@kgreen I'll start posting the stories on June 20 and probably leave a day or two between stories until they are all posted.

Yitzock, if your Word doc works and the html file doesn't, I'm happy for you to send me the Word doc.

It's awkward to have to convert a Word doc into an html file and then post it on a site that uses BBCode, but this is the only solution we have been able to find. So far the process has not worked perfectly and I'm resigned to the fact that I might have to manually fix each fic, but I have a bit of time to do it and I don't really mind As long as everyone tries to convert their story and tests it themselves, so we can see what problems may arise and work it out between us.

Wow, this is so lovely. Congrats to your nine-year old fanfic star in the making.

Fantastic.

How sweet. And great talent. You must be a really proud mom!

Thanks for reading the story and for leaving lovely comments, I've passed them onto to my daughter. She wants me to let you know that she would have written a longer fic but she's too busy writing another story at the moment (an original story, not a fanfic, about a time-travelling girl with an invisible cat, who together with her friends discovers that a teacher in their school is really a vampire... Or something like that!)

Just got a chance to read your daughter's story. It made me smile. One thing that stood out for me was the description of Mycroft's face. Very Mycroft!

FInally got some writing done! The gist of the story is now complete. Now I just need to let it be for a couple of days and re-read it so that I can improve and expand upon it.

That's awesome, Vhanja

How's everyone else going? I'm getting excited...

**Posted by Yitzock** June 15, 2016 2:57 am

Me, too!

I´m writing final scenes of my story. If I would be delayed, by chance, it would be only by a day, I think. But I hope I´ll manage it on time.

I have finished writing and am waiting for my beta to return the fic. Yay.

**Posted by stoertebeker** June 16, 2016 6:13 am

Same here

**Posted by dioscureantwins** June 16, 2016 7:42 pm

I'm hammering away like mad at my keyboard. Don't think I'm going to finish in time though.

Is anybody in contact with Kerkerian? Maybe she wants to join as well.

Thank you for thinking of me, lovely stoertebeker. Since my husband and I broke up in January and are going to get a divorce, I've been preoccupied with too many other things and wouldn't have been able to participate this time.

I wish you all a lot of fun, of course, and a lovely summer.

**Posted by Yitzock** June 17, 2016 7:22 pm

Best of luck with that, Kerkerian. Even if you are busy, the fics will be here for you to read them at your leisure.

**Posted by Kerkerian** June 17, 2016 7:31 pm

Thank you, Yitzock, I appreciate it.

**Posted by ukaunz** June 18, 2016 11:11 pm

Hey everyone, today's officially the due date but I know a few of you need a bit longer to finish your fics and get them ready, which is fine by the way, thanks for letting me know.

So far I've received three fics, we'll done to you guys

For those who haven't contacted me, please do let me know that you are still working on it, as we are all looking forward to reading it and especially the person you are writing for. Better late than never

I can extend the due date by leaving a bit of time between posting fics, if everyone agrees that this is okay. What does everyone think about a few days gap between fics? Or a week?

**Posted by Yitzock** June 19, 2016 2:03 am

A few days' gap sounds fine to me.
