Sure you can vote, just don't select yours 

Nothing wrong with giving a vote to your competitors, shows real sportmanship if I do say so myself.

[Jimmy Olsen]

It's spelled "entry."

[OrpheumZero]

Man, it's been like three days and no one has posted? Everybody dead? *Comtemplates looting some houses  *

Anyway, looks like I got the lead right now. Though I do hope to see some heat in the voting before it finishes.

[Jimmy Olsen]

I've been busy.  It would take too long to explain why.

[Poowrite]

Likewise, looks like I might be getting a little more free time now though :s.

Maybe I'll get back to posting stories again.

I would hope so. I've been eager to see that revised Hidden Leaf story for ages! Plus, I'm dying to see more of that Dragon Ball GT story.

I guess I just have too much time on my hands (it's hard finding a job sometimes, but at least I'm doing my best around the house). Though I do need to start getting serious with a few thoughts I've had jumping around in my head for a while.

[Poowrite]

That makes me feel kinda bad >.<

I lost the notes on both those stories . I've been wanting to comeback to Pan, though, and I'm thinking I'll probably re-imagine that series. I'm actually thinking about using chapter one as my Contest XI entry ...

[DrBones]

Sorry to hear that Poowrite.   I know when I forget how I was going to do something I lose all motivation to work on it...   Maybe I shoulden't have said that.

It's hard to pick up a big project you've left for a long time without needing to go back and redo it from scratch.  If you do remake "The Coxsackie Saga" (the Pan story), and finish it sometime, don't change it too much.  You could just tweak the existing chapters, add a few things, and continue from there and have a great mini-novel.  Of course if, (as your implying), you feel like just leaving the original as is and starting over with "Pan taking dumps in space" as the only connection, I won't complain.  ;D

As for the Naruto revision/expansion/rewrite thing, you can still find some of people's suggestions and your old comments on the reviews page.  The unifying theme in all of them is to give Sakura a bigger roal and just rereading some of them help you remember and inspire you.  (Hell, one guy loved it and he's not even IN to our kind of stuff, what dose that say? )  This is one that really should only be expanded and made better, things like the original jokes are so natural that they should be included in any future versions.

Well, you've heard me rant about how much I love your stuff before and what I would like to see, (like my Tenchi chapter, hint ) so I'll just say it's great to have you back.

Tell me about it.  That's my big problem. That's why I haven't written any original or otherwise non-Nyou Fiction characters in a fic since.... forever...  >_<;

I always get started, then have to take a break 'cause my hands get numb or someone wants to RP, then when I come back, I've lost all motivation to do it because I've forgotten how I wanted to do it.  x_x

[DrBones]

That's the exact problem I have.  I usually start writing around 8:00/9:00 at night and as I can only do about one page every two hours it seams, I never get much done before I have to go to bed around 11:30/12:00.  Buy the time I get back to it a few days later, I just can't get back into it and end up starting over and never finishing anything. 

If it weren't for the great support I get from you guys I would get nothing done, but with your support I've been able to do... slightly more than nothing...   

[Duce]

yeah same problem here, it's been forever since I've put up a new fic, I had been working on one a couple weeks ago but now I just can't get back to it when I have time.

[Poowrite]

Heh, seems like you guys and me have the exact opposite problem. My problem is starting something in the first place. I always struggle trying to decide how and where to start a story and then struggle actually writing the opening. And, if I start and am unsatisfied with it I'll generally scrap what I'm doing >.<

Bones:
I lost my notes, but remember enough about The Coxsackie Saga that I could probably piece together what I don't remember if I put a little effort into it. I think that, by and large, the story will be the same. There are a few changes that I want to make to it, one of which is pretty major from my original idea (which was silly:P) and I thought maybe I'd just start over. Plus, I think(hope) I'm a better writer now than when I started it and will hopefully improve on whats already there.

I'll take a look at the comments on the Naruto story, thanks for the direction and encouragement. It really means a lot .

Well don't forget that Bulma invent that pill that can induce bowel movements in people. Nothing saying you can't have Trunk giving Pan a dose of that stuff to make her poop like a racehorse, and hell, since GT is set like 67 years after Dragon Ball  (I know, probably less, but still  ), Bulma could have easily made the pill more powerful and with all kinds of different triggers to make it work.
