Yo, Deddie ( I simply MUST think up a better nickname for dedicatedfollowerofnothing) ~
Jeremus is right. You go ahead and write and post one of your ideas. It could be a Wolvie/Nighty buddy movie. As long as there's plenty of Kurt, it should fill the bill.

Mine, as you can see, is very thought-oriented and mos def alternate reality. If you write it as you think it, we will put the moving pictures in ourselves, so pretend you are doing a "treatment" for a movie script.

C'mon, give it a whirl.

Egad! 10 days left. I'd better scuttle through the rest of my story and put it up, warts and all. I posted a tad today and caught up with BlueVelvet's entry ... wonder what happens to ol' Fuzzy in church? And as far as we know, he, Woverine, and Kitty are still on that island in Def's fic ... and Rowena oughta join us even if she doesn't want to be voted on.

tick, tock, tick, tock

*sidles in, blushing* Um, maybe til the end of the week? Or Monday? I have a lot written but it needs de-bugging, and, erm, I didn't jump in til the end of summer on this and, well, life is kinda keeping me busy and, er, .... you know.

I realize the others have been good little girls and finished, but ... mercy???

And then maybe Jeremus can hop in with a zippy entry.

Hi!

OK. I understand about the de-bugging and everything. If you need until Monday to get everything done, you've got it.

The new challenge deadline will be Monday, Sept. 21. All challenge entries should be up by then. On Sept. 22, the poll will open, and the voting can begin!!!

Best of luck everyone!!! :D

I say: CHEAT! Use the edit button. I had to do it because of being rushed too (my fault for not entering til it was almost over). But to me, it's not cheating really if it's done before the deadline. I could be wrong.

And you'll be tweaking it anyway since you might put it up at ff, so ... go for it. All weekend ....

Hey, I just titled the story I wrote for this...

it's "Trust."

Totally forgot to give it a title until just now. :doh! But that's okay, because I'm still before the extended deadline. Right?

I had fun with it even though I wrote way too much! I'd been meaning to flesh out some of Kur'ts backstory for my as-yet-un-numbered-timeline and this gave me the excuse to do it. Yeah, I feel guilty that I didn't spend the time working on contest entries for money, but the time was *not* wasted because I learned a lot about stitching pieces of plot together. (mainly what to avoid doing, ha ha) I may not be near a computer when the results come out, so if I don't make a fawning congratulatory post to the winner, it's nothing personal. :D

Thanks for a fun challenge, Rowena, and thanks to all the noobs who joined in and put their efforts forward. I suggest they go back in this FV&TTT forum and read some of the completed fiction (including Challenges) that was here quite a bit before my time (I'm a relative newbie, less than 2 years I think) -- much of it would make great Kurt movies and is really well written.

One other thing - there is a huge disparity in the entries regarding length. Mine might be too long for people to plough through, whereas some folks might not like short ficlets. So to me, everyone has a chance because tastes are different. And if not many votes are cast, well, this is a pretty busy time of year for everyone, so don't be discouraged. Be proud that you took the leap and posted your work for others to enjoy.
