That's 11 more than me, TEIN. Normally ideas for the challenges are popping into my head all the time but this month has been particularly difficult.

Ursa major · 23rd October 2011, 04:19 PM

Perhaps the euphoria engendered by today's result will spark your muse, mosaix.

I haven't even got that going for me, but I'm determined to post something. (What, though?)

EDIT: And to answer that: not much, but it'll have to do.

The Judge · 23rd October 2011, 06:10 PM

Well, I've given up faffing around with my entry, since nothing's going to help it now.

As for the 300 worder... it's just as well I've still got a week to think about it.

Karn Maeshalanadae · 23rd October 2011, 06:30 PM

Good thing you did get in, Yer Honor....only about seven and a half hours or so left.

I see Hoopy made a 300, but nothing in the 75 by her yet....

HoopyFrood · 23rd October 2011, 06:50 PM

The 300 was a lingering idea that came back to me earlier and demanded to be written.

The 75-worder, I got diddly squat.

Karn Maeshalanadae · 23rd October 2011, 06:59 PM

Aww, and I was hoping for some zombies this month, H-girl.

Zombies! *Slams a tankard down on the table* Maybe they're the ones with the nightmare of reawakening from the dead?

HoopyFrood · 23rd October 2011, 07:01 PM

Dear me, already type-cast!

I prefer writing more subtle, ghostly horror.

TheDustyZebra · 23rd October 2011, 07:08 PM

Well, Hoopy, I've got three extra stories if you need one -- but they all stink, and there weren't even any zombies in any of them, either!

Karn Maeshalanadae · 23rd October 2011, 07:42 PM

Ghosties then?

Just a thought? No?

Hmm....I'm not about to give anyone a bonk on the bean to get their brain booted....

nixie · 23rd October 2011, 08:12 PM

You could have my original idea, running out of tea bags. Don't look like that it was just a thought.

HoopyFrood · 23rd October 2011, 08:17 PM

I think I used up any dregs of creativity on the 300. And that was an idea I had a while back, too. I don't write much these days.

Karn Maeshalanadae · 23rd October 2011, 08:23 PM

Now, now, Hoopy, don't go all Bartleby on us...

Snap out of it Dragon.

That's a serious nightmare in my book! It just doesn't get any worse than that.

Teresa Edgerton · 24th October 2011, 12:27 AM

I wrote up something at the last minute, just so I could contribute something this month. No time to put it aside, come back later and decide whether it's any good or not. It's there.

And a reminder to anyone else who has delayed: there is just about half an hour to go.
