Seven-Day Seven-K

Keep in mind that you don't have to follow the prompt, it's just a suggestion. I certainly didn't have fire in mind when I wrote my entry for the first week, although I did end up putting fire in one part.

If you do want to follow it, keep in mind the different definitions. There's boiling as in a liquid changing to a gas state, boiling as an "boiling with anger," boils as in the nasty skin inflammation, boiling as in a way to prepare food, the food itself after being boiled, and so on.

As for this prompt, you're a girl after my own heart, aren't you Val? I could have so much fun with "boil" but unfortunately I'm still not ready to enter again.

Can I use an idea that I've already started before if I write from scratch?

So long as not a word of it has been written before this week, go for it.

I might have to sit this one out, my mental state hasn't been the best, and well, the prompt boil has me in a deadlock.

Shrike's on the money here. The prompt is really more for those of us who have complete writer's block and/or want to play this game like it was the FFC we used to have around here. Shortly put, the prompt is actually optional; it's not at all required to follow it. In fact, if you're working with another prompt set (like from an LJ challenge comm) and would rather run through a week or two with it instead, by all means, go for it.

But yeah, don't be intimidated by the fact that the prompt for this week is "boil." It's just there for the ones who would otherwise write about zombie love... atop a cherry sundae dripping with melancholy chocolate. Because anything to get to that seven-thousand mark helps. (So does, if anyone's curious, slight carbon monoxide poisoning.)

♥ Alas, someone else has dibs on half of my bed, if you know what I mean.

If I decide to write a script, do I write 3 pages a day, or 1000 words a day?

Daily word counts are completely up to the writer, regardless of the style they're using, so long as the total equals at least seven thousand words.

Also, as another heads up (which you probably already know about, but I'm just restating for the sake of doing my duty to discourage people from enticing Asty to go on a bloody rampage through the forum), remember to read the forum rules concerning scripts.

I don't think it's well written, but it's more than dialog.

It's just that Script Frenzy is 100 pages instead of 50k words. That's all.

Yeah, it is, but I figured it'd just be simpler to keep the rules down to pretty much a word count. Alternatively, I could go with keeping it prose (short stories or chaptered fics) only, but I'd like to see how you do with writing a script for it first before deciding.

Well, I work at a snail's pace, so I'm not going to be accurate. xD

Ima sit this one out... I got no ideas, Im just gonna get an idea for next time.

Currently sitting at 3185 words after one days' work. Sitting down to write some more now. The further ahead of this I am, the happier I'll be! The prompt will feature, but you'll have to read carefully in order to get it!

I'm down to 712 words. This really sin't so hard. I worked all day so I couldn't really start writing until late though..

Is that 712 done, or 712 left? ^_^ i is confoosed.

EDIT: Done, and posted here! Fun fun fun.

Aaaaand time! Congrats to Sparkling Dragon for this week. Sorry to Dutchesse, but your fic fell roughly 1000 words short before the deadline. It's still good, though, and if you'd like to finish it, go for it.

Also, the new prompt is up on time this week. I decided to be cheesy.

Not if you're braindead from repeated blunt trauma to the head, sweetheart. Am I going to have to clean up someone else's blood and brains on those lovely desks again?

It's alright. I'm actually in bed right now, so headdesking doesn't hurt as much as it normally would.

Tribute, eh? Well. Umm. Aha! Oh wait, no, I started writing that already...

Ah well. I'm still joining this week, I think.

Regrettably, I'm afraid I cannot have as much fun as I thought I would be able to with this wonderful prompt. I've just realised I have two chaptered fics on the go! I'll have to wait.

This is totally not my excuse for why I haven't participated in my own writing challenge for the first three rounds.

Which is to say, totally okay. Wilt thou be participating in future rounds?

Absolutely. It's just that these next couple of weeks, I have holidays, so I'm gonna do as much chapter-writing as I can. After that, I'm slowing down to one chapter a week due to school. I should be able to do a 7K fic and a 3K chapter in one week, easy. All 7day entries will now be tie-ins to Shattered or Spliced, mostly Shattered. So don't worry, I'm still in.

As a reminder to everyone, the 7 Day, 7 K challenge begins today. Get crackin'!

I might actually participate this week. But then again, I say that every week and fail miserably. But I have ideas this time!
