I'll give the challenges a shot. Not promising this will be successful, but there might be something amazing that comes out of this experience. (Is it weird that challenges sometimes bring out some of an author's best work?)

Sounds interesting grin I'll definitely be looking on, if not participating.

Question: Will there be a challenge to write for -every- week of discussion? AKA 25 fics by the end of the workshop? And is there a real deadline-- if you miss a week or you're late are you 'disqualified' or anything?

Interesting! I'll try to follow the discussion around here, but I won't have time to write challenges now.

I'll be keeping an eye on this, but my time's at a premium at the moment, so I might not post all the time.

Is it required that we get all of the challenges in on a specific date?

Good questions, guys. happy

The challenges are purely to help you grow as a writer. There are no -real- deadlines, and it's not a contest, so no-one can be disqualified. I would prefer if the challenges were completed and posted within your portfolio thread the week they are issued, but if that becomes an issue it's not a big deal for you to be late.

Emmi is in the middle of final exams right now, so I presume we will be starting once she is finished, which would be early next week.

If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be 'meetings'.

I'm likely not to be around next week as I have the final assignment for my OU course to do. After that, I should be free to devote time to this stuff.
