it's 50k, any kind of retribution would be useless it's such a large ask that it would scare everyone off if you don't come through, you don't come through, you don't enter that year, that simple, you can enter the next year if you prefer no entry - no prize
see, absolutely no penalty it's 50k and that's a lot especially in fandom and despite the best intentions in the world stories die or life gets in the way, I've been there, done that, what's the saying "man plans and god laughs" no penalty whatsoever but you could bribe yourself, like I can only have this if i do this - it works for me
Sadly, bribes just don't work for me. If I can afford it at the time and I want it - I get it. (You're actually lucky that they work so well for you! Oh, hey! How's your new doll going? ::g::)
The extension does help, actually. I'm kinda writing... but it kinda comes and goes. 5,000 words one week, 3,000 the next, then nothing for a fortnight, then 5,000 in two days, then nothing... I'm sure you get the picture.
The idea is staying with me though, so if I have longer to finish it I may actually be able to do it.
::pause::
Watch it then come in under 50,000! ::rolls eyes::
The muses are willing. It's the spirit that's week.
Oh. And it's a crossover with Doctor Who, btw. If that's not acceptable then I'm out before I've even officially entered! ::g::
that's absolutely fine oh I think I can convince you adayume has agreed to take schwarz only commissions check out her stuff and tell me you don't want to win
If I'm getting the deadline until end of December I should make it. I've started something, but life (and other writing projects) got in the way and I just really want to write something for Weiss again so this is perfect... :)
absolutely nothing, nada, not even an apology that no one could make it so i spent the prize money on me.... well, on anime, but for me....... at least people are entering for weissday so there are fics coming there

An extended deadline could definitely help.
::thinks::
There's no penalty for *not* coming through, is there?
