Soooo... Is anyone working on anything for this? Or are we focusing on our 10k entries this time?
I was thinking of doing something with Heiji and Haku-chan, but...I'm working on my 10k entry. ^.^; Like, really hard. We'll see.

I have no ideas for this and I think I may be a bit too busy with school xdd Besides with only one week left, I'm not sure if I'll be able to write anything worth it

I have an idea for something with Bourbon and Kid, but not sure how it'll turn out since its been quite busy. Hopefully, I'll have time to work on it.

Unfortunately I think I'm going to be bowing out from the contests for a while. I'll still be here and voting, but right now I have too many other writing projects that I owe other people. I'm still rooting for all of you to finish.

I should have sent that when I started writing, hey? Oh well. I've pretty much finished, just need to edit. It is about 1,400 at the mo, so I'll wait a little while to see if I get any other ideas to make it a bit longer.
So who else is writing one for this comp?

Sad, but I don't think I can finish one in a week. Like Mikau-chan I'm also working on my 10k entry. I really like to finish that one before the 18th. It's the first time I'm actually writing for a 10k competition.

Aww, well good luck Quincy!! It's awesome how many people are doing the 10k one. It is going to be a great day to sit and just read through the fics.

So, apparently I'm participating in this, as my muse decided to go on a rampage while I was donating plasma this morning and hit me with an idea I couldn't get rid of. 3000 words and not even 6 hours of writing later and I'm almost done. Almost. Maybe 1500 words or so left for this idea to finish where I want it to. So my entry should be up sometime tomorrow or Saturday.

Very last-minute participant here – managed to hammer out a 2k AU thing, though I'm afraid it won't be very good, and I've got no idea of how to end it at all... Anyway, will edit and post soon!

Okay. Who is still thinking they'll have an entry by the deadline tomorrow? We've got two entries so far, and I'd really like to have a vote, so I'm thinking of trying to come up with an entry to that end. But if someone else is sure that they'll be entering, I won't have to do that. ^.^; Which would make my life easier. So...if you're still in, let me know. Because I'm perfectly capable of word-vomiting to the tune of 5k in a day, but I had other things I was going to do today. ^.^;

I have something I've been poking at; I hadn't figured I'd have it done by contest's end but there's a chance I might. I'll see what I can do. No promises though.

Okay. I'll just see what I can whip up just in case. Thanks, Ichthy!

Does anyone else occasionally fear the wrath of their plot bunnies?
