On alternative number 2, do you mean astrology or astronomy?

Yep, I meant Astrology, but Astronomy comes under "space" anyway. ^_^

Not sure for myself yet, but this seems a prime topic for a story with Mitsuhiko.

I have an idea for this, and it's probably going to my list of firsts, but I'm not sure if I have time to write at all... I'll try...

I think my idea's fallen through because the more I think about it, the less it makes sense to incorporate "space" into it. -.- Boo...

I'm in. Provided that I didn't go over the word limit by too much. I'm writing in the notepad on my phone, and it doesn't have a word count, so I can't tell where I'm at. :/ I did an entry for Mess on my phone too, but it turned out to be 1,500 words when I'd gotten it onto my computer, and I just don't have the heart to gut it. ^.^;

Oooh, you did something for Mess? Do you plan on posting it somewhere? As for me, I don't think I can pull off an entry this time around. Maybe next time *files away Kogorou and Eri for a later date*...

Yeah, I guess I will post it since I have it written. I just need to edit it because I wrote it 1) on my phone and 2) massively sleep deprived. ^.^; And it ended up a Haibara Kaito piece that started off as total crack but ended on a somber yet hopeful note.
My Space entry is a HakuSera piece, though. ^.^
Bam. I have just transferred my entry from my phone to my computer where I have words count capabilities, and my entry is 4,505 words unedited! I am officially in. ^o^
