    Can anyone say if they'll be online at 8?

    4 stories in, 5th one just kicked off. Anyone feel like they're doing the leaving cert? :D

    I'll be online from 8pm until the 11pm deadline, so I'll be happy to forward the outline to anyone who wants it.

    I did it on purpose 'cause you called me a girl. :P

    I'm off home, should be back online sporadically this evening.

    The Mad Hatter and Mr E have offered to relay the theme but remember to PM your story to me regardless of who you get it from!

    I guess we'll have to take your word for it :P

    If anyone genuinely missed their slot because of the site issues, we'll try make up for it.

    I wasn't able to send it to Antilles as scheduled, and I won't be back online until around 11pm.

    Pickarooney: I was talking to Antilles on Twitter. He said he'd email me his story if boards wasn't back up. The result:

    Antilles started writing at 20:35.

    Should you need me to, I can send you a screencap of my sent mail folder, to show that's when he started.

    No worries, I PM'd it to pickarooney on time :) (may be a minute or two late because I had to log into boards again)

    I know you said that with tongue in cheek, pickarooney, but I genuinely finished in an hour. I don't want people to think I had an unfair advantage just because of site issues.

    And a suitably rushed piece of doggrel was sent to Pickarooney at 23:12...

    (we get extra marks for bad spelling and punctuation, right?)


    edit - excuse my bad manners; a big thank you to MrE for the outline. Zombie killer rabbit clowns is a strange scenario, kudos to whoever thought of that :)

    22:11 by my inbox :p

    Got it in to Pickarooney on the dot of 23:10 (again by my inbox) so phew!

    No actual idea what I wrote though - must go back and read it now!

    Thanks to Mr. E for the outline, and best of luck to everyone. :)
