State of the Author: Contest Fics, Longfic Progress, and More! · 5:16am Jul 31st, 2023
Hello all! After a few exciting days of work on fics both large and small, I wanted to post a little about what I'm up to.
Hello all! After a few exciting days of work on fics both large and small, I wanted to post a little about what I'm up to.
Hello everybody. Now, I'll address the elephant in the room, my new contest I'm holding. The OC Hunger Games. Now I realize I haven't been very active when it comes to writing recently, mainly because of the OC Hunger Games. But, I assure you, when the Games end, I'll submit or try to submit the first chapter to Defective, and I'll admit, things have been changed with the story. Not a lot, just minor details is all. Also, as blaitent as my reference will be, to anybody who can catch the name
Despite the constant cheering and screaming from the crowd. Everything was silent to Reneigah as she tried to wake Coalstone from his unconsciousness. She had seen his fight backstage and she’d be lying if she said she wasn’t impressed by her friend’s strength and endurance. Not wanting to be in the way, she stepped aside to let the medics take care of him. Everything else was silent to her, not even the roaring crowd made a sound to her. She was still too shocked by what she saw. Then her
I'm too sick to write something creative so this will be short and sweet. Here are the pre-challenge submissions.
#Shrekt's Submission
The losing team went to their stand in silence. Golden was silently cursing to himself about speaking out. He had to do something to make up for it.
Nova’s body still ached from the numerous attempts he made to bat. Now all of them served as reminders to his failure. While Spark was saddened for the lost she couldn’t help but feel worse for what the dragon was going through. He was so confident in his ability to win them the challenge.
Alright, y'all I'll keep it short n' sweet. The next big challenge won't be until Thursday, so I want some pre-challenges finished. Now that each teammate is settled into the mansion, more or less, I want them to mingle. Here is a list of what I'd like to see.
1) Friendships growing stronger or newly budding
2) Communication between opponents on different teams
3) Drama of any sorts. (Violence/ arguments, etc.)
You find yourself in Equestria! After making friends with all the ponies, you realize how spooked you are to be away from earth...and how nice it'd be to get a hug!
As I write this, You Remind Me Of You is not quite finished with its five-day Featurebox run — but my big recent news is actually about two stories which got an order of magnitude less attention.
Hey, you! Do you like to cuddle ponies? Of course you do- if you don't, you're a commie!
BRRR! It's COLD now and it's only gonna get COLDER over the next few days- here in Chicago, we might be smashing records tonight and tomorrow! (School is canceled for the next 1.5 days!)
Got a two-fer for y’all today!
First up, Muppetz’s Catch and Release.
Y’all may have noticed that one, it was in the feature box. Technically not a not-a-contest submission, but Jetty does work for the EPA, so that ticks a box.
We all love seaponies (we do, right?) because they’re adorable.
AlwaysDressesInStyle has done it again! Another fic for my not-a-contest, this time featuring a hotelier/taxi driver!
For today’s entry we’ve got something that’s not quite in the Not-A-Contest.
Back again folks with two more short entries to the Imposing Sovereign II contest that I picked at random this time. Since there are a few of these up already, I'm going to also at the beginning here link to the first 4 of these blogs. They're easy enough to find, but if you've just hopped on for this latest blog, this will hopefully make it a bit easier to jump around to the others.
Well, now you can! My friend, Scampy, is having an immensely poggers contest. If you write a spectacular Sunset/Wallflower story you can win cash prizes (1-5 places and judge's prizes) and have your story be responsible to donating Real Money to Real LGBT Charities.
Find out about it here!
I mentioned on a blog post of Silver Notes that i'd blatantly crib their style of data tracking posts. Both because it looks fun, and it's a good way of keeping up to date. First though, I thought it'd be nice to give a general update on how things are going.
Hello all! Here, we will present the winning couples of round four, in which will four four winners, and two losers!
Now, I recently added a small incentive for the writers to add to their story if they wanted the extra prize, well, let's just say it didn't really work out and nobody did it... Well, one couple did, but it didn't really live up to the standards so I won't really count it as the extra prize. So, let's get to the meat of this blog and reveal the winners!
So it’s in fashion for authors to do a monthly review of their work. Seen a few folks do it. I think I’m going to start one of my own. It’ll help when I’m feeling discouraged about progress for my stories. In case you're working, the "Takka Takka Takka" is the sound of fingers on a keyboard. I'm 'borrowing' it from Diane Duane's Twitter Account profile pic.
So, at long last, I'm home! BABSCon was freaking epic and far surpassed my expectations... but also for reasons I never saw coming!
