I think something has gone a bit pear-shaped here - you've credited both me and

badly_knitted with the same story (mine). Hers should be Torchwood: Fanfic: Pushing Owen’s Buttons.

Easily done. I'd be flattered to have written anything with her, but it's sadly not the case.

I wish I were better writing in collaboration. I'm so rubbish at it :(

LOL! I've never even tried! We could probably figure something out if you wanted to give it a try though. I'm finding that I can do things I never believed possible since I stopped saying 'I can't do that' and changed it to 'I haven't tried that yet'.

Just did Contest Week at fic_promptly for the second time, wrote 45 ficlets in 5 fandoms over 7 days. This time last year, I would never have dreamed of trying that. Of course, this time last year, I was still saying 'I can't write for prompts.'...

I'm so bad at it. I've been writing something with a friend since 2007, and it's definitely my fault that it isn't finished.

I really like writing to the prompts. I just need to remember exactly when the deadline is... I'm definitely going for the Comeback Kid now that I've missed one.

That is quite a long time I guess. Who knows, one day it might get finished!

Prompts are amazing fun once you get accustomed to them.

You seem much more organised than I an at knowing which badges you're eligible for. I need to go through some of my recent ones and see if I can claim anything.

Want to know a secret? I keep a spreadsheet, so that I can keep track. And now I've set reminders in my phone for the deadlines, so that I don't end up being a day late like I was on the last one.

I don't know a thing about spreadsheets, lol! Not what they are or anything! Not sure I even have anything on my computer that I could make one with.

What do you think of the Arithmetic prompt? A lot of people (me included) have been having a difficult time with it. I managed a very short, silly ficlet to keep my streak going, but... Ah well, better than nothing!

It's a tricky one. I'm sure something popped into my head briefly, but it's gone now and I never bothered to write it down because I knew I needed to leave it.

I should have written it and saved it for the amnesty.

Always a good idea to have something there for the amnesty to save work.

Which of course is why I never have... I always seem to do things the hard way.

I have too until now - now I have the one I wrote for 'fancy', where I missed the damn deadline (got confused after it being the 1st, and assumed it was the 11th rather than 10th. How long have I been at this now?)

Life makes a mockery of deadlines anyhow. At least you have something for amnesty!

Do you write drabbles? Because it would be great to see you over at

tw100 - especially since deadlines there are a thing of the past and all challenges are open, the same as on

dw100

I drabble occasionally, but I'm not very good at it. They have a tendency to take over.

And damn the amnesty for happening while I'm sitting out. It's like it's mocking me for forgetting.

Sometimes mine do too. I started writing one for FAKE that's over 700 words now and no finished. It's not always possible to rein ideas in. I've had a lot of drabbling practice though, so the Torchwood and Doctor Who dtrabbles are mostly cooperating.

Oops, bad timing that!
