I already have a new password but I also have ended up with a new space

did you use the same user name? Looks like you may have created a new user. Try changing that to something else and clicking on the link above and put in the user number (the one posted there is your original one) to get the password reset.

Hello

Can someone explain to me what in tarnation is actually going on? I was directed here by someone leaving a message at my Personal Space and told to come here.

I'm a bit lost

Zag

OK the plan so far.

We want to start writing an online novel. Story, characters and settings have yet to be decided (which is what the online meet is for). We decided that everyone who wants to write the story should put together an approximately 1000 word story based on the phrase No Carrier. This is to judge writing styles and areas of strength.

Several people have put down to be proofreaders and editors as well, and the list is the nearly complete list of all those who have volunteered so far.

Hope this clarifies things for you

KJ

Right, OK. I'll look at this thread a little harder and get back to you.

This thread is mainly for agreeing the time for the meet, the actual outline is at A1072234

whats this about the story being about the phrace No Carrier?

We kind of decided in the origional thread that we should do a practice story to try and see what sort of style each others writing is, and to spot obvious strengths (characterisation, scene setting etc)
Also we could maybe get things from these stories that could be used in the project itself.

When you say GMT do you actually mean GMT or do you mean what all the clocks in Britain actually say at the moment which is BST?

So thats Saturday 5th of July at midday GMT, right?

is perth 7 or 8 hours ahead? i am a bit skeptic on that, cause i have seen both, one on here, that other somewhere else, so could somebody please clarify

Actually I don't think I'm going to be able to make the chat. Assuming that I get the story done and am in could somebody post a summary of what was said on my space?

The summary will be posted here, so don't worry.

Excuse me while my head hurts

If going by GMT you're 8 hours ahead
If BST you're 7 hours ahead, as BST is an hour ahead of GMT

I definitely can't make the 5th now though, I'll be in Skye by then

i think my involvement will have to be restricted to a subbing and continuity checking type thing as i am in danger of overcomitting myself and would rather not let anyone down. I need to concentrate on getting my uni project finished asap.
This doesnt mean i am not interested or backing out - just think i should do what i can cope with and get that right.
