    Are people still able to sign up to this or have I missed the cut-off point?

    Not too late.

    Give me a number between 15 and 30 that isn't 23 or 24, and I'll assign you a prompt and send it to you in a PM.

    The closing date for the submission of the stories by PM to me is midnight end of the day on the 15th.

    Which is a Monday, because I goofed and said 15th instead of 14th.

    How are people getting on? I have good story finished (first draft anyway), but I'm well under 2200 words.

    I'm wary about adding unnecessary bloat just to reach a target.

    I'll leave it alone for 5 days and revisit next week.

    I'm about halfway through but I'm not sure where to go next with it. I like the story though, which is something.

    Started, laid out plot and then my computer died a miserable death. I will have trouble now. BUT I will try to get it done.

    I thought the 2,200 words was a limit, not a target.

    Not going to lie, haven't started. I had a huge college project due today, but clear enough schedule up until next week. I'll be getting stuck in tomorrow. :)

    How much would it cost me to buy another 100 words onto the limit?

    If I fail to make the deadline (looking more and more likely) please forgive me, I do want to take part, but things are getting a tad fraught here.

    I have done nothing, and depending on how some other projects go, I may have to withdraw. We'll see.

    I have to be honest, I'm feeling the burn. I have c.2,000, but I'm just not happy with it. I don't want to start again, as much as I feel it is needed.

    Will try my best to polish it up for tomorrow!
