Any suggestions for additional rules? Other than the ones already required by the site, of course?

I suggest December 10th, myself.

I'm trying to get a laptop by christmas so I can start writing again, however a competition may give me an excuse to get back into the swing of creative writing, so..maybe.

I think we shouldn't allow characters that have been created by other authors. You can use similar characters and characters based on them, but there should be some level of originality. No Batman, but there can be a Batman-esque hero (or villain).

That sound okay to everyone?

I always have really good ideas for books. Plenty of room for character development, suspense, action, etc, etc. But whenever i try to write them the characters seems sort of hollow and I can't really find the time to write more than a few paragraphs a day.
On a side-note, I'm waiting for Christopher Paolini's new book to come out.
it is my firm belief that I should never have to justify my beliefs.
