    I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I have to drop out. The reason is because most of my story ideas for the themes are based around events that haven't happened yet in my main story. So, it's like trying to write a spin-off to a story that hasn't even started yet. 

    I don't know, I was feeling pumped up for it, but after a lot of brainstorming, I just can't come up with an idea without involving huge spoilers or confusions.

    *sighs* Better focus on my main story then.

    Yeah, for my story, I have to do backwards writing, so lol, Albee is in like three different time periods at once sometimes. Makes it really hard. Sorry to see you go. Who knows? You may be inpired later. 

    Okay, peeps, when my headache clears, I will update the thread with the awesome contributions and check tags. :D

    At first I was like, "maybe." Then I had an idea and thought, "I'm not sure if it's really a 2,000 word story." Then I spent the last 10 hours writing 5,500 words for prompt #1. So. I guess I'm in.

    Say I were to do a chaptered story -- does it all need to be posted by the 30th to count, or just the first chapter?

    From previous experience it all has to be posted by the 30th to count for AMOSS

    If I remember correctly, Sotek´s short story for example has never been actually finished but it counted for the AMOSS anyway. If you post a chapter/part during the Event which will fit one of the Themes I think it will get featured. But that decision is ultimately on Lis.

    I might be able to join in this. I have one short story in mind, so I'll pick either the first theme or the third. Haven't yet decided. It shall be story of another Dunmer, not Ciel'nn this time. ^_^

    Hmmm. Okay. I'll probably just pull my story from amoss in that case. I'd rather take my time and do it right than rush it out.
