Hey, Cal!

Perhaps I should have posted this earlier. But I didn't.

Anyway, I'm putting all five stories in ONE thread and, at the moment, I have four. None of them are completely finished but I thought I should put them up so you can take a look at them. Here's the link: http://www.youngwriterssociety.com/topic30328.html

Hiya ChernobyllyInclined,

Cool, I've posted you up with the link on the entries list.

Very Happy

Icaruss,

So, I think I've got it correct, instead of "Don't Be Silly," you would like "Break-up" to be part of your five?

Ta,
Cal.

I be torn. On the one hand - a Table of Doom, which is simply wonderful for getting da duices flowin'. On the other - romance, something that I try to avoid at all costs. >.<

Oy vey. I'll give it a shot.


I feel the same way, Woo.

It doesn't help that I have peers who use this website, so I'm always embarrassed posting mushy stuff - I don't know why, but it's a lot more intimidating thinking about the girl who sits behind me in my chem class reading my romantic poetry than imagining some random person reading it.

Whatever, I'll give it a shot.

Can I submit an entry in three parts? I mean, I have a story that went a bit overboard. So, I'm either thinking of putting it in the Advanced Critiques Section or chopping it up into three parts, but I'm wondering if all three parts can be considered as one?

Yeah.

What about a broken romance?

What if a couple starts out loving each other, but end up hating each other? Can I write a story like that?

I'm sorry for not getting back to you guys on this earlier. But, you can PM me the entries if you don't want anyone but me to read them.

They can be considered three parts if each part is influenced or uses a different prompt word.

So, yeah, I'll take the three parts as one for your last entry.


Okay, so, since I was gone for so long away from YWS, I am debating on extending the date again. What do you guys think?

Ta,
Cal.
