Parental issues, have to share computer with two others...and one is a neopets/club penguin addict XP
(would of gotten it up yesterday if the laptop hadn't been snatched from me)

I had a lot of symbolic language in it too (something the History teacher said I ought to have)...

I posted my story to livejournal because whenever I try to paste my text into the textbox, it gives all sorts of weird symbols where quotation marks are supposed to be D:<

Help me! (nevermind I fixed the problem with quotations, but not with the accent mark on creche)

Ahaha, if I had my fic on time it would strain the challenge a bit (not too grand a quest, but a big dissappointment). But ain't pregnancy an uphill battle?

Two fics makes it a lot harder. Maybe my challenge parameters could of been relaxed so someone would of taken it (the one with gender roles and H'mnenthe...) XD

I actually won one? shock shock

Drex feels vindicated wink and he says thank you for giving him a token of thanks for his trouble wink I really put him through the wringer to make him talk about it grin


I'm actually planning an extended edition of that story in the near future, Thursday-Sunday I was really pushing it trying to get it written in time for the deadline tongue I had always wanted to do the backstory with Drex/Ren for the Triad Chronicles and I had actually written the scene where he finds the head awhile back, but the story never went anywhere at the time I wrote it. The challenge was a great opportunity to dust that off and tweak it and build backstory grin



I'll have to think on what I want to do to challenge you guys grin

Edit -- I was too ecstatic to see that I missed that Ale was coming back tongue Welcome back, Ale!!! hugs

Maybe I ought to submit Elmira into the database (although I want her to remain a non-SW character in my mind).

I was waiting for the winners yesterday. Hopefully, the next challenge will be very stimulating (and able to be written with Yuuzhan Vong XP)
