Please remember that your work should bear the title you were given! That was the challenge here, but I'm sorry it was apparently unclear. I've been sending PMs to those in question, and will keep doing so where possible, but it'd be a great help if you could take note of this when posting. Thanks!

The collection will open in roughly eleven hours, so this is also the very last call for submissions!

I think I may have misunderstood. It's use the title-prompt as the title of the fic? I thought it was work the title-prompt into the fic itself.

Yep, I misunderstood and used both of the titles you gave me as prompts within this fic. Neither title is one that suits this fic in toto, so I'm not going to pull one of them from the body of the fic to use as a title, and subsequently I won't be qualifying for posting this fic to the challenge collection.

But I want to stress that this is okay with me and that you did something very good for me when you presented this challenge. Working on this fic brought me much happy distraction and creative joy during all those long hours I was at the hospital this week, plus the titles you offered got me to write a first fic for a fandom I have long loved but had never written fic of it before.

And even one more thing about what's good with my not trying to get something posted today: my spouse was supposed to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, but the discharge has now been moved up to today, and as a result I'm going to have less online time today than I expected to have...so it's timely for me to have one less online obligation today.

It will probably be September already by the time I actually post this fic to my AO3. When I do, I will certainly mention you and Event Central as my inspiration.

No current confusion, plus I want to say again it's all good. There is not one single bad thing and lots of good things that have come out of my writing for this challenge -- the only thing not happening is that I'm not adding it to the collection because it doesn't qualify -- but the really important and great thing is that because of this challenge I've had and am having a great ficcing experience at a time that it is especially meaningful.

Thank you kindly for the good wishes for my spouse (who we expect will be discharged from the hospital and get to come home tomorrow) and your continuing encouragement for this fic which I expect to post to AO3 in a week or so when things have settled down a bit at home.

I'm a member of and tracking posts on bethefirst, and I might not make it for the September flash round, but I have got a plotbunny for a movie from 1989 that has no fanworks and for which I've been wanting to make a fanwork -- a vid or a fic -- for years, so I might not make it for September but I will make it.

I'm so sorry for what sounds like nitpicking, but I figured I would ask: is it acceptable if I use the full title I was given but add a parenthetical to make my work's title?
