Vicster! Script Frenzy! April! You're on! :) - T. Brent, technopeasant
I'm so proud of you. I decided to take a much needed vacation and didn't hit 50K, but participating this year was such an important step for me. Thanks for your distant encouragment and great humor. Now, get to editing! ;) - nakachi
There you are! Missed you... glad that it was an important step for you. Script Frenzy? April? - T. Brent, technopeasant
Hmm... April, you say? That just might go.... - nakachi
i mean, if your witty repartee is any indication. :) - T. Brent, technopeasant
You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club. Jack London (1876 - 1916) - Fossil Huntress
"Witty repartee." That's so much nicer than "shit talkin'." - nakachi
Well, let's see: "If your shit-talkin' is any indication." Could work... context? - T. Brent, technopeasant
I love it when you talk dirty. I'm sorry. What were we talking about again? - nakachi
T. Brent, technopeasant

Congrats on the near 82k words! What a feat! - Jon, the Beartato of FF
Yeah, I'm terrible with keeping track of word count, so the last two years I've vastly overshot the mark (last year I think I was over 120k o.O). Which is irritating to me because I was really pushing to get as much done as possible and I would have been more than happy stopping in the low 50's in trade for a bit of my sanity... :P - tinypants - Hagitha of FF
82k words? WOW. Congrats!!! - AJ Batac
Dang that rocks!!! Will they publish it? Or am I thinking of a different contest. WTG! - Ken
