Big Finish writing opportunity

[ghost2]

Everyone knows about this chance to develop a Fifth Doctor & Nyssa audio story, right? Who all is submitting something? I decided I might as well give it a try. Of course, first I have to come up with a good idea and then flesh it out, revise, proofread, and all of that.

I already printed out and read the instructions, which seem very straightforward: don't do this, format like this, etc. As long as I follow directions, I figure my submission won't land in the bin on the first round. If I use spellcheck and proofread, it should make it past the second round as well. Other than that, well, I think I'd better start brainstorming and come up with a great concept.

Also, in reading the BF boards, I'm a bit amazed that people are having so much trouble holding their summaries to five hundred words. That's the length of a decent ficlet!

Yup, I saw it, and I'm giving it a go, though I've never written Nyssa before. (Been listening to some of the Nyssa & Five BFAs though, to get her voice in my head.)

My summary's under 400 words.

Yes, getting the voices right will be key. I'm glad the concept is for Five & Nyssa, because I really like them plus I recently listened to Castle of Fear and wrote a Nyssa ficlet I thought turned out well enough.

I don't think I'll have a problem holding my summary to under five hundred words! I'm aiming for a minimum of three hundred, so that it isn't too short, either.

*nods* I had listened to the first couple of audios in the Stockbridge trilogy when it was announced, and really enjoyed the Five & Nyssa dynamic (which I hadn't explored until that point), so it was rather uncanny timing...

My summary is just over 300 words.
