Idril Mar Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Guidelines:To participate, create a new thread. The subject of the thread must be the title of your story.

Jordan aka FltAdmlWolf Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Just as a side note, Rocar, Tyr, Idril and I are working to make this Writing Challenge process a lot smoother, so there shouldn't be such a lag time in judging and such now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ TyrWaltas Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 Good luck to everyone in the new challenge. I thoroughly enjoyed writing for the last one and am going to try to get a few of my crew to step up this time around. I think this is a good way to stretch ones' "creative wings" and write outside the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan aka FltAdmlWolf Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Just to sweeten the deal, I wanted to make a note that winners would be posted on the news reel on the new website from now on And we'll probably be moving the hall of fame (eventually) to a permanent area on the website.

Alana Devar Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 I'm sweating here -- I'm not done with my story yet, but I'm never really happy with what I do. I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't win but ah well... at least I tried! Come on guys! I can't wait to see what you got! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ Makal Kora Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 (edited) Speaking of your story... we went to the academy together. ::scared:: Edited March 4, 2005 by Makal Kora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alana Devar Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Well, since she never did the Vulcan stuff she never went to the Science Academy, so she probably wouldn't have met Makal or been in the same class. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alana Devar Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Is it just me or can I not edit my posts?! I want to submit the final draft of my story without making it a reply. I thought it might be my computer at work, but it's doing it at home too. HELP SOMEONE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indulekshmi Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 You can't edit your own posts after a certain time-period. The only thing you can do now is to delete that post, and post again. Or post in another post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
