I have been off the internet for a while and am very happy to know that we are having a challenge. Way to go authors. I know you all have a "lot on your plates", but I LOVE THE CHALLENGES!! Thanks, everyone.

Seegee:
I participate in story challenges on another board (not spanking related) and it generally seems that you get a late influx of entries. I think this is because it takes time to initially come up with an idea that meets the brief and then to actually write it down. As certain posters have pointed out doing stories set earlier in history does require a bit of research and that also takes time.

Also that deadline concentrates minds. How many student essays are mostly written in the last day or two?

Douglas Adams (Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy) once commented that he liked the sound deadlines made as they whooshed by.

Or, at least in my student days, in the last hour or two....

The first LSF challenge I participated in, Flopsy told me I got my story in one minute before the deadline. I think I was still editing it when I pressed the "send" button.

So at this moment on 9/28, I still feel I have plenty of time to submit my entry.

I've submitted mine - now to relax and see what other authors have done. By the discussion going on, it sounds like quite a few will be set in the past. Here's hoping we got enough entries to constitute a proper 'Challenge'!

According to the information available under Features and then clicking on Challenges so far we have only 56. Way above the 20 needed, well done gang.

A lot more than I thought there'd be. Got some intensive reading ahead of me.

I've yet to work out how many are set in the past versus how many in the future. My guess was more in the past. There already seems to be a trend towards the futuristic stuff featuring space travel, possibly because that's what so much fiction about the future concentrates on. It'll be interesting to see what periods and locations feature most in the past.

A last word on historical accuracy: I think the attitudes of the time are more important than the factual details. That's as long as we don't have howlers like the Titanic being sunk by a German U-boat (mind you, maybe there's been a huge cover-up...). Speaking of huge cover-ups, I remember this patrolling policewoman...
