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!

Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever)?My biggest goal is to get myself working on Changing Faces.

Sleeping is for people without deadlines! ;)

[xonceinadream]

Thank you! But goodness it is not a good idea. I feel like I'm eating, breathing and sleeping those right now. Fortunately I have good ideas going on for them.

[cyn-ful.livejournal.com]

Exactly!

[tryslora]

You can do it!! Any idea how long you want the final piece to be?

[tryslora]

SIX?? Holy crap! I'm struggling with just having two due around the same time, and a whole bunch of other assignments waiting in the wings behind them. Good luck!

[tryslora]

You can do it!

[tryslora]

Excellent! I hope to see you there!

[tryslora]

Yay fluff! Hopefully you can find some time for words between the travels.

[tryslora]

You can do it!
