I'm half-tempted to enter, but it would be an MT entry, and my writing suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks. And it's in pieces, since it was written as several posts, jumping back and forth from different sides of the battlefield.

Would this be a stand alone novel or something that could have a sequel?

For my idea it's just a simple addition or change of a few words right at the end but I'd kinda like to know.

For the record... I'm not done. I have the beginning and end and I'm working on the middle.

Woulda entered. Had midterms. Got dragged kicking and screaming away by the college gremlins.

Great idea, but, sadly, poor timing on my part. :(

Blast. I have the Janthea story polished up, but it's 2,500 words. It's two parts, and they're both kind of essential for making sense of what she becomes.

Hm. I just realized that the second half has a kaleesh character. Couldn't use that anyway, and it's canon on NS. I'll just post the first half.

Submitted. Enjoy this dark look at the rough underside of Arizona Nova.

Since there's only been three entries so far, I'm going to extend the deadline until the 21st. If you want to be in with a chance, I suggest writing something.
