-Jade- Posted August 4, 2006 Report Posted August 4, 2006 Seven is great, but don't feel you have to write seven because it won't make your writing better in the end! If you can only do one sin then only do one sin, but do it well! Make a real effort and go through it and your entry will still be brilliant!

If you can only do one sin then only do one sin, but do it well! Make a real effort and go through it and your entry will still be brilliant! Ok, can i just do one but i don't know whether i can reach 7000 words. Shall i just do as many words as i can and send it in or does it have to be 7000 words.
-Jade- Posted August 4, 2006 Report Posted August 4, 2006 Don't stress about word limits because there is no minimum! Ideally it would be great if you could do at least 1000 words, but seriously don't worry about it! 7000 is only the maximum, you could do 2000 words and it'd still be fine!
aejdude Posted August 4, 2006 Report Posted August 4, 2006 Ok, i have done over 1000 words just need to finish it off.
-Annie- Posted August 4, 2006 Report Posted August 4, 2006 Hey, what's with the ganging up on me here?? *Giggles* I'm sorry! I can't wait to read everyone's story!
-Jade- Posted August 6, 2006 Report Posted August 6, 2006 IMPORTANT NOTICE - Dealine moved to 10th August! Right, I'm already receiving some of the entries and there's definitely some strong fics here. In an unfortunate turn of events, I have found out that I'm going on holiday from the 14th and since I need to allow time for voting (so that I can post the results), I'm moving the dealine to the 10th August. Then voting will occur between the 11th of august and up to 3:00pm on the 13th of August, with the winner being announced later that day(13th). I didn't think this would be a problem because most people who are entering seem to have started and there's been plenty of time to write. Furthermore, even people who are not finished should be able to finish because there is still 4 days to complete your fics! If anyone has a problem with this please PM me and hopefully we can work something out. I'm still working on this and I'm not sure it will go ahead but I was thinking of setting up a poll to vote, so that people can vote anonymously. What would be great is if people voted using the poll but still posted their opinions and advice to the authors. What are everyone's thoughts on that??

Go ahead, but yeah like you said they need to give opinions can't just say "i like that one".
sevenpuddings Posted August 6, 2006 Report Posted August 6, 2006 I'm just worried about one thing with the polls. That no one will give reviews, and then no one will know how they could improve their stories, or why people loved their stories. But it could still work. I'd say more people would vote that way
-Jade- Posted August 6, 2006 Report Posted August 6, 2006 Yes, that was my problem with it as well... i'm really not sure, because I feel it's important for people to get proper reviews.
sevenpuddings Posted August 6, 2006 Report Posted August 6, 2006 I'm sure people will I know I will be reviewing all the stories, because I like people to know what I liked in their stories or how I believe they might be able to improve. But, having said that, having a poll will mean more people will vote, therefore more votes will come (duh Jess... derr). So I say go with it, and hopefully everyone will review all the same!
