hd_writers are welcome to participate! Invite your friends to join in! 3- Use this time to work on your writing - any project, any pairing, any fandom! You do not have to be writing Harry/Draco fic in order to participate. Any and all creative writing counts!
4- The hd_writers chatroom is there as always to serve as inspiration and encouragement, as well as the SrsBzns chatroom. Please try to stay on the topic of writing as much as possible this weekend! The SrsBzns room should be focused strictly on timed word wars without the additional chat. For inspiration, writing talk, encouragement, etc please visit the main room.
5- You don't have to participate the entire weekend, just jump in whenever you can and do any amount of writing in order to qualify.
6- Remember to check back in with your final, ending word count within approximately 24 hours after the war ends!
7- Prizes will be awarded at the end of the war! We're doing things a little differently this time! So be sure to set your own goals at the start of the war and then tell us how you did at the end!
8- GO WRITE GO! Good luck everyone!
PS: Sorry for the confusion on the times! Apparently 6pm GMT is actually 12pm CST! So, for some of you this starting post may be coming an hour earlier than you expected!
