This one is really, really hard! These two absolutely deserve to be the finalists, in my opinion. I very much want to read the endings of both stories. Is there a chance you could let them finish the stories before we vote for the winner? That seems only fair. On “Survivor” there are always two, now three, finalists who get to speak for themselves. Without the endings, we cannot be fair judges.

True, true, but what kind of a reality show would this be if there were fair judges? Ha! You’re right, but the contest has been pitched from the beginning as one where only one contestant completes the novella. Also, it would render this poll meaningless. But I’m all for all the runner ups to finish their novellas so they can be posted on the site after December 4th.

I’ve made it this far so I plan on finishing the novella whether in public or privately. If anything, I need to just for the closure!

I won’t even pretend the video may be up in the next 24 hours. I’m aiming for Wednesday the
15th25th. If it’s not up then, it will be up on what we who are not Native Americans cheerfully refer to as Thanksgiving.I give up on trying to make deadlines. I’ll leave that to the contestants. Hosting does come with privileges (and clearly, abuses).
November 24th, 2009 at 2:51 am
HAHAHAHA Shocking honesty, Host!
November 24th, 2009 at 6:06 am
Did you mean the 25th? Or are you attempting some time travel this time? (this would not surprise me after what I’ve seen you do in some of your videos…)
November 24th, 2009 at 8:17 am
Possibly, Host means the 15th of December?
Or maybe January… (c:
November 24th, 2009 at 12:46 pm
Yes, I meant 25th!
Thanks for the extension, littlestar, but I’ll shoot for November.
November 24th, 2009 at 3:56 pm
forget then “shoot” Host. we want the finished, fully edited product! hehe
having said that as far as my view of the other 4th Fictioners goes I would quite like to see them unedited, capish ( as defined by the urban slang dictionary – Italian slang for “Your alternative is death. Do you understand?”)

y’know annabones, everytime I see your photo/avatar I think – my, my what is going on there. Now that the end is nigh might you enlighten me? Are you perhaps wearing shades and holding a camera?
November 24th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
lol Tetra. The picture was taken by a photographer friend, I am wearing vintage 60′s blue sunglasses and being silly for the camera.
People tell me I am quite silly so I guess the avatar suits me!
(I’m sure they mean it in an endearing way though. I like to think I verge on corky more than I do on silly!). :S
November 25th, 2009 at 12:06 pm
I am suitably enlightened
BTW I could be a christmas trees in shock after my electric lights short circuited…
or I could be on Host’s video…
November 27th, 2009 at 6:28 am
I always wondered, too! *also happily enlightened*
November 27th, 2009 at 7:30 am
I thought they were swimming goggles!
November 25th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
I’m anticipating I’ll be finished with the video tomorrow, Thanksgiving Day. Or probably more like Thanksgiving Late Night. So much for breaking with tradition and posting on time.
Many thanks for the videos and photos from all of you. I can’t wait to put this compilation together.
November 25th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
Host, take an extra day to make the video; Thanksgiving isn’t a day for spending in front of the computer! I for one don’t plan to even turn it on.
May you all have a happy and hearty Thanksgiving.
November 26th, 2009 at 11:18 am
manyana manyana
Host, I think its in the genes
November 26th, 2009 at 8:20 pm
I’ve been doing everything possible to finish this video but the beast just won’t be subdued. The goal is to get the video up before I sleep tonight, but if sunrise comes around, my apologies, but I’ll have to continue when I wake up.
The winner (TBA) of Coco and Utah will have until
JanuaryDecember 4th to post the final entry so even if the video isn’t up until tomorrow, that still leaves a solid week to write the final entry.November 26th, 2009 at 11:14 pm
JANUARY 4TH????!!!
Torture!!
November 26th, 2009 at 8:49 pm
Host, for God’s sake – GO TO SLEEP!
It’s thanksgiving, you should be eating pumpkin pie! We’ll wait…
After all, this one must be THE video!
November 26th, 2009 at 9:10 pm
And… you meant December 4th, right?
(See – lack of sleep does this!)
November 26th, 2009 at 11:13 pm
Thank you, Renata! Yes I meant December 4th and yes it’s from lack of sleep! I need more for this video than the ten minutes that YouTube allows…
November 26th, 2009 at 11:18 pm
Phew!!! Breathing with relief now…
November 27th, 2009 at 7:37 am
I *was* joking when I mentioned posting the video in January, you know (c:
Take your time. Enjoy your holidays.
November 27th, 2009 at 10:05 am
Its 27th today – three days past! Ok so now I understand what Fourth Night means. It mean fourth night of waiting!
November 26th, 2009 at 9:41 pm
what to do with all the extra turkey
November 26th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
I was like a jab to the end of the nose – a light pop, enough to make your eyes water and your throat lump – when the wishbone broke to far to the left. Here, wishes come true to often, and here, our wishes are crafted with purpose. To lose a wish is a rough bump, but to lose one to Falo was more. Falo did, of course, get what he wished for. He is a good puller of wishbones. He is not a good wisher, though, and this time it hurt us all.
November 27th, 2009 at 12:10 am
Alice,
Comment 1: Eat it.
Comment 2: Does this Falo fellow know you are proclaiming him a good puller of wishbones? He may not like it.
November 27th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Host,
if you have any control over who can post and who can’t, and you damn well ought to have, maybe you can do something about alice? i mean, what in the bleepedy bleep was that all about? the metaphorical jab to the nose… here’s wishing for the real deal.
and hey, isn’t there s’posed to be a video due in sometime?
