1- The war begins now, and will continue until Wednesday, June 6, 6pm GMT for 72 hours of writing.
2- To participate, please check-in with a comment below. You may also post your beginning word counts in order to help you keep track of your progress. All members of Lj user="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 for the duration of this war! 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 war, 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!

Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever)? A lot of it is going to be plotting things out (for the hptt) and messing around with POV and voice for nexgen....SnarryBB will be spent re-reading and then editing like crazy...I've got 5 or 6 scenes I need to re-insert and fix up some dialogue.

“Would you like to talk about it?”
“Dunno,” he mutters like the mutinous teenager he is. “I just—fuck.”
“Please tell me we don’t have to have the sex talk, because frankly, I am not ready to give that sort of advice.” Teddy feels as uncomfortable as he is sure he looks.
“No, it’s just,” he trails off again. “You know—sometimes I don’t realise how lonely I am, you know?” Teddy does know. He knows rather well actually—he’s been lonely his whole life, and only on the rare occasion is that loneliness not trying to scratch under his skin and seep into his bones. Teddy’s the kind of person who can feel lonely in a room full of people.
“I understand,” he says and he wonders if Toby can tell he means it. The silence that drifts between them is charged and Teddy looks up, saying, “Tell me about her.”
“Who,” Toby looks around as if there is supposed to be some clue written in the air.
“Your mother.”
