YAY! I'm so glad the Adoption Society threads helped you! I think they're very underrated. I see mostly the same people there over and over. I think everyone should check them out. Be sure to check the Adopt a Romantic Moment when you are investigating your romantic ideas. Those threads are open all year, so if you don't finish in November, don't sweat it. You can check them for months and months to come until you have everything you need to finish your story--November or not.

Also, I was told that if you finish Prep, even if you've missed the timer, you still get some sort of reward. I don't know what it is and if you have to finish all 31 entries by the 31st, but you can ask.

Good luck and I'm so glad to hear that not only you aren't giving up, but that I also helped. I'm excited for your story ideas!
