It's time for another Word War! Spread the news; all fandoms and pairings are welcome. Whatever you need to write, we celebrate your words!
Get your pencils ready, find your favorite notebooks and pens, and wiggle those typing fingers to get them limbered up. The war is upon us! This is going to be a long one, so make sure you're ready and settled in and ready. Grab snacks, grab water (no dehydration) and settle in for the long haul...
1 ! The war begins as of Midnight, the START of Wednesday, April 24th according to your local time. If I've calculated correctly, this post should be up in plenty of time that even the time travelers on the other side of the world will be able to start at the beginning of their own day!
2 ! The war ends as of Midnight, the END of Tuesday, April 30th according to your local time. You will have ONE WHOLE INCREDIBLE WEEK 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 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 during the word 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.
6 ! 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.
7 ! Remember to check back in with your final, ending word count within approximately 24 hours after the war ends! (We would appreciate if you could check back in with your final word count by the end of your day on Wednesday, May 1st).
8 ! ALL WORDS ARE AWESOME WORDS! 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)? How about get a rough draft of Owned finished and most of Pairings written?
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc.)? I'm still a little stunned at myself for signing up for that many words, lol, especially since I think Pairings might top out at only 3k or so. I'm also now torn between holding off the muse until tomorrow or writing more today, because I've been on a bit of a kick and already done almost a thousand words in the past two hours. Thanks for doing another one of these! I'm psyched (and scared)! ;-)

Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc.)? I would like random comments, texts, emails, tweets, FB messages and owlpost asking if I've done 20k yet. Because, really, I will use those as yet another means of procrastination. *headdesk*

Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever)? Write some smut, because I'm still all too shy about doing so, even though the one sexy fic I've managed to post had a good reception.

Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever)? The HP Fandom ones have actually started and I'm pleased with their progress and storylines. The Cap/Iron Man one...hmmm, not so awesome. It's a reverse bang, so I'm working off someone's art. Not something I've done before.

Other Goals: Just getting over myself and writing without constantly stopping and looking things up and getting up and snacking and wandering around and being totally ADHD
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc.)? I already have 41,958 words written (well, as of last night, which was my starting point... I've done about 500 words since then). I really just want to finish this thing but I'm afraid I'm only about halfway through. But, hopefully this will give me a boost to have this goal.

Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever)? I NEED TO FINISH THEM BOTH UNTIL THE MONTH'S OVER. okay? I'm sort of freaking out about that because I hate everything about my mpreg fic right now and always I start I delete it more than write. ugh. *frustrated*
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc.)? Also until Thursday I got to write ten page paper on Sports in TV history and I love the theme (because sports are awesome) yet there's no time. and argh these fics. and let's not talk about this week's exam. and besides I'm both excited and freaking out about my trip to London that's next week and oh god, I'm so unprepared.
Somebody just kick my ass or send inspiration my way, otherwise I'll get sidetracked by star trek and snooker and won't even turn up on the exam or smth.
I didn't mean to let my frustration to ran away from me like this, just. Write everyone! I know you can do this! *\o/*
