That's what "Blue Christmas" means to me, midnight.

Okay. Everyone should have their assignments now. If I goofed and you don't, please let me know and I'll get things sorted. Good luck everyone. Have fun!

neonquincy1217 Mm... This is probably a dumb question but I don't really know what a blue Christmas is, or what you mean by it. Blue as in literal blue? Searching on the net I see it can also mean a sad or rainy. I'm guessing then that you want an emotional drawing? The beauty of this is you're free to interpret it the way you want to. As for me, while typing this, all I wanted was a play on "blue" and "Aoko (blue child)," and Christmas

Ah, I see! That was actually my first thought but I wanted to ask just in case.
Okay then, let's do this!

I told my brother that this year, my goal for the Secret Santa event was to stay somewhere in the ballpark of 5k. He laughed in my face. :/ Granted, my fics for the past two years were about 15k and 18k respectively, I get where he’s coming from, but he didn’t have to laugh outright.
I’m beginning to think he’s right, though. I wrote the first scene last night, intending it to be about five hundred words, but it somehow ended up at 1,595. :/ I have at least two more scenes left to go. Maybe I should readjust my goal to keeping it under 10k.
How is everyone else doing? Do you have your ideas? Are the muses cooperating?

Sounds like something my sister would do xD
Yup, I have an idea and started sketching. The sketch hasn't reached it's final form so if I don't like how it ends up I'll just discard it and try something else

I haven't been very motivated to write recently, but my piece is rapidly taking on a life of its own, completely ignoring the outline I wrote for it.

Hey there guys! How is it going? Just a reminder that today is the dropping out deadline, so please let me know sooner rather than later if you’ll be unable to complete your assigned gift.

Um... I think I wrote myself into a corner. Which wouldn’t be that big of a deal if I wasn’t 5,000 words in before I figured it out.

I’m sorry. Maybe shelve it for a day and come back with fresh eyes? I’m not sure what the problem is, so I don’t know if that’s helpful, but...I’m sure whatever you write will be fabulous. All of your contest pieces have been wonderful, so I expect this will be no different.

Yup, calm down, disconnect and try again with renewed energy. That works with me as well. Unfortunately, sometimes discarding is also an option, if you really are stuck and can't find a way out. But you should give it some time first, just in case.
I just finished with the lineart. I doubt I'll have it by the 24th but I'll work on it so I'll have it on the next following days

That’s fine. You have until the thirty-first to get it posted. Turn in doesn’t start until the twenty-fifth.

*Throws hands in the air in an awkward mixture of frustration and triumph* Done! With the writing portion... now to let it sit for a couple of days and see how much editing it really needs.

Congrats, NewUserNamesAreHard!
I’m about 6k into mine. I’m pretty happy with it so far, but I’m worried it’s not going to be what the person wanted. -.-; Anyway, I probably only have two or three thousand words left to write, so I should be in good shape. I haven’t had much time to write what with working, like, sixty hours this week, but now I’m off for Christmas, so it will get done.
How is everyone else doing? Are your works progressing well and entering the final stages?

And done. It’s clocking in at just under 12k without editing. I’ll get it edited after work tomorrow and then post it tomorrow night.
How is everyone else doing with theirs?
