Lol a week is nothing though compared to... Well,  years.

Hahaha the release date's changed again (late January).

Lautrela you were right, there was no reason to panic at all.

You all must be right, they must be busy. Or needed extra rest because they've been very busy before their hols.

A music teacher who's never heard you play? All the more reason to show them that you can. If you feel the need to practise if only to reassure yourself,  go to your basement. No shame in that

Don't forget to have a look (and a listen) at the video that inspired it ;)

I'm sorry to hear that you've been feeling guilty Yitzock.
I'm sure your teacher only wanted to encourage you to leave your comfort zone,  most likely because he's seen that you've got potential. Why not talk to him if you can? Maybe he can help you make the decision and anyway teachers are here to help and guide their students - and working through having more self confidence usually requires a guide.
Keep us posted, will you?

As for me I'm wondering whether I've made a mistake: I've shared a fic of mine (the tamest one,  Come Hell or High Water) to a colleague/teacher/friend and they have not said anything since then (we communicate via emails,  usually once a week).
And now I'm ranting because a)I'm pining for an answer b)I'm not 16 anymore to react like that (worrying) and c)where the frick are these bleeding emotions coming from?!

I don't know if they would.
Maybe it's amazon not getting its dates right. Wouldn't be the first time.
But yeah, you should pre order.

Upset after TAB... so was I, I have been absent from the forum way too much. Now it feels hard to come back on a regular basis.

No reason at all...

I feel good. Got ideas and an almost-complete plot -the approaching holidays will give me time to perfect it.
About the no set deadline, I think that's a good idea, especially for people who are terrible at having -and respecting- a deadline with or without mitigating circumstances (yeah, me. Hides in shame.).

I love my prompt, I've got tons of ideas there, I'm going to have so much fun!!

Hey Schmiezi I think that you should send the prompts today indeed, but do not 'penalise' them later when the fics will be handed out: if they start later, it would only be fair that they have the same amount of time to do and send them out.

Yes, I am being selfish by asking you to send the prompts today, but it's also mainly because I know that I struggled last time to hand in mine in time and I'd rather not have a repeat of that.
