Author	Topic: The Essential Guide to OCs ~ The OC DeathCoaster: It's baaaaack! ~
leiamoody Registered: Nov '05	Date Posted: 12/11/06 10:44pm Subject: RE: The Essential Guide to O.C.s - First Challenge Entries Due Thursday !!
	An extension would be a great help. Right now I have two characters going down a corridor, but they aren't helping me in getting them out of there. And they aren't answering any comm messages I send them, so I have to wait until they get in touch with me before I can continue the story. Yes, it is just that insane. -----signature----- "Pabst Blue Ribbon!"

	OCs that are unco-operative and ignoring the calls on their caller-id?!?! It's so insane I'm giddy. Alrighty then, we'll push things back to Saturday the 16th. -----signature----- Remember: If it's a Mary Sue, then it isn't original...

	It gets worse with my characters. Sometimes they come over and spend hours hogging my TV and computer. (I swear one of them's been looking at porn again...Hey, get outta that fridge! Touch those cookies and I'll end it all right now!!!!). Sorry, where was I? Oh, thanks for the extension. -----signature----- "Pabst Blue Ribbon!"

	I've looked and I probably skipped right over it, but where is the latest challenge? Is there a post that has them all listed? -----signature----- R.I.P John, Alex, Jason, and Christian Never forgotten Soldiers' Angels http://soldiersangels.org/ 2114 soldiers waiting for someone to care

	I've never written a SW OC, not one that had more than five lines at least. I respect OCs and the people who write them, but I never felt the urge to write an OC story myself. I like to stick with either straight fanfiction or straight original fiction. Why then did I click on this thread? I don't know. Why, after clicking on said thread, did I decide to write a challenge entry? I really don't know. I just know that I want to try, and I have a few questions. 1) This may sound like a stupid question, but we post the stories now and you post the links after the due date, right? We don't need to all hold our stories back until the due date, correct? I feel silly asking, but I would feel even sillier accidentally violating the rules. 2) I know we can't use any cannon characters, but can we mention them in passing? 3) Can I write more than one entry? 4)Do I just PM you a link or do I send the whole heading Title: Author: Genre: Timeframe: Summary: Notes: ? -----signature----- Mrs. Lovett: You're barking mad! Killing a man what done no harm to ya! Sweeney Todd: He recognized me from the old days. Tried to blackmail me. Mrs. Lovett: Oh, well that's a different matter then. For a moment there I thought you lost your marbles.

	Yeah, I guessed right; between the holidays, and rebellious OCs, everyone could use a little more time. VaderLVR64 posted: I've looked and I probably skipped right over it, but where is the latest challenge? Is there a post that has them all listed? About 2/3 of the way down on page one is the Challenge Section MamaV. It's the first one for the thread, and to celebrate there's four topics to choose from! emeraldshadow posted: I've never written a SW OC, not one that had more than five lines at least.

Welcome emeraldshadow! To answer your questions in no particular order: 1) No don't hold your story, write and post it as soon as your ready, then PM me the link and I will post them after the due date. 4) Just PM me the link, that's all the indexing info I need. 2) Unless the challenge calls for it, there is no canons - except in passing. For Example: Mace Windu is the Jedi Master who sent your OC Jedi on his/her particular mission. 3)If you've got the motivation, do it up! There are no silly questions...well there actually are; but you haven't asked them yet. Anxiously awaiting your PMs people. -----signature----- Remember: If it's a Mary Sue, then it isn't original...

	Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to finish my entry on time. First I was too busy, now I'm not feeling well. Oh well. Maybe next time, and don't worry I'll still read and vote -----signature----- Daniel Paul Harms (1958-2007) Seph Danthar's diary @ http://boards.theforce.net/the_saga/b10476/29688948/p1/ lordmaul13's partner in crime
