If you find out which body runs it, you should be able to contact them for the answers to at least some of your questions.I'm working on my new thing - coming up to the 10 k mark, which isn't bad. But I'm frustrated. I set it in a place I visited this summer - Glenveagh Castle, in Co Donegal - and now I need to know all sorts of things about it. Like does it close in really awful weather. And how the steps around a particular area are laid out.

That's bad luck and you have my commisserations. Have the same issue with a long contemporary fantasy except real life caught up - wrote it years ago and have updated it a few times to keep the technology contemporary but it features, among other contemporary happenings, mass migration into Europe though not due to wars etc ....So remember that time when the 89k novel you drafted five years ago (apr 13th 2012 according to the word count thread over in the Workshop) needs to be rethought because you watched the trailer for the new Jennifer Lawrence film?
