Finish-a-thon Message Post

[kerravonsen]

First, since I am going to be overseas when the stories are due, I'm giving everyone a week's extension. That means that stories will be due 10pm, 2nd November 2007 (GMT). You can post them to your journal/website earlier if you like, but the master-post won't be going up until then.

Second, if anyone has any "Sorry, I can't finish!" messages and the like, post them in the comments here -- that way they will all be in one place, and this post will be here, waiting for them.

If I can't meet the 10k words requirement by Nov 2, will that count as failing? (RL creeps up on me unexpectedly)

The 10K words requirement is only for people who declared "this story is an epic, it will not be possible to finish it, therefore I commit to writing 10K words". The normal requirement is simply to finish the story; the wordcount for that is irrelevant, since stories tend to have a natural length of their own. So far as I can tell, you didn't commit to writing 10K words, so all you have to do is finish the story.

That being said, there are three possibilities:
(a) you succeed -- yay
(b) you do not complete the assignment (whether that be 10K words or finished story) but you leave a nice note in this post. This gets you a gold star for participating.
(c) you do not complete the assignment, and you do not leave a note. This gets you blacklisted from participating again.
