Majestic Fox Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Silk, I haven't managed to finish my chapter yet. Working on it now - will send on later tonight if I can manage to get myself in the groove. If I don't, is it acceptable to send it tomorrow, or do I have to accept failure and commit ritual suicide? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinski Posted June 5, 2015 Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 Somebody vote me down for taking up a slot and then not submitting. Sorry guys, I'm drowning in work at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersoup Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 I think it's time to close the door on Glass Skies and just write. There are so many scenes that I need to retool that I would essentially have to start over again to make sure people don't get lost. I'm very thankful for all the feedback and general poking and prodding that lead me to these realizations, and rest assured they won't go to waste. Setting Glass Skies aside, I will be submitting some short stories for review as soon as I finish them. Just not this week. I have woven a new Mantle from the fibrous silk of a dark Nestiling spider, which I have imbued with the aura of Temporary Suspension. Now I don it, and offer that others may use it as necessary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silk Posted June 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Man, we're building up quite the reliquary of wondrous items, here. So: Majestic Fox, Robinski, and Mandamon for tomorrow, so far? Please do correct me if I've missed anyone! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turos Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 I'm very late, but mind if I pop in for a new short submission? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majestic Fox Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Sign me up for submission on Monday please Kheldar. Unless there's a cavalcade of newcomers, in which case I'll bow out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandamon Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) Same for me, as usual. On the plus side, I'm getting close to the end of the story and after that I'll stop submitting for a while. Next week's entry is a little shorter (2600 words).

Robinski Posted June 12, 2015 Report Share Posted June 12, 2015 Yeah, I'm up for Monday too, if I may, I've got 6 chapters left, but I'll take a back seat if necessary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestic Fox Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 Robinski, have you already finished your story, like Mandamon? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinski Posted June 14, 2015 Report Share Posted June 14, 2015 Yeah, it's my Nanowrimo project from 2012. It's 63,000 words or thereby, and in fact is probably ultimately part of a novel. I was going to write 6 shorts set in various places that I've been on holiday in my earlier years and which made an impression on me (Rutland Water; Cambridge; Cornwall; Venice; The Mediterranean and Norfolk). The breakdown so far is as follows: 1 - To Sail Beyond Sleep (24,600 word novella) 2 - The Tontine Inn by the Shore (17,370 word novelette) 3 - (Cornwall story - 1,170 word outline - so far!) 4 - The Mathematical Bridge (63,858 word novel) 5 - (Venice story - 967 word idea) 6 - (Norfolk story - who knows!) It may turn out that some of those blanks end up being no more than linking scenes that knit the rest together. I can see the climax being in Venice - amazing place, best visited off-season. You had to ask... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandamon Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Glad to see the final lineup, Robinski. If you haven't read Mary Robinette Kowal's Glamourist Histories, the 4th one takes place in Venice and is very enjoyable! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinski Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Glad to see the final lineup, Robinski. If you haven't read Mary Robinette Kowal's Glamourist Histories, the 4th one takes place in Venice and is very enjoyable! I'm not familiar with MRK's oeuvre other than what I've heard on WE, but I'm sure Venice must be a very popular location for stories. It largely came out of about 300 words that my daughter wrote when we were there, but there's no doubt that it's a strange, magical, even slightly absurd place. I mean who in their right mind would build such as place? The Italians, of course! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Wednesday Posted June 18, 2015 Report Share Posted June 18, 2015 Hey all, I would love to get back into the game next Monday (6/22) if there's room. I'm going to catch up on as much feedback as possible between now and then! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinski Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 If there's a slot from on Monday when the dust settles, I would be pleased to take it. I'd like to finish posting Maths Bridge in the next few weeks, if I can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandamon Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Same here. Only a few more weeks to finish up for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
