Finish-a-thon 2010 Master Post!

[kerravonsen]

Stories are now due!

If you have finished
Make a comment here, saying "finished", and the URL where the story is.

If you have a partially complete story
Make a comment here, saying "partial", and the URL where the partial story or 1000-word extract is.

If you have nothing to post
Make a comment here, saying "tried", and some explanation as to why you did not succeed.

I am using the awesome power of the finish-a-thon wiki to present the story-finished results in a neat manner, in the Author Status Page. This page will be updated periodically as the information comes in.

ETA:
The following are in danger of being have been blacklisted:

Tried

[izhilzha.livejournal.com]

I tried, but between a ton of RL crappiness and losing my original opening scene (which put me right off my stride for this story), I don't even have 1,000 words to share. :(

Finished

Needs beta but finished!

[beccastareyes]

I tried, but I took on too much over the July-August period, so the story fell to the wayside.

Partial.

"Ancestress"
At Stories of Arda
At troubledtribble (excluding prologue)

I'm actually quite close to finishing as I have most of the remaining chapters pretty much done-- except that they all need to be edited for word count, as some are way over and a few way under, and I think I may need a couple more transitional chapters.

[jedibuttercup]

So far, I have 2,700 of the 7,000 words I said I'd write up. Give me several hours, though, and the number will jump! I have some editing to do; I'll update again later.

Chapter 12 of Book's Legacy was added, here:

The above link is to a filtered post on my lj in which you (kerravonsen) are the only member of the filter.

Besides what's there, I also have numerous note cards, scraps of paper, etc. filled with partial scenes. I feel as if I made some progress. Unfortunately, it's not as much as I'd like.

[kerravonsen]

I'll have to put you down as "tried", since the post isn't public. Sorry if that wasn't clear. It's perfectly fine for you not to post anything, but I can't give you credit if it isn't publicly available.

My goal was 8,000 words to continue an epic multi-chapter tale which had lain dormant for over a year -- I managed 2,060 words in a complete and edited chapter, and about 820 words in the next chapter, which is very incomplete but looking promising.

"Lords of Gondor"

The tag will take you first to the unfinished rough draft of Chapter 47, followed by the completed and edited Chapter 46, which are the two additions to the tale instigated by the Finish-a-thon challenge -- plus all the earlier chapters in descending order.

In addition, I did complete the story that finished as a close second to the one that won the poll. I know it won't count in the Finish-a-thon, but I thought people might want to read it, since a number voted for it, and it almost won!

Tried

[calliopes_pen]

I really tried. Unfortunately, I don't have 1000 words to share. A ton of real life issues got in the way, causing it to fall to the wayside.

[mahaliem.livejournal.com]

That's fine. I'm still hoping to finish it and just don't wish to post publicly the disjointed mess it's in right now.

(Almost finished!)

[astrum-presul.livejournal.com]

I had a little bit of a RL setback, but I'm almost ready. I'll have a link up by the end of the day here.

Another setback - I'll have it up by morning. I"m exhausted.

Partial

[alara-r.livejournal.com]

In both senses -- I committed to either 30,000 words or finishing the story, and I didn't do either, but I did get 14,000 words on it. Which probably just means my expectations for what I could pull off in two months were *way* too optimistic. :-)

Partial

[jinxed-wood.livejournal.com]

Partial - because I'm made of writerly fail the last two months. It's a short chapter, but it's over the thousand words so...

Heaven and Earth: Chapter Eighteen (http://jinxed-wood.livejournal.com/231370.html#cutid1)

Partial

[ceshaughnessy.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I wasn't able to finish due to way too many RL comittments, but I did make some progress at least! My story, "Quest" is here: http://www.lotrgfic.com/viewstory.php?sid=326

[joyfulfeather.livejournal.com]

Finished, though my definition of "finished" changed between sign-ups and now.

The entry appears to be f'locked.

[joyfulfeather.livejournal.com]

*facepalm* Fixed, sorry about that!

[spades-fire.livejournal.com]

Finished. (http://shadesoffree.insanejournal.com/8786.html)

This story decided to develop a mind of its own, and then go completely insane on me. Literally. asjlkmmdhf

[jedibuttercup]

Up to 5,400 words. I may be able to manage the rest in the next week; not sure I'll have the time, though.

Chapter 13 of Book's Legacy is here:

Finished!
