I figured that was why it was taking you so long. lol

If we were sitting in the same room and had the DVDs, I'm sure it would be relatively easy. lol

People think it would be fun to be a bird because you could fly. But they forget the negative side, which is the preening.

okay just so you know i'm only page 2 right now so if you're wondering wtf is she talking about? i'm way back there, when you all were still on topic lol

The endings thing. I think happy endings and or sad endings are fine as long as they fit with what you have written. what I hate are stories that you can tell the writer just wanted to shock you so at the last minute throws a random death in or a random wedding or something lol no explainations just does it. To me it's just abrupt and silly.

*i'll shrug for Lore* lol

LOL a perfect example of this is Me and Mare. I respect the hell out of her writing and am always thinking I need to read her stuff cause I would probably really like it, but then I read the summaries and I'm like.... mmmm.... there are others that sound more interesting to me. She's the same way with me I think. (or at least I hope lol) I think she'd be back in the suicide thread if she had to read some of my stuff. But that doesn't mean what I write is bad, just not her thing.

LOL yes, and I have figured out that my summaries need work after reading score sheets. I get what you're saying though. I think it would be interesting and another good challenge idea if at some point I put a vague plot and everyone had to write a story based around it. I could see al of us coming up with different things while having to work off the same idea just based on our writing styles.

Score sheets from judging of the awards? That reminds me. Could we as nominated authors request to see our score sheet? I think it would be good for constructive critisicm. I wouldn't mind seeing mine so I can see what my strengths and weaknesses are.

ooh I was gonna ask that too. I'd love to see them.(at least mine) It's probably great constructive criticism.

People think it would be fun to be a bird because you could fly. But they forget the negative side, which is the preening.

Do people really add weddings in for shock value? That almost seems comical. lol
