Yes, I read it, but my inspiration for Dragon Wing probably came from the book by Weis & Hickman 'Dragon Wing' (first book in the Death Gate Cycle, read it darn you all!). I also thought it up as the name of a fictional publishing company back in 8th grade when I tried to think of how, exactly, you drew a dragon's wing. Ta-da! -------------------- May the forum forgive me I know not what I do I've been chasing a plot bunny That I lost on chapter two.

It sounds reasonable threatening, to my mind. 2. I'll get to it. Oh, and I've posted the deadline up there for all to see now! -------------------- May the forum forgive me I know not what I do I've been chasing a plot bunny That I lost on chapter two.

Um - if we do win but don't want to be a mod, can we sort of skip that part? -------------------- "This writer has forgotten (Her biggest mistake) It's not about the words But the beauty they make." -- Say This Sooner (on fictionpress)

If you win but don't want to be a mod, we can hash things out at that time. I don't have many other prizes to award, but we can try to negotiate and then the first runner-up who wants to be a mod can be a mod. -------------------- May the forum forgive me I know not what I do I've been chasing a plot bunny That I lost on chapter two.

Unfortunately, with my hectic school schedule plus writing all the time plus everything else I love to do, I usually end up promising myself I'll do it -- and then not hving time. I'll try to make time, though, 'cuz this really is awesome. -------------------- "This writer has forgotten (Her biggest mistake) It's not about the words But the beauty they make." -- Say This Sooner (on fictionpress)

Ring any bells

Yes, a few--by why the sudden spam? And it's the fifth of November, not fourth.

... Anyways, Sage, how many official entries do you have so far?

Maybe until December 31st? That would be so nice... Um... not to sound... pushy or anything else along those lines... but I'm sure I'm not the only one who still needs more time. -------------------- We're proud to be Canadian We're awfully nice to strangers, our manners be our curse It's cool in many ways to be Canadian We won't say that we're better, it's just that we're less worse Proud To Be Canadian ~ The Arrogant Worms

I got so caught up in life and donating blood (which will officially be in 16 hours... I'm counting down the hours now grin) and school and writing in general that I completely forgot about starting this. I'm so sorry! I know this is evil of me to ask, but I'd be eternally grateful if you'd push off the end of the contest. If not, I completely understand. I'll probably write it anyway just for fun and keep it rotting on my computer. wink Anyway, talk to you later, I hope. -------------------- "This writer has forgotten (Her biggest mistake) It's not about the words But the beauty they make." -- Say This Sooner (on fictionpress)

Administrator Group: Admin Posts: 104 Member No.: 1 Joined: 13-September 07	I see it's NaNo, and I'll be charitable and assume everybody's hacking away at their current novels or whatnot. How about December 12? So even if you completely blow this month you'll still have 12 days to wrap your story up. But I'd like to have the new mods up before 2008. say, if anybody wants to start a new contest of their own, feel free. It's getting empty in here. -------------------- May the forum forgive me I know not what I do I've been chasing a plot bunny That I lost on chapter two.

I thought of starting another contest, but I thought I should probably finish my entry, first.
