Oh, that's great Karen! Nah, I don't think my own personality would fit (Imagine Nick coming in a class full with pretty secretary-to-be girls hehee).

Heh, Pengi, I'm pumped too now! :D

Too bad my mom is glaring at me 'cause I gotta go to bed. Man, I've got so many ideas I hope I can sleep LOL!

I'm glad you're super excited. I'm hoping that it continues for everybody. I know I gave several months and I'm a bit worried people might forget :(

I just finished the intro! ;D

I'll see if I can make a decent banner with Paint LOL. I recently installed Paint Shop Pro 8 but haven't had the time to figure out how it works. I'm not even sure if I'll even get it. :D

I'm gonna love writing this especially 'cause the location will be my homecountry: The Netherlands! And as far as I know there hasn't been a fanfic here where that has been the main location. ;D

I've written a prologue and 3 chapters. My God, this is so much fun to write. :D

Maybe I should participate in challenges more often, it motivates me to write. So I'll stay motivated for my own fanfics too. ;D

This challenge doesn't have a limit on how long or short it has to be. That is all completely up to the author to decide. The only catch is that it has to be done by the end of the year.

Challenges help motivate me as well. I'm glad you're enjoying this challenge.

Yeah I know. I was just curious what people would consider a short story. I've only done 2 stories before and they were one chapter challenges. This one will be longer but I was just wondering. It's not going to be that long anyway.

If you wanted to be super technical a short story, by definition, is usually no longer than 9,000 words and focuses on a single plot line. Anything 10,000 - 50,000 words would be considered a novella, and anything above 50,000 is a novel. Random factoids! lol
