Monday Madness: Original Fic - Challenge results!

Hi original fic writers! Remember this post from last month? Yep, it's time to wind up the challenge fic from last month (or if it's an ongoing fic, decide what excerpt you're going to share), and show us what you got!



If you're like I usually am, you may not be finished yet, but hopefully you're well on the way to meeting the goal you set for yourself. I'm leaving things open for you to link or post in a comment to this entry before the end of June - by all means post in your own journal or wherever else you normally post your original stories (if you do); just link us back there! If you don't usually post or haven't yet, feel free to post in the comm and link to this entry.

Rewards are on offer for any of you who made it. Number off! ;-)

Hey - no worries, it's not going anywhere. LOL Thank you so much though. It was an interesting experience - going back and looking at older fics with these two to 'fact check' I discovered just how much my writing has matured over the last ten years, so that's an amazing thing on its own.

Aw, no reward needed - add those 100 words to your own wip! :)

Thank you so much! And you're the second person to comment on the aging thing, so that's interesting. My birthday was weighting heavily on my mind while I was writing this, I guess! LOLOL (Those big numbers ending in '0' tend to get you)

w00t! Go you! Ah, well, sorry they weren't on the original fic, but words are words and they always seem to move us in the direction we need to be going.
