Okay, I was just wondering if the Blue Collar fanfic challenge was still going, because I only just found out about it, and, well...I feel slightly left out Okay, make that quite left out - I would really have liked to be participating from the beginning. Could someone possibly point me in its general direction, please?

I just got an email from her--I don't know that it was a big all encompassing thing. I believe she just had a short-list of authors she was contacting, sort of keeping it small. Don't feel left out! And heck, if you're feeling inspired, write one anyway!

I am writing one, but I am quite upset about being left out. I believe that there's a word that perfectly describes this sort of thing - ELITIST.

Well, I suppose you are entitled to your opinion and you have every right to it.
However, she has a right to ask whoever she wants and they in turn can join or not join the challenge. If she only wanted certain writers then that's up to her. Maybe she wanted to keep it small because she'd have to create a site for them once it was over. I doubt she planned on alienating anyone out there.

I hardly think it was elitist... she just contacted writers that she knew.

She really didn't mean to insult anyone. She just asked people whose fiction she'd read, which was limited, because I don't think she reads a lot of Hanfic. Plus, since she wanted Lily to do illustrations for it, she had to keep it extra-small, otherwise poor Lily's hand would fall off. So maybe there will be a round II or something sometime in the future, since there seems to be a lot of interest in this sort of challenge.

Hey, you can take my place if you want - I turned her down because I got no time to write anymore this round. Seriously, don't feel bad. It's probably like one of those times in elementary school, when someone's mom bakes cookies or cupcakes for their kid's birthday, but they're aren't enough for everyone because they counted wrong, and then whoever doesn't get one takes it personally but really it's just an honest mistake.
(Wow, that was a long metaphor. Sorry! But you know what I mean, right?)
