Secretary Competition update

[janedavitt]

For the first time since December 15, it's just the four of us (plus two furry felines) in the house. It feels oddly quiet and empty and I'm sure tomorrow when D is at work and L and E are at school I shall feel a bit strange. It was lovely to have both sets of grandparents here and for the snow to be reasonably well-behaved.

But it's always nice to get back to normal, no matter how much fun the holidays are, and I've missed all of you ::hugs::

I have stuff to do - lots of it - but something said today reminded me of the secretary_fic total number count competition, the prize being a Sec-based drabble from each of us, that I set up in October. As the fic is drawing to an end :;whimper::, I decided to run an update. There are thirteen people left in the running and the total word count to date is 545,402 so it's not going to take many more chapters to knock some more names off the list I'm afraid ::regretful look:;

Here's the list:

shepenwepet -- 552,367
paige_eliz -- 567,890
desoto_hia873 – 582333
nikitangel -- 600,002
swmbo -- 702535
cheesygirl – 712568
thefourthvine -- 742058
kristinholt -- 750,000
murielle -- 856,992
empressvesica -- 860,729
luvsbitch -- 983,450
knitmeapony -- 998286
laurelin_kit -- 100,000 words

I hope whoever wins is someone who actually reads it, or the drabbles won't make much sense! ::g:: I can't say where it will end up even this close to the finish though. You know how we can manage to make one day last eight chapters...
