yeah. Tongue to Real Life.

It looks like you've got a lot done here in the meantime.Smiley

I spent the last couple days re-reading the Castle thread on MW, before coming here.  I noticed the version here has been revised - must have taken forever, given the original sprawling, non-continuous nature of large chunks of the original.  (Now I'll have to re-read here as well.Smiley)

And aside from that you've managed what looks like an extremely well-crafted full forum. Smiley

Yeah. A lot of people have dropped out and requested that their contributions be removed so I've been rewriting like a fiend. (I'm currently working on a scheduled "monster hunt" loose end that was left flapping in the wind..) I still intend to write a novel based on the Castle and once all the rewritten posts are done and up, I should have a fairly detailed outline/first draft for two novels.  Smiley I still have about 2000 original posts to go through in the Castle with a bit of "spillover" into other threads. If the Gods like me, I should have it all up by the end of the year. Sooner if my creative juices start flowing properly!

And as for the forum itself, I've had a lot of wonderful help. Smiley to my Admin Team who handle the hard stuff while I hunt monsters....

Must be hard, to have to re-write so much.  I remember pages of other stuff mixed in with story.  Are you really going to make a novel (or three)?  I mean, publish and everything, not just end up with a novel-sized story?  That's really, really neat - I'd buy it, I know it's as good as most of the books I've read.  (plus my char is in it Grin  Bragging rights to the family!)

I'd offer to do some of the posts, but I wouldn't know which ones to keep or toss from nearer the beginning - and I'd have no clue about rewrites.  But if there's anything I can give a hand with, let me know.

I will. I'm doing all the rewriting mainly because I'm the only one who has the whole story -- more or less -- in my head. When I get to work on the first novel I may find a spot to introduce your character before she actually shows up at the Castle -- foreshadowing and all that! -- and I will need to pick your brain about the particulars!  Grin

(is decidedly pleased!)
Any brain-picking you want, you got!

I wonder if I can get extra credit in my writing class if I happen to mention it's a possibility I've contributed a bit for a novel...

LOL I'm glad you're pleased! And I have no idea about the extra credit thing. It will probably carry more weight when you can show your professor the published work with your name in it as a contributor to the project!
And I'm hoping to have something ready for a "first edit" by May at the latest.
