Re: Secret Santa 2018?
I am really happy about my prompt. I have got an idea already and am eager to start writing. :-)

Re: Secret Santa 2018?
You are lucky. My prompt is nice but my mind is still blank. Have an idea but still don't know how to work with it and if it will be satisfying... for both parties.

Re: Secret Santa 2018?
Sorry you are having some trouble, but sometimes it just takes time to think things over.
I'm still figuring out what to write for mine.

Re: Secret Santa 2018?
Hi all, sorry for double-posting. But I realized last night that I forgot to include an email address in the PMs with your prompts so that you knew where to send the fics when you're finished. Sorry about that!
I can either PM you all now an email where you can reach me, or you could PM me when you are ready to send it and I will give it to you then. But since I'm in a different time zone than the rest of you I'm thinking the first option is probably better.

Yes, the first option might be better. Thank you.

Re: Secret Santa 2018?
What about your stories? I haven't written a single word so far. Should really start soon.

Re: Secret Santa 2018?
Oh, I am just working on it. I went quite well so far but then I had an idea for quite some time. Good luck to you!

Re: Secret Santa 2018?
Good to know I´m not the only one faring like that.

I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

Re: Secret Santa 2018?
Thank you to everyone who has sent me their stories so far. I just wanted to check in and see how the rest of you are doing. I had tentatively set the deadline to December 14, but if you feel you need until the 20th, that's OK. What say you?

Could be that I need that.

Re: Secret Santa 2018?
That's just fine. If I'm going to be posting them over the Christmas holiday then that's still early enough to have them all in anyway.

Re: Secret Santa 2018?
My story is finished but my beta has still not returned it yet. :-( So sorry for the delay. I will send it asap!
BUT writing it was so much fun that I finally started plotting a longer fic again. I am really looking forward to it. :-)

Re: Secret Santa 2018?
Yes, glad to hear things are going well for you on the writing front!
I hope things are going well for everyone else who is still working on their stories. I am looking forward to receiving the rest of the fics in the next couple of days!
