2013 NEW YEAR'S WRITING MEME

Happy New Year, hd_writers! In celebration of the New Year and 2013, we invite you to complete our retrospective year-in-review writing meme. Strut your stuff, toot your own horn, and sing your writing praises by sharing your meme with your fellow H/D writers here on the community journal. The year-in-review meme is thorough and fun, and we hope you'll enjoy filling it out. We want to hear about your writing and creativity, and while we invite you to post your meme to the community, you are, of course, free to post it to your own journal. We hope you'll leave a link in the comments to this post if you decide to post the meme only to your personal LJ. Crossposting here at hd_writers and your LJ is totally fine. We encourage and invite your participation. Just copy and paste the template below into a new entry, fill it out, and post. Enjoy!

Just a reminder that we are still accepting Mod Applications!

We are gearing up for a fantastic year at hd_writers and we are looking for people who are excited about both writing and encouraging others in their writing and who have both the time and excitement to dedicate to the community!

If you'd like to throw your hat in the ring, we'd love to have your ideas and inspiration!

Celebrate!

Are you staying in tonight to welcome the new year? Stop by the hd_writers chat room for a virtual party and enjoy some virtual cookies and hot buttered rum!

And if you're trying to close out the year with more words for the word war, don't forget that the srs chatzy room is open for word wars! Even if I'm not writing, I'll be there to crack the whip and cheer folks on.

If you're heading out, be safe and have a lovely night, and we'll see you next year!

If you're already in the new year, come by and wave hello from the future!
