Yanal,

Why not just get started on your story?

If possible, I think someone who does not intend to enter the contest should be in charge of organising* it this time. Last time there was a little bit of controversy involving a conflict of interest, which could be easily avoided now.

*opening the threads, co-ordinating the entries etc

(if everyone else disagrees with me and thinks I'm a nutter, however, might as well just make the thread)
 
Whoever has time and is willing to help us out.

Deadline should be in May.
 
Aww bless you cool with that?
I've currently written the beginning and end.
Now I need a middle, but have been too busy. Rah.
 

So Muslimah you will make the thread sa7? With the new official rules and the deadline? Or will you edit the opening post of this one or something?
 
I'll make the thread as soon as everyone agrees on the deadline
 
The deadline is 1st May.

Take it, leave it or argue it insha'Allah.

If nobody replies within 24 hours it'll be set in stone insha'Allah (or maybe not, but it sounds good rather than waiting milleniums)
 
I personally should be okay with that deadline (but I'll have to get a move on and finish the blasted thing already).

Some members have exams coming up though...
 
My exams be on the 12th May and finish on 18th May. Don't think I'll be able to meet the deadline.
Oh well. The story's probably just gonna stay as a beginning and end. I really can't seem to structure my middle. Rah.

I love middles. To me, the second act of a three act work is the most fun to write and read, because it's The Disaster, everything metaphorically goes to hell, and there's boatloads of suspense.

It's endings that frequently trip me up. To me, the act of resolving literary chaos is trickier and more boring than causing it.

See, I've got loads of possible things to put in the middle, but am stuggling with fixing the structure and my ****ed poster's taking up all my time, as well as the prospect of revision...
This is probably the only story where I've already sorted the beginning and end. I can't seem to find my notebook of stories I had. Oh well.

Agreed. Only if the story in general is awesome, afterwhich, finding an awesome ending is blinkin difficult.
