Ash he/him Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 I can submit another short story, Fantasy this time, if there is a slot left or I can wait until next week.
Silk she/her Posted October 4, 2014 Author Posted October 4, 2014 There's still one slot available, Ash, so I'll put you on the list for now. Since you did submit last week, I'll ask you to just keep an eye on this thread until the actual submission date rolls around--the same goes for Robinski since he's been submitting fairly frequently. Just in case there's a burst of last-minute interest and I need to ask somebody to step back.
Mark Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Silk I was wondering what the rules are for linking google docs files? I do all of my work there, so it'd be easier to just link directly to there. No worries if it isn't allowed, though.
Dysphoric Kitten she/her Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Everybody, this is the time to say Mazal Tov! I just measured my now-submission-ready story ("History of Equality"), and it is technically almost 200 words above the flash fiction limit, which is about twice my biggest piece so far! So you are most probably going to get a short story from me tomorrow. Sorry, by the way, I know that this is sort of spam - I just had to share in one way or another, and submitting a day too soon seemed like bending the rules just a bit too much. Love you all! *kisses a random person on the lips* *startled, Mark punches Tal in the face* *Tal, too excited to notice, waltzes away with a broken nose and a red-stained shirt* *Minotaur sees red and charges, frenzied* *Tal ignores getting squashed by two hundred kilos of muscle* *Chuck Norris is impressed* (okay, that is certainly enough foolishness) 2
Mark Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 I am outraged by this misrepresentation. A minotaur is a kind, loving animal who only has mild anger management issues. And I would certainly not react that way to a kiss. 3
Silk she/her Posted October 5, 2014 Author Posted October 5, 2014 *giggle snort* Ahem. What? Mark: Since it's pretty easy* to download a Word/open office/whatever file from a Google doc anyway, I don't really see why that shouldn't work--objections, anyone? * Also, I say this as someone who doesn't use Google docs much myself, so if I'm somehow mistaken about this and you'd really rather just download a Word attachment than shed three drops of blood and dance in a circle under the light of the waxing moon, or whatever else Google docs requires people to do that I don't know about before they can access Docs files, uhh, correct me and I'll revise my answer accordingly. Since you mention Google docs, and since it hasn't really garnered much of a response so far, I should also point out that there's been some recent discussion about switching submission methods to Google drive. A basic description of how that would work and the benefits are described in the thread I just linked. As far as I know the "test" Drive folder (see what I did there) is already up and running--though EndurantArchivist, who took the initiative to set it up, may correct me on this one--I've asked the people interested in exploring it or who already know they'd prefer submissions in that format to treat it as an "extra" for now, since I don't want to implement any changes to submission style without more feedback from other RE members. tl,dr; Yes, that's proably fine, and also, check out this thread. 1
Mark Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Thanks Silk. And yes, it is quite easy to download the google doc as any file you want. And I checked out the thread and damnation, EndurantArchivist sure planned it out well. It looks like a really good system, I'd happily use it, though obviously not as a complete substitute for the current system. Thanks for pointing it out to me.
Ash he/him Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 np SIlk Just say the word if I need to be bumped
Robinski he/him Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 np SIlk Just say the word if I need to be bumped Nah, I'll take a dive for the team, if necessary - I've submitted a fair bit recently.
molah Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Maybe it's early, but I'd like to sign up for next week as well. I'd like to submit the second part of my short story as close to the first part as possible. (There's not going to come anything after that from me for a while anyway...)
Silk she/her Posted October 6, 2014 Author Posted October 6, 2014 Shouldn't be a problem, Molah. Also, sorry for the delay, guys, but Ash and Robinski, I meant to check in on this thread last night and tell you to go ahead.
Robinski he/him Posted October 6, 2014 Posted October 6, 2014 Hem, we just assumed everything would be fine and went ahead anyway - we're a pretty devil-may-care bunch! 1
Silk she/her Posted October 7, 2014 Author Posted October 7, 2014 Huh. I guess I wasn't paying as much attention as I thought I was. Serves me right for trying to be productive before 8am...
Dysphoric Kitten she/her Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Really? Interesting... most of my writing sessions are between 10pm (if I am really early) and 4am. And I review stories during these hours as well. Much more productive, at least for me.
Silk she/her Posted October 7, 2014 Author Posted October 7, 2014 The very thought of trying to be productive between 10pm and 4am induces post-traumatic flashbacks to my graduate school days. 1
Robinski he/him Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Hey Tal, when do you sleep?! The only thing I produce from 11pm to 6am is Z's.
CommandanteLemming he/him Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 (edited) Tal does not sleep. Tal is immortal, all knowing, evolved beyond our primitive state of consciousness. Our concept of sleep is meaningless to him. Tal is... *Lemming run over by rampaging minotaur before completing thought* Edited October 7, 2014 by CommandanteLemming 1
CommandanteLemming he/him Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I'll just flag now that I have something for Monday. I have new "Haruwin" material :-)
Mark Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I also have another submission for Monday. I hope it's okay, I know I submitted last week and he week before too.
Silk she/her Posted October 11, 2014 Author Posted October 11, 2014 Commandante Lemming and Mark so far for Monday. Mark, it probably won't be a problem unless there's a lot of interest between now and then--just keep an eye on this thread in case I do need to ask anyone to delay.
Silk she/her Posted October 11, 2014 Author Posted October 11, 2014 Oh, I apologize! That's why I always repeat this stuff, so people can call me out when I miss something. Commandante Lemming, Mark, and Molah so far.
Mark Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 I have another submission for next Monday, unless there are five others submitting in which case I'm fine with taking a break of a week.
CommandanteLemming he/him Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 I'm in the same boat as Mark - I've got stuff I can send but only if theres room. I've been submitting a lot so I don't want to bore people or turn them off with something labelled "Chapter 6" or whatever. Granted I've also got a short story lying around so I could send that for filler. Either way - put me down as "filler if, and only if, there's room".
Silk she/her Posted October 17, 2014 Author Posted October 17, 2014 You two are the first to ask so far, so unless there's a huge outpouring of interest between now and Monday you'll likely both be good to go.
