Working on a submission for this. Thanks for hosting another challenge for us!

Can it be a separate story but with ties to other stories /series ?

I would think so. It's not an anthology piece.

[Puppilull]

I will try to realize an idea that popped in my head last night. Will be interesting to see if I can make it work...

[northie]

Various formless ideas floating around. Hmm ... 

[Dolores Esteban]

I might give it a try.

[Krista]

Hmm.. to write a Corey/Aidan slash from Dom's Desert Dropping story... if there are any rabid domaholics left, that could get me killed.

But seriously, sounds interesting. 

[Cia]

Sorry it took me so long to reply to all of these!

Sure, it just needs to be able to be understandable without having to read anything else.

Yep, it's very vague so there are a lot of options for everyone.

LOL! It just might.

[Brayon]

Done, Moderated, Posted, and Link sent to Cia. Now waiting for publication with everyone else's.

 

Now, I think I might do a Second Forbidden Love story.... this time, one that doesn't need GA approval.

[Puppilull]

@BHopper2 I got inspired and finished a first draft of my entry! Now - polishing!

I'm working something up, but the next problem is going to be squeezing it into the word limit. If it doesn't work, I'll post it separately. 

[Drew Espinosa]

Hmm... it's been a while since I took up a challenge. Maybe I'll give this one a shot.  

[Timothy M.]

Ha, I managed to stay within the limit: 1496 words.  

It's now being edited, so should be ready in time.

I just need to come up with a story title, since Forbidden Love won't do, of course. I had it as a stop-gap working title, so I'm now trying to figure out what to call the story and the chapter.

[Valkyrie]

I started mine today   

[Dolores Esteban]

I've finished my first draft.

So did I.  It's with my beta reader now, so hopefully it will meet his approval.   

[northie]

Giving up on mine. Not enough time, and insufficient inspiration to motivate me to find some more. And I'm getting behind on other things, Oh well, I'll just sit this one out.

So, I had an idea, and got it done. Two nods of approval and its edited.

Hehe. At 1499 I’m under too! 

 

Keeping to the word limit was the hardest part. Getting rid of 100+ words without sacrificing the content. It can be done. #learning

[Parker Owens]

I fear I still need several things: an idea I actually like, time in which to write, and ruthless word-cutting power. I can still hope...

My editor helped me shave off 50 words.

Now I just need to upload and send Cia a link.
