Oh, phew! I had started two for "making do" but hadn't finished them in time. So now I can.

[jedibuttercup]

Looking forward to them! =)

Jedi, have only 4 left from the remaining challenges... stuck on only one for ideas... I will get there lol :)

[jedibuttercup]

Good LORD, girl. =)

BTW, I've got the plot outline of your 4,900 word monster win from last year, but it's likely not going to be finished by Tuesday. Considering that you're going to win half again as much as that this time-- would you prefer them added together, or two separate stories?

Either way is fine with me, but at least one other winner has asked for the wordcount to be combined, so I thought I'd give you that option.

[kayleyangel.livejournal.com]

Either way is fine by me. Maybe start writing and see if you need those additional words from this lot :)

I just have to post the remainder now... but that'll be later today! And maybe a few others... ;p

[beatrice_otter]

Hum. Have noted that there are only three "character: ___" challenges. Those are actually most interesting to me; would you do more, in the future?

[jedibuttercup]

Those were actually before my time, and the previous mod discontinued them because of apparent lack of interest. But it's been a few years; I suppose I might as well give them a chance again this summer. =)

[kerravonsen]

Are you open to random suggestions? 'Cause I have a few:
- Tea
- Language
- Dancing
- Flight
- Honour
- Blue
- Unseen

[jedibuttercup]

Hmmm, those have potential. Of course, the challenge for me will be trying to remember which post you left them on! =)
