Time's Up!

[sarken]

The 11:59 PM Eastern deadline has passed! If you submitted your story but did not get a reply from mondaythird @ gmail.com, that means you should re-submit as soon as possible. Pinch-hits are due by 8:00 PM Eastern on Monday (what time is that?).

If you have not completed your assignment and did not drop out, this may make you ineligible for future rounds of Third Monday. However, next year's moderators will probably look the other way as long as you submit your story before the All Posted announcement goes up Tuesday.

Stories will be posted throughout the day tomorrow. Since this is a secret exchange, please don't post your story elsewhere or reply to feedback until after authors are revealed on February 28. Readers, you will need to join the community to read the stories. You can do this with your LJ name or OpenID or you can create a Dreamwidth account -- for the week of Febraury 21 - Febrauary 28, no invitation code is required.

If there are any problems, comments on this post are screened and our inbox is open.

Author: willwrite_fortea
Author's note: I gave the prompt a small steampunk twist, credit to the use of the word 'aeronaut.' It made me think of Rachel up in flying machines along the city's skyline. The story sort of wove around that. A big thank you to my beta, Jess, who was very patient and put a lot of thought into her part.
