Your challenge for this week is to write a 500+ word short story in which the MC (or, Main Object, however you care to think about it) is a plant (any kind of plant, from a tree to a blade of grass, to Dionaea muscipula).

Pleeeeeaaase do the weekly goal and a personal goal? It makes it easier to add points up.

Remember, in order to receive points for completing the weekly challenge, you MUST declare it by Monday at midnight.

As always...



If this is your first time on one of these quests, you'll need to see the initiation pamphlet.

Also, I would like to remind everyone that any weekly challenge pieces that are posted on the forum will be eligible to be featured in our newsletter. Please post a link in this thread if you would like it to be considered.

If you could write your sign-up post in a similar format to the following, it would be appreciated:
Goal: weekly challenge (or whatever you decide to do)
Timezone: PDT


WRITE! *fires AK-47 in the air*

Darn, I thought I had till tomorrow at midnight to finish my personal goal.

Sorry Lycanis! I don't have the time this week to do both.

Personal goal: Fractal step 2 of Joshua and Jed
Time Zone: CDT

I don't either, sorry.

Personal Goal: 700 words in Tavion's Fractal
Timezone: MDT

No problem, I was just being silly.



Aw, I'm sorry. Yeah, the deadline is midnight Saturday.

Well, I finished a little bit ago, at any rate. I'm happy about it.

I'll do both a personal goal and a weekly goal. Give me till tomorrow morning to actually decide on a personal goal.

Yay! That's the spirit.

Okay. Seriously, no pressure to do the weekly challenge, though... *might be able to help Ren come up with a reachable goal on skype tomorrow*

Interesting goal... We'll see how easy it is to do it

Personal Goal: Fractal Tessa and begin drawing some creatures for Ritharael
Timezone: EST

'tis, fine, I already have a great idea for it. XD
*would love that*

I have 2 personal goals:
Fill out character sheet for NaNo MC
write 150 words every day (with one grace day for the week)

Timezone: MST

Personal Goal: Three chapter sections in TKB. (I am so going to die if I can't get 'em all done today)
Timezone: PDT

Go Zoe, you can do it!

Goal: Write a character fractal for Seth Sheppard (personal) and the weekly challenge.
Time zone: Pacific Standard Time

I finished the weekly challenge! I'll be putting it in the Fireside later tonight.

A quick note: due to HW being off yesterday, people can make their goals and submit them til midnight tonight.

Yay! Post the link here when you do.

*is very happy we can still post goals today* I was going to post one last night, but then HW was down. But it's just as well. I had two goals in mind, one of which I basically completed yesterday and the other of which I'm completing today... So I figure I better set myself a different goal.

Personal goal: Post at least 3 times on my blog this week
Timezone: CST

I've had to edit my goals before to make them harder before.

*loves this goal*

*is very happy Wolfie likes her goal* Considering my blog hasn't been posted on since I published Peter's Angel, I thought it was a good goal. Already got one post in...

Yesh, it is!

Hooray! I was going to ask about that, but you saved me the trouble.


That's exactly what happened to me.

Personal goal: write 25 pages of The Conquering Light
Time zone: MDT

Personal Goal: write ten pages
Time zone: EST

Finished 500 words on my story already. Going to do the weekly challenge.

Thank you, Lycanis! I was going to change mine because I already had my personal goal finished. I thought it would be hard, but it wasn't . My new goal:

Personal goal (revised edition): Finish Joshua and Jed's "what" stage and get Ruth caught up to them.
Time Zone: CDT

You're welcome! (I didn't think of it on my own, which is kind of ridiculous )

Okay, I pasted in your revised goal.

*Finished the weekly goal*

If you ever feel like it this week, you can do it again for three more points each time! Try writing a dandelion or something.

More points? Hmm...

Here is proof I've finished both goals.

I did another weekly challenge story!

Missing A Week[
.....<a great emptiness>
.....<going to the wrong bus station for your bus>]

Woo! See, aren't you glad you joined?


Oh no! How sad!

(And nice mini essence map, by the way. )

Yes she is! Look at her skype mood message.

@Juliet - Oh no! Hopefully you won't miss it next time!

(and someone finally using essence mapping to communicate! *wants to turn essence mapping into a language and speak it*)

*gives Juliet a cupcake of consolation* The bus metaphor is perfect.

I second that.

(I actually do that a lot, I just never say it out loud because it would confuse people...then I realized that people on HW might not be confused! It would be so cool to actually try to carry on a conversation in it, I agree....)

* munches and is very consoled * * grins * Thankyou.

It would!

I got my goals done.

*sails in on boat of happiness* I am very, very, very, very pleased to announce that this week's personal goal has been accomplished. 25 pages down the hatch. But I'd still like to get 2 more tomorrow to make up for my slight underachievement last week.

Good job, Tarin!

I finished my personal goal!

Weekly and personal goals complete!

Goal complete!

*leaves a tray of cupcakes for all the winners* No snitchin' one if you didn't complete your goals!

*happily eats cupcake and then stands guard to protect it from those who haven't won yet

*eats a cupcake and joins the Cupcake Guard*

Goal complete!

*Goes and takes a cupcake*

Here's the link to my weekly challenge attempt: viewtopic.php?f=118&t=7104

Personal Goal Completed! Finally.

Done.

Good job everyone.

*goes and gets a cupcake too*

*bounces around* I actually am gonna get points this time!

Yup.
