Something to do ...

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

In a comment from otherhawk she mentioned her file of stories that needed to be 'expanded', and the idea struck me that all of us probably have a few in our own file cabinet that are works in progress, and in need of completion.
So, here's what I'm suggesting...
Let's make Fridays the day to celebrate our overload of story ideas and start finishing them, posting them and being done with them.  Start small if you need to but if you have that unfinished story, or the one that was simply a primer for a longer story, then get it done and post it on Fridays.  Whether it is the next chapter inspired by a PicFic, a drabble or just that idea floating around without a challenge home, then Friday is your day.
I know of at least four stories that I have staring back at me from my computer screen, how about you?
If you're looking for beta help there's always mfuwss You can post a story and ask for help, suggestions and betas on that site.  Don't let your unfinished stories languish in a heap of ideas, let's get them finished.
Of course any day of the week is open for posting new stories, but Friday is a day to shoot for if you have been waiting for a reason to finish something that has been delayed for some reason or other.
The topic is open for discussion, so let's fine tune this concept and start finishing stories.

Hahahahaha! Did I say hahahahhaaaaa already? I have so many stories on a back burner that I wouldn't know where to start BUT my AU story leaving Elliott preggers for at least 2 years now is glaring at me. Hmmm? Can I get in the right frame of mind to go back to my AU series? What stories lurks in the heart of mrua7... only the 'Shadow' knows for sure..."

Mwaaa haaa haaa haaaaa..

Sounds like a fine idea.

Calendar Girl wants to know what name you're giving to this post.

How about the Expanding Stories Affair, since we mostly expanding on other stories that demand, ummm, expansion.

Well I have that story which carries on from the Big Bang story I wrote last year (never mind the story, just look at Glennagirl's pictures!) and I've only written chapter one. I would like to get on with it, but was delayed by attending to my tomatoes and by being encouraged to write about Big Ben ....

This is your challenge then, and when you're finished come and post it for us here. I'm excited already.

Blimey. Better write something worth reading then.

Excellent idea. Half of the stuff I've written is demanding an expansion. Plus, I left Illya clinging to some rafters a few weeks ago.

That's what I figured, we all have comments encouraging us to expand on a story. Now we have a specific place, a weekly opportunity to get those stories finished.

This is a good idea! Maybe it will give me the motivation to get off of my posterior and finish that last chapter of the "Yellowstone Affair" plus I have a couple that have been brewing for sometime.

By all means, we need to help each other finish up all of our tag along stories. I have several and requests for prequel /sequel stories.
