Today's prompt: Footstep

One can start a journey, another can be to make a stand. What type of footstep do you take?

As it is, I can't actually access the forum to post anything until like 30min after IF ends. <_< I guess I won't participate even if I want to. AF is looking much brighter as a competitive option.
But what are you going to do if violin doesn't post an Aluminum Fic prompt either?

I suspect that Halibel went and murdered them both and hid the bodies, to reduce the number of currently competitions and raise the stakes for LiCl Fic. She seems to like poisonous chemicals...
No IF, no AF either. The basis for AF is that it's a continuation of IF over a much longer period of time.

FUCK.

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCKITY FUCK. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF--

Okay, yeah. I fucked up and lost track of the date. Anyone interested in doing this tomorrow, same time? Sorry to everyone who'd planned to write, I hope that you'll be able to/interested in writing this week.

Well, my original plan for today was use my sister's phone to create a wifi-network so that I could type the story while I was at my grandma's temple.

Doing it in the comfort of my home sounds like a good idea. If nothing comes up, I'm in.

The rule is, iron fic to-morrow and iron fic yesterday - but never iron fic to-day.

Har har, hilarious. :no:
Doing it outside is fun too. Gives a sense of... excitement. :wub:
Yeah, there was that one time where me and my fiance where walking across the campus here when...

wait, what exactly are we discussing again?

Writing, of course.

So... will it be iron fic today? Or is it only every other day?

11AM.? :rolleyes:? Last week was a fluke.
But it got posted at 9 AM, and people said it was an hour early.... B)
Nope, Watashiwa has always posted at 11am PST. NGD posted at 10am PST.

Wata, just to tell you, the people in #TFF that I trust are armed with knives today. I hope that the prompt today is a good one. ^__^

Hey all, I just woke up to remind you that this is Saturday, which means Iron Fic is on in half an hour!

Also, I start a six week long program tomorrow that will see me living without an internet connection for most of it. This may prevent me from posting IF challenges at all, or it may just require a scheduling change. I don't know which, and won't know which until next Saturday.

Iron Fic. At first, it started awesome and for a time, it was actually great. Then, less and less people entered. Sometimes, the week had no contestant at all.

Maybe no one had time. Maybe the theme inspired no one. Whatever the reason, a growing frustration is a part of the answer.

And I think we all know where that frustration comes from. (*hint*scores*hint*)

Wata, as much as the judges are to blame, it's still your responsability to kick them if needed and find new one if they don't answer.

The point of all this? I think it's time for a hostile takeover. Wata, as much as this is your idea and it's yours, you pretty much destroyed any credibility you had at running it.

First of all, I need to know if people are going to enter if I start running it. There's no point doing so if everyone is busy.

Just so you know, there's not much I plan to change. The only thing that would change, if accepted, is to extend the time limit to a 12-hours period. That way, more people would be able to enter. I think 4 hours is horrible, especially if you have work during that time.

As for scores, I promise to whip any judge who dares to be late for no reason.

So... Should I prepare for next Saturday?
