    For those who have signed up - how long did it take you to get your activation email? I signed up almost four hours ago and haven't seen anything. I already checked on their site and followed their instructions for non-receipt of the activation email, but have yet to get anything.

    The problem is probably at my end then. If I haven't heard anything in 24 hours I will send another email. (Yes, I did check my spam folder as well as my main folder).

    My account is reactivated, and I'm ready to go! Now I just need to decide on a plot . . . Or at least a unifying theme. [face_thinking]

    Just signed up! I never outline usually, but I started today. Now the hard thing is telling myself NOT to start writing yet. I'm itching to begin, but I can't...

    But if you think like that, you won't! Trust me, it'll take some work, but you CAN do it! I know you can!

    :) This sounds like a wonderful challenge.
    Everybody who is anybody should do it!
    Are we allowed to write fanfiction or is it strictly original?
    Anybody know?
    Thanks!

    I finally got my activation email - it was in my inbox this morning when I checked so I can now sign on. There was a note that they were having problems with the emails in one of the tech threads.

    The fan fiction issue was answered on page 1 of this thread. The basic answer is 'yes, it can be fan fiction'.

    It's really hard for me to not start the novel NOW. I'm so used to writing as soon as I get an idea, so actually planning it out before hand is a bit of a challenge. But I AM going to do this this year. I will succeed... Very handy that the first week of November is vacation for me...

    Hmmm... I'm thinking, maybe, just maybe, I can use my english lessons to write it if I explain it to the teacher...

    Chances are this though either she says a big 'NO!!' or makes the whole class do it. most likly the first.

    And just a question, any ideas on planning stories? 'Cause I usually just get an idea in my head and start writing.

    Ish: That's a great idea! I've been considering posting a thread for tf.n, but I wasn't sure how much interest there would be in it. I know it'd be nice to have the support, especially for those of us doing fanfic.

    And like Master VM, I must congrat all of you who've joined up! :D Good luck!

    It would be fun to have a tf.n support group on there, even though I'm <gasp!> probably going to write an original piece.

    I'm in the same boat you are. I never plan things out usually. But I started planning out this fic and it really is beginning to write itself. Now I just have to hold myself to the outline. But fill out some character sheets, figure out your plot, outline chapters...there are many different things you can do.

    And yes, make a TFN thread! I'm doing original, but I'd still love to drop in.

    I'm not sure on the rules over there for creating groups but you could PM one of the mods and ask if it is OK. When I posted in the England:London regional group I mentioned that I was a mod here and I had publicized the website in this forum. I am over there as LAJ_Fett..
