READY! GET SET! GO!!!!

[tryslora]

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 Friday, September 13th 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 Monday, September 16th 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 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.

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 Tuesday, September 17th).

8 ! ALL WORDS ARE AWESOME WORDS! Good luck everyone!

Projects To Be Worked On: S.S down because for real I have been slacking on my writing this week. A good bite of abiteoffcenter done. Oh and the reward fics too.
Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever)? Need major butt kicking but you all wont know we I sneak onto tumblr (never should have joined I know I was in for trouble
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc.)? nope, not now.....not looking at tumblr

So tumblr is bad? I joined it yesterday...I should hide from it?

[tryslora]

Tumblr is wonderful and evil and will eat your time for dinner, dessert, a midnight snack, and keep you up until it eats your time for breakfast, too.

Oh my, then I guess it is good that I am only following two things right now. Yes...a very good thing.

[tryslora]

...wait until you discover the searching and tracking tags functionality...

[cyn-ful.livejournal.com]

Oh they have that too? Oh I'm in danger. I can't look at it. Let me graduate from Hogwarts...then I can peek. yes, I can peek then.

[tryslora]

Finish Hogwarts, yes, then investigate searching tags on tumblr. Definitely a plan!

[cyn-ful.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes. We are starting to look into tumblr at HiH too. So, I should investigate to see what is going on there. Yeah, my homework so to speak.

I get so caught in reading everything, but they have some great things for writing. I can send you links if want

[cyn-ful.livejournal.com]

Hehehe - you are so evil. Of course I want links!
