Round 14 Support Thread!

[verloren1983.livejournal.com]

Hello, fellow Hikago fans! As you've probably seen, sign ups (DW and LJ) for round 14 of blind_go have arrived, and you guys know what that means: lots and lots of flailing, starting now! For anyone new to our challenge here, this is the place we come to chat, flail, cry, procrastinate, plot, ask and answer questions, and support each other. ❤

Anonymouse is encouraged for writers, especially if there could be clues to your fic, but obviously isn't required, and comments will be screened during the guessing period just in case. Participants also often use their blind_go ID's once they get them, which adds a fun twist to things and you're certainly welcome to do that as well. ^_~

Writers: Complaints about lack of progress, procrastinating, requests for ideas, and more are all awesome.

Readers: You guys are more than welcome to participate too! Leave your reassurances, fanfic ideas, and helpful random spam here.

Go go Hikago! \o/

Edit: Comments should hopefully be unscreened now for posterity. If they're not, poke at me and I'll take are of it. :D

I have the same problem. Well, I'm pretty sure I'll get this finished, but I'm equally sure it won't fit into 8000 words. The word count atm is 6396 and there's still quite a lot left...

Can always make it a multi-parter, as long as you can find a place to split it?

That sounds like a pretty good idea... I think it could be logically divided into three parts. Is this allowed?

You might want to double-check that with a BG mod privately first, but seeing as people have done it before, I doubt it'll be a problem. :D Worst case scenario, you can split it, send in the first part with a TBC label, and put the full fic up on the platform of your choice later. Just remember that they will count as three separate fics, so if you were planning on submitting anything else, that limits you to two additional fics, since there's a max of five submissions this time.

I was actually thinking about that TBC solution, but luckily it seems I don't have to do it that way. And as I don't atm moment have any other fic ideas, everything's fine. (...is that the sound of rapid plotbunnies closing in on me, now that I went and said that aloud...?)

yeah, it's fine, especially as you say they are logical divisions... (ie, like lord of the rings is three books but you really can't say that the fellowship of the ring is "self-contained"...) that's completely fine.

the last thing we wanna do is discourage people from producing a lot and submitting, so...!!!
