Maybe I should try to set up a 'Scrape the ToS'-Challenge one day. Write a fic that almost is too much.

Haha! I've written a couple of stories like that. With the right euphemisms and as long as you don't refer to any specific body parts you can get pretty far.

I'm aiming at updating every 10-14 days, but I still haven't managed to squeeze in any of the challenges.

So far, I incorporated this month's challenge into "Those Eyes!"... though it wasn't exactly heated up for the author of the diary, to her utter mortification, it was her parents who got steamy. mischief

Ahhhhh! Poor girl! LOL. Will she be traumatized for life?


Luckily, my diary character "Loch" tends to skate along the risque anyway, (especially in my Loch's Luck story in Before) so getting him heated up shouldn't be a problem. LOL. I might even enjoy it. In my mind's eye, he looks alot like Hugh Jackman! devil

Half time!
Congrats to all still arund and writing.
applause rose applause

What have your experiences been with the challenge so far? Was it easy? Is the format living up to your expectations? How about the constant updating? Is the challenge still fun?
Would you do it again? (Don't say 'no', I did and see what happened... tongue )

I've been enjoying it so far. I can't comment on the other things, but I'm still liking it. This has to be my longest fic ever and it's only going to get longer. I don't know if I'll do it again, I'll have to see what happens. It's a great challenge though, and I love it. grin

I'm having lots of fun with the diaries... though it is quite a challenge to update 4 1/2 of them twice a month. I'll do it again, but, write only ONE diary. laugh

Mine is going well though slowly. But new things have turned up since I started, so that makes it more interesting.

still love writing them and as things progress more and more is added (started with 30 planned posts) and now are more added so I am updating once a week with all three diaries.

Great fun with a real bad guy, an old retired Jedi and a child growing up

And stories have spawned more ideas for other diaries.

I'm still having fun with Qui-Gon, after six months of set up work, we're finally getting to the real meat and what the story is actually about. tongue

Has it really been six months already? It doesn't really seem like it has been. The constant updating is really a thing that helps keep me going actually, by knowing I have to within a certain time frame or be out of the running, it gives me a deadline that I need to complete an update, instead of spending all my time waffling around and not updating.

Tempting, very tempting ... mischief Sadly, my OC doesn't have much love life at the moment, though that could cause much hilarity to follow! Ah, it's a crime that I'm writing a serious story, I could have fun with this laugh

Anyway, happy half way everyone who is still hanging on! grin My biggest trouble has been procrastination: this is my first real WIP, and I always find myself forgetting about time between updates until the day before the deadline...

Phew Jinngerbread! I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels like they took 6 months to get into the actual meat of the story!:)
