Member update

Since we're talking about making changes (letting people 'cash in' their weeks just by saying so without having to stop), I thought I would give everyone an update on where we all stood.  Oh, and welcome to our three newest members: dangerous_47, persephone_20 and asharia

SQUEE! I'm one of 8 that's only five weeks away! *does happy gleeful dance* Almost there...

Then, of course, I'm starting over again. I hope you know that. ^_____________^ I'm one of the insane types who wants 'em all. The type you outlined in the award summary in the way beginning that made you say "Oy." *giggles*

Thanks, that is helpful. It looks like I have seven more weeks to go for the goddess level then, since I have done this week's prompt early (thank God.)

I was just thinking about how great a statistics list would be and LO, it is provided!

Thank you!!!

Questions from the Uninitiated

I really wasn't sure where to post this...so I hope I'm not breaking any rules, but I have a *lot* of questions I wanted to get straight before I tried to join you all on your fic quest. ;)

Ok, I guess the first question I have to ask is if you accept Real Person Fic. I write in the NASCAR genre and before I even try to post here I wanted to know if that was acceptable. I'm not just a fangirl writer however and if you'd like a sample of my work you can find it here:

Cat's Fic (http://www.cryptoffic.com/catw00man.html)

My next question is concerning the prompts themselves. Do these need to appear quoted in the fic or is it the feeling of the piece that needs to meet the prompt.

Also I saw that you allow WIPs and have a 500 word minimum. One of the reasons I'm interested in this community is that I have a ton of unfinished series that I'd like to get myself going on again. The only problem is fics for me average over 5000 words (usually much more) and that's not something I could crank out on a weekly basis...at least not right now. So, I guess my question, since I've never written with chapters, how does this work? How do you break up your fics? I mean does it have to be an entire fic with a complete scene or can you break a scene if it runs too long?

Sorry for all the questions. I apologize if these are answered somewhere and I missed it.

Thanks so much.

Hi. :D

Glad to be here. Heh.
