Obvious, I know. Just don't have it in me to work and output 500 words a day. You might get some out of me now and then.

http://strawpoll.me/179154 ! Go, vote early, vote often! Read the ten below, pick the best!

Slight change: I was going to do Sling Bullets on the weekend, but I just can't quite do the seven a week working full time (I am le tired. (OK, then have a nap then FIRE ALL ZE MISSILES!)) So I'll be doing Sling Bullets all week next week instead. So new-new-results will be the pattern.

This fortnight's theme: Crossroads

So, after an amazing win by a single vote, Sling Bullets ( http://www.furaffinity.net/view/10893693/ ) is the winner of the first fortnight, and will get extended. Thanks for reading, folks. New vote July 12th, and the longer Sling Bullets will start getting released that weekend.

Keep reading the daily 500s, though, as we're halfway through a second fortnight! Next week, roads!

So, I've written 5,000 words in 10 stories as follows:

http://strawpoll.me/140734 is the voting location. I'll expand the one that gets the most votes by July 5th. 'Til then, keep reading for usual 500 word updates! This fortnight: Crossroads!

So, I've officially started something today, which I'm calling "500 Words." Basically, I'm going to produce 500 words a day, five days a week. Every two weeks, I'll put the ten I've written up for a vote of which one's the best. The one that people actually like will get expanded to five times it's size, 2500 words, which I'll work on the weekends to do. Then, after there's ten 2500 word chapters, I'll put those up for a vote, where the best gets expanded to 12,500 words (which will probably stop production for a little bit). Much, much later, I'll have ten of those, and with a final vote...well, I'll novelize the winner.

Basically, I want to practice, and I'm hoping to use Sturgeon's Law (90% of everything is crap) to make a novel that isn't complete crap. I hope you follow along, and vote and comment and cheer the good ones. Here's to the journey of a thousand steps started.

I'll probably rank these soonish, but just something I was working on for no good reason...
