Posting will end this Friday, September first, at 11:59 PM EDT. That means you have five days and almost four hours left to work! There are seven works in the main collection and four works in the detours collection right now. As a reminder, the main collection will close when posting ends, but the detours collection will remain open.

Optional Discussion Questions:

1. Is your story planning complete? If you like to plan, do you plan out the end before you start, or do you stay just a few steps ahead?

2. Writers: what POV (first/second/third) tense do you prefer? Do you always stick with the same ones, or do you like to switch it up? What about swapping character POVs within the story? Comic artists: do you include a lot of narration, or do you like to stick to art and dialogue? What about comics with no dialogue?

3. What sort of scene do you think makes the best story opening?
