No one has written a '3 Billy Goats Gruff' story yet, about the trials and tribulations of an email as it attempts to get past my spamblocker. Posts: 2710 | Registered: Jul 2004

LOL! I've actually had few different ideas about how to do the re-write but only completed the one. I thought about writing outlines, but the one story was really naughty so I decided to leave well enough alone .
I'm definitely looking forward to the discussion. This is almost like Christmas!
No, no, it can't be time already! I haven't finished my revision yet. I was working so hard on my other stuff and celebrating my first rejection with a handwritten note and - NO!
*curls up into a fetal position and sucks her thumb*
Seriously, though. I don't have much to change, just the beginning. I can have it done tomorrow and available tomorrow evening.
Edit: It looks like I can have it up on Hatrack early this afternoon. I know, I know, it's not enough time for everyone to read. It's the principle of the thing.

Oh dear, I should have been keeping up on this thread, and not just the one on F&F (yes, we were told, I messed up!).
- When living in Hawaii, a lovely girl from Australia intro'd me to thousand island dressing on fries. I preferred Ranch, and loved it. I had sailing class every week (from age 8-18) and we had a lunch break. When the orders came out, I always requested some ranch dressing to go with my fries. My friends tried it, and pretty soon the servers were bringing a bowl of dressing every time without us asking. TWENTY-FIVE years later, I returned, and was at the club during the sailing class lunch break. Their lunches came out, complete with a bowl of Ranch dressing! The kids don't even know why - it's a tradition. Guess I've done my bit for obesity in America...
- Ok, now to the real stuff. AUGH! I'm guessing we were SUPPOSED to offer critiques after reading each other's work? I wasn't sure, so perhaps I shortchanged some people who didn't specifically ask for comments (for those who did, I provided them). So I apologize in advance, and will happily do so even at this late date... I'll recheck my e-mail to see who I owe
Any reason we can't keep revising past the deadline? Are we supposed to submit completed stories somewhere, or are we just discussing what we did?
I am significantly sleep-deprived - thanks for putting up with me!

Don't worry! I know that some people wanted crits done and others didn't ask. Personally, I just did this as a writing exercise and wasn't looking for crits, I figured I could wait to hear people's opinions until the end of the month. Based on some of the feedback I have gotten, I may edit it a bit try submitting to a few markets. I'll decide after we get some discussion going.
Tomorrow!!!!! Dakota's going to set up a discussion thread so we can talk about the different angles we used, inspirations, the variety of interpretation, etc.
