    Okay… October is going to be a really busy month for fanfic and fan art events plus the fact that I’m generally struggling with writing, so I’m trying not to get too carried away with goals :p
    • Medium goal: finish one chapter of Wolf Brother
    • Medium goal: finish the last chapter of Do Not Disturb
    • Medium goal: finish Wren/Kaz one-shot for Louis Armstrong challenge
    • Small goal: write 100 words on untitled Ezra story

    @Findswoman
    Could you change my last Large goal from "Finish multiple one-shots for mini games challenges (Latin and Romanticism)" to "Finish multiple untitled one-shots"?

    I would also like to add another Medium goal: Finish vignette for Haiku mini challenge.

    Thank you so much!

    Just a few more days. :D

    Got them in, thanks so much! So glad as always that you’ll be in on this again. And hey, nothing wrong with shooting for the stars! :)


    Well, thank you so much! It’s always so much fun to run this challenge and see all the great work that comes out of it—and for me that goes even during months when I don’t end up getting much done! And especially to have such wonderful folks from this communion board—that’s really the best part! :cool:

    Got it all in, and sounds good to me—the summer has been hard on me too in terms of writing, so right with you there!


    Done and done, thanks so much and looking forward! Yes, just a few more days indeed—and I know I am feeling quite a combination of “eep!” and “*cracks knuckles*” about it! :D

    So, the index should be fully updated now—as always, please let me know if I’ve missed anything! Thank you all, and really looking forward to this! :)

    All right, look what the OTP thread made me do:

    May I add Finish untitled OTP Our Song + Plot Point Challenge vignette as another medium goal? [face_mischief] Thank-you! [:D]

    Excellent! Got these in the index. Great to have you in the writing portion, too! :)

    Wonderful, got it in! I figured people might want to add some goals based on that, which is why I posted it when I did. :D

    Just two more days before we get this ball rolling, everyone! So excited! :D

    I'd like to commit as a Reviewer for 5 stories.

    I don't have any fanfic WIPs at this time, so I can't put in any official goals, but in solidarity I'll mention trying to put at least 10,000 words into my ongoing original novel in October.

    Well, it's a good thing I thought to check if something like this was happening, on 30 September at 1:30 a.m. during a bout of insomnia...

    Sign me up!

    Medium goal: finish an untitled one-shot I have in the works for the OC challenge.

    Large goals:
    5000 words for The Tale of Noora and Seyf
    5000 words for The Kyberkerk of Jedha
    5000 words for Outsiders

    (I'll come back here and edit in links in the morning. I'm posting from mobile right now and I don’t want to get up and turn on the laptop, because if I do I'll never sleep at all!)

    I still owe everyone a gazillion reviews for their Summer Olympics stories, so I'll sign up for only 5 reviews for this challenge.

    Thanks for hosting this challenge again @Findswoman !

    Better make it 5 reviews for me, as well. :p

    Edit: Just saw the OC challenge deadline is Oct. 31st, so I'll do another medium goal of "Finish vignette for OC challenge"

    - 100 words on untitled "5 things" fic
    - 100 words on untitled "Mando" fic

    Medium Goals:

    Wow, great job, you all! Very nice work being done! Got it all in the index now. Keep up the fab work! :cool:

    As for me, I'm working on that Lasan Series one-shot that's at the top of my "medium goals" list, and I'm hoping I can wrap it up by the end of this week. Will depend on many things, however, so please wish me luck! :)
