So...I missed the last two because the email notifications weren't coming in for me.
I got the email about submitting the prompt. So this gives me hope that the email will come through and tell me that its time to start writing :D

The prompt submission e-mail:
Is the only notification we get 'cause everything else follows like clockwork. The twenty-four hours after the e-mail goes out are for prompt submission. The next twenty-four hours are for voting on the prompts, and the instant after that, the prompt is announced and we can start writing. So stand by for adventure!

Oh look! There are new little up/down buttons next to the thread page button! That’s a big help on mobile. ^^
Ah, dang it. This year, the stars just aren't aligning for me Writeoffing. :( Since August, exactly two conventions have been on my plate: the weekend of the OF short-story writing period three weeks ago; and this upcoming weekend.
So I guess I'm out again. Maybe it's a blessing in disguise: I can try to use that for project time.

I’m going to call it now: I’m out for this one. :-/ I really am trying to get a novel-length story out on FF, and RL is threatening to catch up on me for all the time I’ve already sunk into that.
“Is Anyone There?”
“I Thought You Already Knew.”
“So What You’re Saying Is…”
“Gobble Gobble. Reply to All!”
“Feed Me With Your Heart.”
“Is It Just Me, or Has It Gotten Even Bigger?”
“Crossing the Border To Stand Against the Stars?”
“Sunburned. Hollow Blessings.”
“Phobia: Submerged Under the Pier, Stone Masquerade…”
“Nightmare After Nightmare Night - Betcha Can’t Have Just One!”
“Michael Meijers’ Wild West Adventures?”
“It Ain’t Bragging If It’s True. A Wholesome Time, Barrel of Fun. Four-Hoofed Tales of Adventure!”
“Startling Reflection Over The River: Final Resting Place?”
“Oh, the Places You’ll Go!”

I'll probably be in for this one (she said, thirty minutes before the prompt reveal).
As before, I'll try not to speak except for reviews and retro, so I may not respond to posts. PM me on Fimfiction if you need to chat.

For the record, I have a story I've been working on that perfectly matches the prompt but I don't like what I've done with it. So I'm going to rewrite it from scratch (with a different angle), since I've been informed previously this is acceptable, but I wanted to be clear about my intentions to be safe.
This will be the third time I've tried to start writing this story. Whee. :facehoof:

Well, I wasn't expecting a Nightmare Night prompt in November, but I'll see if I can make it work.
I have a critique tonight, so Friday's down. Let's see if I can write something over the weekend.
Unless I'm struck by some kind of miracle it looks like I'm not in this round either.
Good luck everyone!
Good luck everyone!

as you seem to know things...
my story lies somewhere between a Teen and a Mature Rating. Is that okay?
I haven't seen anything to indicate otherwise...

Under the "Rules" button:
At the top of the page, it says, "Submitted works may not contain depictions of sexual acts or grotesque content." When I had a question about a scene in one of my earlier stories, I e-mailed it to Roger--his address is at the bottom of te page under "Email me"--and asked him if it was OK.

Sorry, I'm out. Struggling with the old opiate addiction this weekend makes my concentration nonexistent.
On the bright side, I did restart the story a third time, and I might take it to the finish line finally. It's just not on the front burner.

welp....my story doesn't follow the rules.
I tried fixing it a bit to follow the rules, but to do so ruins the whole experience.
It requires it's mature rating.
Dunno if I have time to come up with another story before times up.

You may wish to show it to Roger in PM to get his opinion of whether it’s in violation.
[edit] Sorry, I guess you did that already.

nah. I didn't show it to him but I know it doesn't fall into the TEEN rating range.
It's okay.
I can still post it up to my FiM Fic account.

Just popping in again to wish everyone well with their last-minute rush to the finish. ^^
I made a token effort this afternoon at putting an idea together, but I just don't have the follow-through this time. Though did I mention that I'm in the midst of releasing a novel?! That's what's sucking up all muh follow-through. :-p
Next time, Gadget!

Ha! It's friggin in!
TBH, I procrastinated like hell and wrote nothing all Friday and Saturday. So this is probably rushed as hell. But, it's better than nothing, I guess!

I just realized that the submission page has a countdown clock on it.
And that I have 5 hours left...
*Goes to throw 2000 words together*
It'll be TEEN this time.

I think I’m copping out of the art round this time guys. :( I hope to read a story if I have the time. Sorry!
Hey, folks — just a reminder that I've created a folder in the Writeoff Association FIMFiction group for this round's stories. Add it there if you publish to FIMFic — and, as usual, DON'T DO SO WHILE YOU'RE STILL ANONYMOUS HERE.
Posting to the FIMFic group requires "Contributor" permissions as an anti-spam measure, but everyone who has ever submitted a Writeoff story should be a "Contributor" to the group. PM me on FIMFic, or reply to me here, if that's not the case.
