Well after just under a month of the relaunch, it's so nice to see everyone back and the site having some life to it again.
In hoping that we can continue this new lease on life, I don't want to start off by falling into the old traps again. One of those traps we fell into was not enforcing deadlines. When deadlines are not enforced, we just become a normal fanfiction site and it leads more credence to the idea of claim hoarding.
So, we will not be allowing extensions in the month of November. Due to timezones and what not, everyone's issues must be up by December 2nd. That will have given everyone almost fifty days to write at least a thousand words. That works out to roughly 20 words per day. Even a person with the busiest schedule ever can do that.
Right now the only people that need to worry about this are: Me for Batman & Robin, Jay for Flash, RandomFan for Birds of Prey, Yoda's Brother for Outsiders, Silentking for Suicide Squad and Bkole for Teen Titans.
I hope to see all of these issues up soon!
P.S. The one exception will be Buck. I guarantee you that he has a good reason and most likely no one here will be able to produce a quality reason like his.

Thanks for this. I was going to send you a message - I have been remiss in my writing. I have started but I keep getting distracted...
Curse my short attention sp...

So, I did a silly thing today and spent an hour instead of working thinking about Teen Titans. Now, I've realised I've stumbled on a much better way to introduce the concept and characters, so I need to start from scratch. UGH. That is annoying! Have it up before the end of Nov though. Hopefully, by the end of the week

Flag on the field. Illegal use of alliteration. Five yard penalty. Still first down.

Sorry Star but being older the words The Dreaded Deadline Doom (or DDD) has struck again were the worst possible words to find on the splash page of my favorite Marvel Comics as a kid, it meant the creative missed the deadline so I was getting an inventory story or a reprint in the middle of my storyline. So the DDD is not my creation but was put into the ether by the Smilin' one himself, Stan "the Man" Lee. I am just riffing on it here and its been on the newsfader for a few weeks, so the next snap occured, you can't challenge it, you have to pick up your flag and the game continues. -M

Now I'm picturing Stan Lee scoring a touchdown while shouting "excelsior!". Damn you!

Just because you don't tune into the game doesn't mean the game's not being played. Upon further review, the ruling on the field has been overturned. No fumble on the play.

Only a few days left. I keep checking for new stuff to read and I'm not finding it. What's happening?

I still need to finish editing my story and then wrap it up. Also, thanks MRP for pointing how my story could be improved. You helped me big time.

Btw, is the deadline tomorrow or December 2nd? Because said the former and another said the latter.

Miller initially said Dec 2nd, which is Sunday, which gives people the weekend. Since it is already the 30th here on the east coast, we'll go with the 2nd.

Just to update everyone on my situation new lap top number two in three months should be purchased over the weekend and hopefully have an issue in the can by the 15th of December barring major setbacks.

Woot! Can't wait. I know what an ordeal it has been for you, so I am glad to see things getting back to an even keel. -M
