Actually, mine is also finished. It's just the third in an ongoing series. :-) Possibly the last in said series, I don't know.

[kerravonsen]

Sorry about that; I had a thinko. I knew it was finished, just put it in the wrong spot, I don't know why.

[infiniteviking]

Posted mine on Friday, but couldn't get online afterwards... here's the link:

http://community.livejournal.com/dwfiction/316502.html
The Nature of the Beast
Doctor Who: Tenth Doctor, Rose, Someone Else; PG-13, wacky humor, spoilers for The Satan Pit.

Technically, I am a scrub.

[alara-r.livejournal.com]

Because only 4,500 of this is new material. However, only the folks on my mailing list have seen the rest of it.

I apologize to those on the mailing list for making less than a third of the word count I'd hoped to reach; home renovations have rendered my house basically unusable for three weeks now, and preparing for said renovations consumed three weeks before that.

Here are 36,500 words of Only Human, Chapter 4 (http://www.alara.net/trek/human4.html). For those of you *not* on the mailing list, happy reading! I've been working on this chapter for like five years now or something. I was hoping the finishathon would push me to get to the good stuff, but sadly real life conspires against me. For those of you on the mailing list, I hope you are at least pleased to get two new scenes.

And yes, I am ending it at a nasty, nasty place.

[megpie71.livejournal.com]

Mine's finished, but not yet posted. Shall attempt to remedy this soonest.

[megpie71.livejournal.com]

Remedied:

Part 1 (http://megpie71.livejournal.com/146716.html)
Part 2 (http://megpie71.livejournal.com/146587.html)
Part 3 (http://megpie71.livejournal.com/146368.html)

It's a different story to the one I was voted to write, as per an earlier explanation to kerravonsen. I wasn't able to locate my copy of LOTR, so instead, you've received the second choice, which is Blake's 7 fic. Enjoy.

[wneleh.livejournal.com]

Total incompetence here - I hadn't realized the deadline was so close. This story is next on my docket (I'm finishing up a Katrina auction story right now), but I'm not going to be done for another month because there's some episode viewing I have to do and background material to read and I work really slowly.

If I can still post the resulting story here, I'd love to. (Yes, I know - go read the rules, Helen...)

[kerravonsen]

Well, you still get a gold star for participating.

[mistraltoes.livejournal.com]

Just wanted to say, Thank you for pushing me to participate. I don't have anything that's really postable at this point, but I've got a very detailed outline, one finished scene, and part of two others. I'm excited because in the back of my mind I know I thought I'd probably never get around to writing this story, and now I know that I will. So from my POV, the finishathon is a success for me.

[thejennabides.livejournal.com]

Oh, sorry! I thought I had emailed you a couple of weeks ago. I lost my apartment and won't be able to finish my fic as I don't have a permanent abode at the moment. I'm losing internet access today for an indefinite period (which I'm hoping won't be too long), but I'll check email when I can if you need to reach me. thejennabides @ livejournal.

Sorry again for the late notice.

[kerravonsen]

Sorry about that.

[andraste]

Eeep!

I honestly thought the stories were due today; I have a new job and have had a houseguest all week until this morning, so I've been busy. I do have a draft done, but at this point I'd like to take a bit longer and get it betaed. (Even if it means I can't play next year.)

[kerravonsen]

Naw, you can play next year. You only get blacklisted if I don't hear an eeep out of you. 8-P

[andraste]

Naw, you can play next year. You only get blacklisted if I don't hear an eeep out of you. 8-P

Thank you - I'll try to get the story posted ASAP.

[jinxed-wood.livejournal.com]

Argh - sorry for being late with the links, the last post didn't register on my radar. My piece didn't get to 10,000 words, but did get past the 5,000 mark - I seem to remember that we have a weeks grace to tidy the piece up, so maybe I'll be able to finish it by then!

Piece so far (http://jinxed-wood.livejournal.com/9258.html#cutid1)

Chapter Eight (http://jinxed-wood.livejournal.com/29853.html#cutid1)

Chapter nine (http://jinxed-wood.livejournal.com/30170.html#cutid1)

[kerravonsen]

Yeah, I was puzzled I hadn't heard from you, because I did notice you posting chapters on crossoverfic so I knew you were working on it...

[dragonsinger.livejournal.com]

*Hangs head* I couldn't do it. I tried...I tried! But...I just...I don't know what's wrong with me. I know...I am shamed. I'll understand if you blacklist me. I deserve it.

[kerravonsen]

It wasn't only that you couldn't do it -- I couldn't do it myself this time. It was that I didn't hear from you also.

[dragonsinger.livejournal.com]

I know. I'm sorry. You're right. I should've let you know sooner. Anything I can do to make it up to you?

[kerravonsen]

Well, you're making a good start with the grovelling. 8-)

The point about the "get in touch if you can't finish" rule is that, if people don't get in touch, it says that they're brushing off the ficathon as something not worth bothering with, and if that's how they feel, then there's no point in letting them participate again, because such people are simply wasting my time, the time I use to organise this (every participant is one little extra piece of time I have to use to write up the polls and so on).

So in order to convince me not to blacklist you, you have to convince me that you do take this seriously, that I won't be wasting my time if I let you participate again.

How about this:
a) post what you have so far of your story, add comment here so I can add it to the masterlist.
b) put all your other fics on the backburner, and finish this one ASAP. If it's not completely finished and betaed by the end of January, I'll have to blacklist you. Sorry, but I should be blacklisting you anyway, but in giving you this second chance, the terms need to be stricter. Okay?

[dragonsinger.livejournal.com]

*LOL* I totally understand. All right. I can do that. I should've said something, and I am the idiot who didn't pay attention.

Is posting to my journal sufficient? It's a little unbetaed, but I'm certainly willing to put forth the effort.:)

[kerravonsen]

Is posting to my journal sufficient?

Yes, many people post to their journals, that's fine.

[dragonsinger.livejournal.com]

Awesome.:)

[dragonsinger.livejournal.com]

Ta da! Here is the first part of mine. Inheritance -- Prologue (http://dragonsinger.livejournal.com/657634.html) .

Thank you so much for giving me a second chance. It's my own stupid ass who didn't check the community and didn't even think you might want to hear from me since I didn't finish. *Hangs head...again* Once again, I do apologize for not seeing this post and saying something sooner.

I'm not usually this rude. I swear. And I promise I'll never be that rude again. *Is embarrassed*

[kerravonsen]

Masterlist updated!

(((HUGS)))

End of January Update

[dragonsinger.livejournal.com]

Hey there! I've been working on my fic every available moment I've had. I'm halfway through it, though, but I intend to finish. I'm going to give the first two parts a second read through, then post them asap. I just wanted to let you know where I stood, and to thank you for giving me this second chance.
