h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Yes, you are.

You have now nine days until the deadline.

Ok, guess I'll get started on that today.

That's great.

I looked over the articals and think I have and good ideas for incorparting the wizard and clothes articals into the plot and for just sort of jamming the double bass in there without sounding too akward no clue what to do with the other two though but I still got 9 days to think

I'm sure you'll get some ideas while writing, at least, that's what happened when I wrote, but then everybody has a different working method.

Good news, benjamin: there' a sparkling new badge on your personal space now.

I agree with what Bel said. Actually, personally I used a sort of join-the-dots method. If you pick three or four of the topics and link them in the plot, like, I don't know, we go to one, we use one, we see one, or something, and then you can just mention the others in the conversation. Actually I find it helps with the creative aspect of the plot and leaves you free to focus on the actual wording, which may be why we've had some excellent writing in this series so far.

I have to agree, I found it helped a lot to have some stories to base your episode on as well as the entries to give some more ideas. Btw, don't know if you've seen it, but we have a volunteer for episode nine. http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/F10431975?thread=5589597

I missed that. Forgot to subcribe to all conversations but then, as you know, I had a busy day thursday. Cracking, one more sucker to go.

Great, isn't it? Must be some mastermind behind it all, plotting.

Nah, there's no masterminds around here. I've been conducting some cunning and subtle investigations.

Oh yes, as subtle as a sledgehammer.

The sledgehammer was just a bluff.

It was? Then why don't I feel as if it wasn't?

That's all part of the bluff. It's very cunning.

Very cunning - a bit like a fox, really.

by the way should I write the story as an entry or text file on my pc or what?

As a text file would be best.

Beowulf, the deadline is nigh - have you finished your story?

"we are 'only' the Post editors, we can't apply the badges"

So does benjaminpmoore have to stick them onto his own screen then?!
