We can send in more than one beginning if we want, right? Not that I have more than one idea yet; I just want to confirm. I've already sent 4 ... and they're all first person, muahahahaha! I'm scared. Because I think you missed the conversation where we all said present tense succcccckkkkkkkkkkked. |

Can't say I'm not tempted but honestly I'd just end up letting somebody down. I've got a job change, a kit for LARP to make, a game to run at the pub, and several other stressful things happening. I'd be a drop out and I never want to be a drop out. Better off helping Dragon ... although helping might be a bit mischevious in my case. Write. Wriiiiite. |

I'm annoyed with Taed at the moment because his is exactly the sort I would give to him... xD Wait, the topics are also meant to be random?! I don't think I can grow enough lettuce for that. And if Reffy joins it would even things out. |

But yeah, you're not meant to pick beginnings for certain writers. Although, if you don't want to give me any present tense ones... that's fine. |

I've always wanted to write something in future-tense. I don't mind present tense. But I think it got to the stage of a needless gimmick last year. People were using it to go "look, this beginning is really hard." I'd like the challenge to come from the characters, settings or introduction of the plot. Or lack of. Not so much the perspective of the writing. Although, future tense would be cool. |

Ok, I can do that, it'll just be annoying making sure the you don't get a beginning you submitted. |

For each group, put all of the beginnings in a hat, except for the ones they submitted. Let the people who submitted the most beginnings draw first so there isn't a danger of running out. |

Because I think you missed the conversation where we all said present tense succcccckkkkkkkkkkked. ;D I missed nothing (at least, not in this thread). Been doing my assistant duties. Would -love- to write. Think I could keep up with the competition and produce something good? No. |

I need at least 2 more beginnings. Chop! Chop! People! There's one more. Hopefully with less mistakes in it. One day we should have a competition of 75-150 words beginnings. They're pretty fun to write all by themselves. Mostly because I don't have to think where the heck they're going after I've finished with it. |
