I don't expect many replies tonight, since you're all probably out being Irish (as age restrictions permit), but as the resident teetotaler, I don't really care. {= D So, here we are.
For those of you who may have missed the memo, two weeks ago I threw down a challenge to write a mission if you have Permission, or just write anything at all, as long as you complete it during the month of March. Could be something you've had on the back burner, half-finished, mostly finished, completely new, whatever--just so long as it gets finished and made available to read before midnight of March 31 in whatever your time zone happens to be. There is no word count. There is no word limit. Just get it done!
For those who make it, I am offering your choice of fabulous prizes! I will:
a) beta-read your piece (since I'm not requiring entries to be beta-read ahead of time);
b) draw something for you (e.g. a character or simple scene);
c) write a drabble about the topic of your choice (provided I know what you're on about).
Only one reward per person, though, because I want to get them all done sometime this year. Make sure to tell me what you want when you plug your piece! For things completed before this post, go ahead and tell me what you want in a reply here. I'll start a list.
For the record, I have finished my interlude, but I'm going to wait before posting. Partly this is because I have plenty of time and other things to worry about, but also because I was silly and sent it off to bother Sedri before I remembered my own challenge terms. But then again, I haven't got anyone offering me fabulous prizes, so perhaps it's okay. Or maybe my brain is made of feathers. >.>
Meanwhile, how are the rest of you doing? Have you selected your target? Entered the fic? Alternatively, have you chosen your subject? Characters going where they're supposed to go? How far are you? Inquiring minds well, just mine, really want to know!

I've just finished my first completed mission, which was only 4 years in the making!
After such a long wait, I sat down and finished it in one long (4 hour!) stretch.
(It's now 3:15 am, so I may well need more beta-reading than usual!)
Pluggery to follow very soon, once I fix up all the html tages and make sure everything's working on LJ.
Elcalion, accomplished.
I've yet to start, unfortunately. I really need to get around to writing both the story and the MST that I've been planning on, but procrastination plagues me so.
Strangly, St Patrick's Day isn't that popular outside the Anglo-Saxon part of the world.
Yesterday, I typed up about 40% of what I had written so far, that came at about 2200 words. Even the long hand version isn't finished yet, but I have started to look for a point where the agents can ambuse the Stu. He's a bit of an elusive fellow, not much of the centre point of the story, but does make everyone else out of character.
...I guess I'm the assistant resident teetotaler?
Anyway, I had a couple of older, unfinished stories I was working on for March Madness, but then my hard drive decided I had too much saved on my laptop, and deleted itself--to death!
I am now working on a new story, but it will be shorter and maybe not quite as professional as it would have been otherwise. It's a little different, and I don't know that everyone will like it, but it's been fun to work on, and I hope it will still be mildly amusing.
Still, I'm working on a couple miscellaneous PPC stories, if they count, though I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish them by the end of March.
I must've missed the memo.
Anyway, I might still manage to get something done; would have to be short, though. And I like your interlude - I'll send it back soon as I can.
