The very, very good news is that I've finally gotten a few bunnies for my ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
30kisses claim. This is very good news since I have to have my first fic written and post by October 11th and it's already the 3rd. Nothing like cutting it close!
In rather shocking news, I've actually been fairly good as far as my other stuff goes. I finished the NCIS fic that's been driving me crazy. It's beta'd and now I just need to figure out if I want to post it in one piece or decide how many parts I want to break it into. At 5,000 odd words it's a little long, imo, for a one post. I'd enjoy reading things of that length or longer. The longer the better, as far as I'm concerned, but I don't want people to be put off because of the length. I'm still kinda deciding about that. If anyone has any words of advice on fic length...
The really shocking part is that I've gotten my Sappho challenge fic written well ahead of time, at least for me. I never do things before the last minute. Now I've just got to polish it up and finish it off. I'm actually pretty nervous about this fic. It's been a while since I've written in the fandom in which my claim was in. I've never written that particular pairing and I'm nervous as hell. Nervous that the story sucks, that it will totally dissapoint the person who made the claim and will not be what they were wanting and just plain nervous that the fic is total crap. Oy.
In better news...tis October...already! (I can't believe it. It was just May yesterday, I swear!) Um, but the point of that...It's time for another DLC Fan Fiction Challenge. And of course, it's appropriately Halloween themed!

1. Halloween - Samhain - All Hallows' Eve - All Saints Day - It's a day of many names. Give this month's fic a Halloween inspired feel...spooky ghosts, haunted Star Destroyers, or find inspiration in the holiday's original celebration of summer's end. The choice is yours. The only requirement: include at least two words from the spooky word list!
2. This challenge is open to any fandom, crossovers, or original fiction. Just put a note at the beginning of the fic stating which one it is.
3. Please keep all fics under 2,500 words, and limit one fic per author.
4. All fics must be linked back to this thread to participate in the competition!
5. This challenge will run from today, October 3rd until October 31st!
Please come and join in! It'll be fun! You can find it here.
