I just posted my first challenge and I went completely blank when I tried to add the characters -- can the challenge be edited, and if so, how do I add names?

Midnight site time! Which yes is NY.

And we have until midnight tomorrow -- is that in every location? which is midnite in NY is 3 hours earlier than SF, for example.

I know, Sandy, but I was hoping to squeeze this into a one-shot, which is a rarity from me

I've let years go by between postings, and lemme tell you, the drop off rate is killer. No one wants to read old stories and god forbid the story is in the universe that ate Sunnydale -- that means (if they've forgotten) re-reading an epic spanning 10 stories.

You don't have to be finished!

I am not gonna get this finished in time to post, unless I deliberately break where I don't want to, and just post what I have. . .

You guys, I had so much fun posting the first work in the Video Arts category. smile) (I already officially reported the technical details of how the process surprised me.) It's older work, but I hope getting the trial and error out of the way may help others post potential new vids in the future. smile

Totally, Ginger...my two longest fics took two or three years each. I need to write shorter things. lol

I had more time on my hands when none of us were going anywhere but now I’m back on-site 70% at work, socializing again, have my volunteer commitments, my activism (who knew that would be such a big part of my 2nd act), and my partner and I seem to be making up for lost time with travel. 🤷🏻

It would make me anxious to have a fic go on that long, too. I get in such MOODS when it comes to writing. How I'm feeling in the spring is not how I'll be feeling in the fall and if my fic is stretching on and on I feel like the story might be affected since the FEEL of the fic is paramount for me.

Happy birthday, madspuffyfan! May your day be joyous and the year ahead full of delights.

I’m always amazed by how prolific some writers (present company included) manage to be. I’ve pretty much resolved to limit myself to works of ten chapters or less from here on out, because long fics will drag on for YEARS and that makes me anxious.

Dusty
Oh I'm so excited to read the last chapter, Ginger! It's been such a great ride. And I'm with you on that needing all the fic time and real life just not cooperating!

Ginger
Finally put my 1st SAD-exclusive fic to bed. It will remain exclusive until I get around to posting it anywhere else - anytime from about a week to six months from now due to my unforunate reliance on food and shelter that necessitates gainful employment. If only I could make due with a crypt.

Kent I think because it was in the bracelet that broke that Buffy found.
September 24, 2022 10:31pm

Niamh
In the sacrifice one -- where Buffy got roofied by the college guys worshipping the demon -- that was not UCSD and it also mentioned an nearby HS, but I can't remember the names of anything these days, so yeah. Gotta google it I guess
