[NOTE: I am so so SO sorry this is posting late... Wednesday sort of escaped from me. If it's already Thursday, get writing!! Seriously... VERY apologetic!!]
This is your CHECK IN POST!
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!
1 ! The war begins as of Midnight, the START of Thursday, August 1st 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 Sunday, August 4th according to your local time. You will have FOUR AWESOME DAYS of writing.

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 weekend, just jump in whenever you can and do any amount of writing in order to qualify.

Projects To Be Worked On: cliche fest fic (finish and send to beta!), tropes fic once that's done
Other Goals? i write out of sequence and right now what i have left to do are the transitional and character growth things between the Events, so my main goal is just turning what i have now into a cohesive whole. also i want to work the secondary characters in a little more, as the focus right now is very much only h/d.
Anything To Share? glad this word war is happening while i have a thing to finish, so i can check in and feel like i'm getting somewhere each day :)
