With so many prompts we seem to have some that aren’t selling well. How do you feel if I add some more forest-themes as alternatives to the unclaimed ones?
... just saying, if we turn out to actually be short on submissions, I suppose that mine could be cut into two or three episodes ...

My own piece is finished also, it's just currently being held hostage by my inner editor, that seems to be intent to make good use of the time it has to tweak it and catch typos.

JoB, sorry to have ignored you! Would you like to claim one of the remaining prompts for part(s) of your story? Based on your first prompt it likely fits into 19 OC bear beast?

Currently remaining:

9. (how to catch) Kusiaistennuolija OR seedlings/saplings

11. (how to catch) Hallavanahka OR primeval

13. (how to catch) Pöppö OR scurrying

19. (how to catch) OC bear beast OR woodland smells

JoB, sorry to have ignored you!
No problem, that kind of treatment usually fails to even register with me. :P

Would you like to claim one of the remaining prompts for part(s) of your story?
I've repeatedly looked at them, but I'm afraid that so far, they just don't speak to me. Nor does my 21 talk about the bear of the canal (henceforth Vihainen) much, I'm afraid, which makes it difficult to chisel an actual 19 out of it as kind of a sequel or prequel ...
Spoiler: show

And me and OC? You know me, I'm the "take what's on someone else's mind and see how much you can twist it before it even has entirely left his mouth" kind of storysmith. >:D

I have sent the list of claimed prompts to thegreyarea, if you have some updates about your progress, let him know. If he doesn’t hear from you, he’ll remind you one week before your date (or as soon as we get the dates, if you are among the earliest dates).

So! One week to go! That would mean the last page of current chapter would be on the 26th of March and break would start on the 27th with Wave's work. And then mine, and so on. I guess I'd better step on it now!

There are still three unused spots. I suggest we keep them open, in case someone still wants to join, but if no claims appear, we'll move the works after that forward. This would mean that day 10 would become day 9, day 12 would be 10, 14 would be 11 and everything after that would move up to three days forward. It's still over two weeks to first of these dates, so do you think this seems reasonable? Please note your day as if those three remained unfulfilled, it's easier to push back if something turns up than rush forward :)

Grey perhaps you could mark the dates for everyone and send them to the people with this in mind?

Thank you JoB and Jitter! I'll do that.

I'd love to take another prompt, but I'm too busy right now. (I'll let you know if things develop in a favourable way).

Butter Good! :)

Are the links to past Chapter Breaks Fillers broken or purposely off-limits of super-newbies like me? I hope this doesn't come across as a complaint, I get why they'd be off-limits, it's just that I've seen disqus mentions a couple of times in the past and now I'm finally here and trying to get a sense of what exactly they are they aren't. So, checking just in case it's not intended before curiosity devours me. :'D

They're in the Forum Memories board, you might need 10 posts total to see them. I can get to them fine so they're not broken :>
