I've already started writing mine. Does that make me the first one? Not that I know exactly what direction it is heading at the moment, but it still has a start.  ;D

LoL, I thought I would quote my own post and say that I randomly just figured out what direction I'm taking. Yay me! ;D

All the people who whined and complained I wasn't doing a challenge this month...we're halfway through and I am only still seeing three stories.

I remember someone specifically saying the word....lame.. . *ahem*

hahaha! I haven't forgotten! Don't worry! I know how much time I have. But if it helps, I've been working on Fan Friction instead...

and besides I came up with an idea and started it but then realized that Kevin was going to end up being the bad guy so I had to start over. So I have been thinking about it. My biggest challenge seems to be the "WTF" at the end... I have an idea, but I don't have it completely worked out yet.

aww, did you even read the last update? I'm almost done with the next one too. I didn't pull it out for four months and now here I am one scene away from updating twice this month.


But, I will put Mersey's death on hold and work on the challenge so that you can have another short.   :P

lol my problem is, I have a really good idea for a story, that fits all criteria except that well, I don't know if I would really call it a horror/suspense. So I'm trying to work out another idea that is definitely horror/suspense, but I don't have all the details worked out yet. Maybe I should just write them both and let you decide if the first one classifies.

Or you can give some more details. I mean as long as there is an element of danger or darkness I would think that would classify?

hmm.... well there is an element of uncertainty. And "implied" danger...  I dunno. Maybe I'll figure out the second idea and still write both. What could it hurt, right? The more stories the merrier. And I do love the supernatural genre.

Yay! I just posted my response to the challenge and I only broke one rule this time! I broke the word count by 1,428 words, which is a far better cry then my word count for the December challenge! ;D
