Thought I would post this weekend until I realized I had somehow written 3909 words! I don't even know where that came from. Currently hunting down 1 word as I'm at 1701 words. Seriously.

Previously: Jada Greene is the daughter of the Governor and also a member of the guard force employed to keep the Reds subdued and out of the city. When her father declares war on the Reds he sends out teams to strike the suspected Red camps. Jada, however is involved in a shooting incident that resulted in her waking up in hospital days later. She is horrified to discover she’s been taken to a makeshift Red hospital, deep within enemy territory. Her “captors” claim that they had to take her there to save her life but she’s convinced it was intentional kidnap, and that they’re trying to recruit her to their cause which seems to be to over-throw the government. After making it obvious that her loyalties lie with her father and her city her “captors” Olivia (who says she’s not red but counts reds among her family) and Rurik agree to let her go. Just as she’s ready to leave, Olivia plays to Jada’s curious side, indicating that she knows more about Jada than she’s let on. Also, just as a reminder, GI = Genome Interrogator (the proximity detection device used to determine if someone has the red gene or not). |

Yay, I did get it finished yesterday like I said I would, just didn't get it posted :/ Just wanted to say that all the red "facts" that I mention throughout the story are real things written about gingers by people on the internet, lol. Some are obviously just bullshit but others are genuinely historical beliefs that people have held. I personally have not made up any of Jada's beliefs, they're all out there online, beliefs that other's have held or made up! |

woah, that was Aristotle's beliefs, not mine! lol I just thought it was bizarre, the amount of random stuff people have made up/believed about gingers and the fact that it's been throughout history, not just since SouthPark! For a minute there I was doubting whether my character's beliefs were to extreme to be believable but then I re-looked at some of my research and realised, nope...people are this fucked in the head!

My grandmother was a red head. One year when she was a kid her teacher would tease and humiliate her. He even paddled her every single day just for having red hair! |

See, people aren't right in the head!! lol. Your poor Gran. Red heads nowadays think they have it bad but I think things were a hell-of-a-lot worse in the days when it was more acceptable to settle your differences/make your opinion known with violence :/ Out of curiosity, what country was your Gran's school in? Scotland and then Ireland have the highest percentage of red heads in the world but most of the craziest beliefs I've found online have come from outside of the UK and Ireland. Though I think in the UK they were generally seen as bad luck. PS Qnshr, you could very well have the red gene *gets out her Genome Interrogator and silver-tipped, wooden flechette pistol* |

Kylara, having been adopted in a blood ritual by Lord Alfric, was dragged back in time to recover the Crown of the Master before her professor, who is apparently not human, could use her class to disarm the traps around it. When they arrived, he dug up some "expendable" clothing for her to wear, and then gave her a flower and some jewelry which he said would mark her as his apprentice, and taught her a pass phrase and countersign. Just as they were leaving, he told her that someone was coming and then vanished. Current Events: What did you use this chapter? Finding Judas, Kidnapped, Previous Events: Makeover, Time Travel Word Count: 1696 CC Used: Allowed: Legend Isles Lyonesse world by Sookielee, Euphoria Skin by Fawkes, ear sliders by Cmar |

Remember last chapter when I had my ghost reading the contents of a locked safe by walking through walls? I didn't quite realize how accurate that was. Never try to hide a sleeping bag, martial arts dummy, or bookcase from a ghost by putting it on the other side of a barricade. It took me long enough to get the timing right on those pictures that I decided not to try re-doing them. (At least I have all the mooched food out of them.) (And speaking of mooched food, Kylara mooched a tv dinner from "Professor Greymane", a bowl of cereal from the living Lord Alfric, another tv dinner from the ghost, and then bowl of soup from the ghost. ALL autonomously, and all when I was trying to get her to do something else. And then her "stuffed" moodlet told ME not to make her eat when she is full!) BTW, I know I have the red gene. My hair is brown, but it has a lot of red running through it.

Okay, I'd like to know how many missing entries are people that are in need of an extension. By my count, we are still missing 5 entries. I can offer the same "deal" I did before: post in the next 24 hours, receive full marks, post in between 24 and 48 and lose one point off your compiled score. However, I will only do that if I know that most missing entries are working in good faith to get the round in. I don't want to hold everyone else up for only 1 entry. |

I wish you said that before I stayed up till 3am and abusing people in chat >.< [Edit] Heaven, Maybe you could PM the people who want the next round on the deadline time, then the people who have not finished dont know the next round. But the people who got it done on time don't get put out either. |

I was the one to disagree with your post, Heaven. You already offered an extension for the last round, and I don't think its fair to those of us who worked extra hard to get our entries in on time. If you have to add any extension at all I think it should immediately have points off instead of a free day of no points deducted. To Camp: Thanks for the worry, hun, but even if I only get a day to write my entire round 4 entry I'll get it in. Worst case scenario I can write on the plane and post from a Starbucks before my ship leaves. ... They have Starbucks in New Orleans, right? |

After some consideration, I have decided that Reya (and anyone else thinking it but not saying it) is right about offering a "free" extension being unfair to those who have pushed to get the entry in on time. Therefore, no free extension will be offered. Therefore, you have until the end of the timer to get your entry in without a deduction in points. However, I -will- offer a 24 hour buffer for those needing the extra time but the -1 point will be incurred immediately. This is the 3rd round and the 3rd extension granted. On that note, I will not be offering an extension, points deducted or not for the next 2 rounds. |

Previously on: After confronting the diabolical "Company", Suzanna Trench has indeed liberated her friend Bram Adams, but has also put herself way in over her head. Now, now only is there a secret plot to be had, her old friend is back to harp about her fashion sense. Good thing that Valentina Victor is also an informant or else our hero wouldn't be able to stand her long enough to hear what she has to say. Current Plot Points: Finding Judas, Meet Cute. Previous Plot Points: The Cake was a Lie, Move Heaven and Earth. Word Count: 1,634 Custom Content: You would be hard pressed to find something allowed... NOTE: The exert from the previous chapter (which is located above the first picture) is not included in the word count (which I managed to nail! Who knew cleaning up sloppy sentence structure could knock so many words off? |

Okay, Round 3 is now closed for full scored entries. Any contestants still missing entries have 24 hours to submit got a one point deduction from their overall score. Any entries after the 24 extension will receive a 0 for Round 3. |

Thanks, heaven. Honestly, I have a feeling I may have to withdraw sometime in the next couple of rounds... *cringes* I'll still try my damnedest, but I'm on vacation and away from the gaming computer as of the 17th for a week, and I've just been handed the Sunday-Thursday night shift until further notice. Not sure that it's going to work out in combination with my judging duties for Q. I sowwy. I'll be sure to let you know ASAP.

Ahhh! I completely forgot, I'm really sorry, I've been busy preparing for my holiday in 2 1/2 days. I feel like such an Idiot, i was gonna try and fit in chapt 4 before I left, and then I'd have time when i got back (in 2 weeks) to do chapter 5. If it was just writing I'd probably be able to do it but I'm such a novice at picture taking that it takes me ages. I'll try and do Chapt 3 & 4 in the next two days, but dont hold me to it. I'm really sorry. what I was going to do |

*hoping to outrun bullet* lol. I think I would be in a lot of trouble in your story. I don't have red hair, but my youngest brother was born with it. He had the really bright kind, but it darkened when he was a kid to a brown. My grandma was from rural Indiana, USA. I'm not sure what the views here on red heads in general were at the time (early 1930s). I never thought to ask her how old the teacher was. He might have been old & old school. That was the only story she told about any kind of violence over her hair. Everything else was teasing. She got her hair from her German grandfather.' |
