bethefirstThe deadline is almost upon us, which means that there's now one day left to finish your fic(s)! Technically, that is, because I'll throw in the same "surprise" mini-extension as I always do, and keep the collection open for submissions until an hour before reveals (which will happen at 00.01 GMT on the 19th).
There's already a very impressive 20 stories in the collection — great job, everyone! Do you think we'll be able to beat the last flash round's total of 27? Best of luck to those who are still writing, you can do it! :Db

Date: 2023-09-17 19:56 (UTC)Yeah, I started doing that today. It really helps fix errors, I've found. I listen to a lot of DLed fic that way, so I started doing that years ago, when I started writing in fandoms no one heard of (or where the only other fic in a fandom was in another language) and I knew I'd never find a beta.
I never knew anyone did that but me! Glad to know I'm not the only one! <3

Date: 2023-09-18 21:34 (UTC)Well, when I said "Wish I'd known...", what I SHOULD have said was "if I participate again, hopefully I'll forget these little extensions that you always do..."
Because, if I had known about it, I would probably have been writing right up to the extended deadline, with no real time to edit. It's just how my wacky ADD brain works: stressy deadlines motivate me, often much more than having weeks or months until deadline.
But I much prefer having time for betaing/editing. So now I'm actually glad I didn't know -- I've had time to refine and streamline, change passive verbiage to active, etc. The fic will be better for me not having known!
Still, it is awesome that you always give a little extension... so thanks for that!

(BTW, the movie you wrote for sounded very intriguing, so I'm actually downloading it as we speak. I really look forward to watching it, and then reading your fic!)

I chose "Choose not to use archive warnings" for my fic - but then I added as tags those that would apply.
