Meh, not too bad, actually. Thanks for asking. I'm going for a humourous one, centred around the time just before ESB. Maybe. I don't know. It's sort of vague, that way. You can't be thinking "Where does it fit in? How does this even WORK?" because that would spoil the whole thing. (grins) I'm just writing it because I want to do it that way. Mostly, I got the idea from the suggestion of pulling a prank on Han. Snicker snicker.

Han is the PERFECT person to prank!!!
I have sooooo much fun with Han in my fics and have him do all these crazy things. And he gets away with it, too, because of his scruffy background. Ask Eowyn about Han cooking the new cake and the egg!! lol I think after all the stuff Han pulled in CWV he deserves to get pranked!
I'll be looking forward to reading your story!!

My inspiration came from a few things:
A) The Adventures in Odessy It Happened at Four Corners. I trust no one here knows what I'm talking about, so the plot is safe.
And
B) In the Approaching Storm, Obi-Wan... heh.
It's an Obi/Ani story... mostly... well... you have to read it to get it. Obi's the main character... you'll probably kill me for writing what I did, but the ending will forgive that, I HOPE! It's... non-humor, mostly.

Heehee...I love "Conversations". I think Auddie reviews it mostly, but I read it along with her on occasion.
Ummm...I might not be able to get mine in by the 1st of November...I have far too much to do and so little time to write in. But I'll try my best. Maybe I'll take what I've got so far along to rehearsal and write while I'm not on stage...hmm...

OK, I FINALLY got over here to the site. On Monday my puter crashed like 8 times!!! Uggh! And yesterday I was really busy with my fanfics, but here I am!
Hobbit Eyes: I received your story submission! Thank you! That was quite a feat to write your whole story in three hours! Way to go!
Jandalf: I could give you an extension if you're close to the end of your story by Nov 1, like if you need just a few more days. I DID announce the contest a tad late... say to Nov 5. Would that help?
Of course, the new deadline would be for everyone entering....
What do you think?

A new deadline would be very appreciated... I'll never get mine wrote out and proofread by SUNDAY! I mean, I have notes on paper, but I only have some of it wrote on my PC...
PLEASE?!

OK, I'm setting a NEW DEADLINE for the contest. Since Drizzt has to go to the vet on Nov 16, I'll set the deadline for Nov 17 .... which means I'll be CELEBRATING that he's done for another year!!! I mean, he HATES the cat carrier....!!!! I'm talking growling, hissing, spitting, the whole works!!!
I dread the 16th!!! How will I get him into the carrier?
So the deadline is NOV 17TH!!!
And I'll be looking forward for stories to read on that day!!!

Ah. Cats are like that, my rl bf has nice scratchs on her arm from her cat.

Yes, do try writing a story! The more you write the easier it gets. Its like anything else; you need to practice.
Drizzt actually bit me a few years ago on my hand. He sunk his teeth in all the way. Oddly enough, it didnt bleed all that much. But it sure got infected!
Cat bites are BAD.

Indeed they are. I don't like pet store cats at all. But I do like nice cats...well...really. (rolls eyes) That was sort of a useless statement.
THANK YOU for extending the deadline...November 17 I will be able to meet.

I'll NEED it with my now-dead computer-- I can't write when not on my own computer.
*kills computer*
SO THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH!

(silence) An... extended... deadline? After I wrote mine in THREE HOURS? Any chance I could send you in another draft? I could make it better if I had a bit of time to work on it. Rani, half half

Okay. You know a few posts earlier, when I said I could make November 17?
...I lied, so it would seem. Argh.
So go ahead and evaluate everyone's stories. I'll just post mine later for kicks or something.
