I volunteer my taleant to making those macaques look smart.
That makes me number two on the sign up list and number one on the “fork me, not him again!” list.
I also nominate the follow roles for my entry:
- Vic-k as my mascot and moral compass.
- Nom and rdale (I will not use a new name for you!) will fetch ideas from the bins of others so I can have the bad id as all to myself.
And finally - Mr X shall play the role of antagonistic nun with ruler, all too eager to correct my misguided ways (if only I’d hold still long enough to make sure contact could be made without risking damage to the desk!)
Let me know when I’ll get my advance draft of the outline!
I’m in.
Are you taking into account that the night of the 28/29th is the end of British Summer Time? Does that give people an extra hour in their NiaD-day?

Ha! Sadly the end of BST means that Sunday gets longer rather than Saturday. We should be long finished and nicely tucked up in bed by 2am on Sunday. 
Welcome back to those who’ve signed up already! There’s three of us at the moment, which is enough for a start, a middle and an end, so it looks like we’ve got ourselves a story!
Count me in for the awkward fourth act. :mrgreen:
No no no. I have dibs on “awkward” and “useless” as well as “nonsensical” and “why!?! Dear God! WHY???”
I know you don’t say very much at this stage, but a wee clue would be useful. Very broad-brush genre, such as “Western”. There are some things I wouldn’t touch with the proverbial bargepole. Something like “1930s Crime” could be “The Untouchables” or Agatha Christie, but it’s hugely different from the here-and-now, and the difference does matter.
There are some topics that I would, reluctantly, just walk away from, even at the last-minute midnight email stage.
Hey, Wolf.
About the only clue I can give you is that it probably wont’t be a genre we’ve done before. That’s not too helpful, though, because 1) I have a personal definition of what genres are that stands a good chance of being different to what you’d naturally assume, and 2) at some point I’m going to have to abandon the new-genre-each-time approach, and 3) I’m probably not going to warn you when I do.
Not knowing is a big part of the fun, but it’s also a big part of the challenge. It’s not supposed to be easy, and that discipline of writing something that stretches you is where you learn the most about yourself as a writer.
As a great philosopher once said…
If you honestly think you won’t be able to commit to producing something you’re proud of to an unseen brief, then this probably isn’t the event for you. Except, of course, I’ve read your stuff before and I know you can do it! 
Count me in! 
Thank you!
Heather
There was a lot of luck there.
Nah, I don’t believe in luck. I believe in people.
Let me ask you two questions…
- are you available on the day?
- did you have fun before?
Heather, welcome back! :slight_smile:Ow! Stop twisting my arm!!
Oh, alright… I’ll do it. Sign me up.
Hi there,
I’m in, too!
Me, me. Pick me!

I would like to join again this year!
Ooooh… errrr… I did it back in… was it June? I really feel like I want to, but if I remember, I finished veeerrrry close to the wire (in fact, it may have even been a bit over the wire) and I whinged a lot about how terrible I thought I’d done afterwards. But I dooooo have this burning want to do it, and now I know what to expect I would probably have my shizzle together a bit better this time around, and it IS a great experience…
Oh lordy, this sounds a lot like me saying yes to this…!
Yay please count me in thank you
Haha! You are one of us now, you have no choice*!

- except, well… you do. So I’ll need you to actually say it.
