I'm late! I had promised to run a word war for a week, and I got so involved in the holidays I forgot to get it started. SO. INSTEAD. Get your pens out and wiggle your typing fingers, because we are starting one ASAP.
1 ! The war begins as of Midnight, the START of Saturday, December 29th according to your local time. If you're a time traveler in the future, start writing and keeping track!
2 ! The war ends as of Midnight, the END of Tuesday, January 1st according to your local time. You will have four awesome days of writing!
3 ! 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

hd_writers are welcome to participate! Invite your friends to join in!4 ! Use this time to work on your writing - any project, any pairing, any fandom! You do not have to be writing a Harry/Draco fic in order to participate. Any and all creative writing counts!
5 ! 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.
6 ! 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.
7 ! Remember to check back in with your final, ending word count within approximately 24 hours after the war ends!
8 ! ALL WORDS ARE AWESOME WORDS! Good luck everyone!
