I'm working on it, but I'm a bit stuck on a certain scene. I'll get it done, though.

When stuck on a scene I find the best course of action is to violently murder the protagonist with the assistance of rage-fueled platypuses. Then, proceed accordingly.

Alright... Six scenes to go, four days to go... If I write two scenes per day, then I can use the last day to read through the entry additional times and such... hahaha...

If your story ends up being about a space garbage man with a cat...

It's not, I swear. I mean, the 'cowboy' angle might be a little hard to read. I just *did not* have time to flesh out the setting.... so it's gonna be hyper-confusing hard scifi. My real-life obligations really sabotaged the contextual detail.

Speaking as one of the few hard-sci-fi experts here on the guild, I will now be sure to include critique on the scientific aspects of your story, if the other judge does not select it.

Good thing you mentioned that, huh?

@Terminal but we all know that if the other judge selects the story and does NOT harp on the sciency bits you're going to throw them out for lack of attention to detail.

I guess that judge is just going to have to take a crash course in everythingβ„’ then, in time for the reviews.

... I have a day left. Can I perhaps whip something out?

... Maybe, if I quit writing fanfiction.

Technically speaking you only have 17 hours and 34 minutes.

@Terminal... Aaand that's supposed to make me feel better?

Edit: And before you say it, yes, I know, the dramatic ellipses are killer.

I must say, writing this entry has been... an experience. Because of what I've now written, rather than just looked at it as a entry to a contest online, I've compared it to the world at large, to the books of established authors and the guides on the net for actually writing one's first book. ... Of course, with predictable results. But it does give me an impression of where I am, and what would be needed of me. Heh.

Of course, I don't even dare to look at my entry for a little while. I think I'll wait until the review is done. Yeah. Until then, I'll stay clear from reading it. Hahahaha...

Today, we came very close to a new first for the Twelve Labours.

ALMOST everybody remembered to tell me I could include their names with their entries! Only ONE omission this time. So close.

Oh, we also we broke the character limit twice.

This blows my mind.

I'll be starting my read-through a little later, but based on character count it'll probably take a while!
