Heh. I remember that stupid scene with Jabba. I guess it was so bad that it kinda stuck with me, regardless of the few times I've seen the remastered ones....

I can't say how exactly this happened, but somehow I just ended up on a site full of page-long reviews on Star Wars replicas, discussing in detail the differences between stormtrooper helmets made by various people. Problem is, now I want one of those.

This is an inappropriate use of the this thread... <.<

Maybe start one called 'Random Discussions'?

Trust me, I'm all one for thread-jacking at a moments notice, but some un-godly number of posts ago, I believe this was a discussion on Emails for, and dates of, submissions - both of which remain relevant as long as we're getting new people.

I officially thread-jack your jacked thread. ^ ^
My friends held an intervention, to stop my ridiculous plans to take over the world (Jake ended up in the hospital). I convinced them to let me take over other worlds though.

Eh, I don't really see it as an issue. Someone new comes along, they'll post their email here (as Frog did) and BOOM! Back on topic.

Isn't this pretty much the same thing we did with the Your Background thread? Only with that one it was discussion on The Wedding? And the lead up to it? Kind of?....It's only fair that we do it with another thread. Otherwise, the one thread we did it to will feel like it's specialer than the others... ::)

I could see background getting out of hand, though. It's more or less of our introduction thread, and in all of our crazy bat-crap looney greetings are bound to throw stuff off the tracks and into crazy-crazy-chaosland.

Seriously, not trying to be a wet blanket, but utility threads should stay utility threads, lest we soon have no utility threads to use when utility is needed. ^ ^

hey, when's the next submission dates?  January first and 15th?

Did we already discuss whether or not we could send things in early here?  I have another story that would be nice to get critiqued, but it can wait.

There was some discussion here but I don't think we ever decided concretely on what we were doing.

I was going to revive that thread in a day or two to see what people wanted to do next time, or if we were just going to stick with  what we did this time. For the current round of submissions, yes, we just let everybody submit who wanted to.

I would like to submit on Monday. I should be all ready with my re-writing and everything to submit by then.

I'll update the original post of this thread as people "apply". If you post you're still not listed in a day or two, give me a poke via PM.

I'd like to do a Monday submission. I'm sending out Chapter 2, did we decide what to do about synopses?

Do something. Anything you want, but do something. It could be a sentence, or you could resend your entire first chapter. Either way.
