72 Hour Word War - Check-In!

[kitty_fic]

WORD WAR STARTS NOW!


Banner by failed_mission


This is your check-in post for the 72 hour Word War. It will run from Friday at 12:00am GMT until Monday at 12:00am GMT. That is 72 hours of writing!

What is a WORD WAR?

Basically, a word war is timed writing. Participants get together and set a time limit – say, 10 minutes or half an hour – and then write as much as they can in that time period. Authors are allowed to work on any project, and as many different ones as they like. You can edit or write – so long as there is some creative work being done. At the end of the time slot, authors post how many words they have written, be it 10 or 800. Every word brings you that much closer to your goal! ♥

1- To check-in, please post your beginning word count in the comments below. All members of hd_writers are welcome to participate!

2- Use this time to work on your writing - any project, any pairing! Especially those overdue and pinch-hit fics for hd_relief, hpsmfest, hd_smoochfest, hp_didi_fest, etc! &hearts

3- 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 this weekend! Our main room will continue as it always is: chat, inspiration, word wars, encouragement, etc. The SrsBzns room will be focused strictly on timed word wars without the additional chat.

5- 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.

6- Remember to return here to post your ending count sometime soon after the war ends! Just reply to your starting comment with your final count. This is also how you will claim your participant banner :)

7- If you complete a story over the weekend, please let us know and we will make a list of our accomplishments! (provide link if possible.)

8- Prizes are as follows:

-Banners:
* participant banners for all the word war participants
* a special banner for those who hit 10k
* a winner banner for the ultimate winner

-A v-gift for the person with the most total words!

-A v-gift for anyone who writes 10k+

-Customized icons based on your own prompt for the writer with the most words!

-Drabbles for all writers with 10k+ words and the person with the most words total!

CLEARLY, SHAMELESS PORN IS THE WAY FORWARD.

[khasael.livejournal.com]

Because listing specific final word counts for some of these would break the anon-rule, I'm just listing what I hope to be working on! Will check in with a grand total # of words written, instead of breaking it down by fic!

--porninthesun pinchhit (HP)
--arthur/eames LDWS (Inception)
--pod_together (podfic collab; Inception fic)
--glompfest (HP)
--charity fic (The Demon's Lexicon)
--A/E_match fic (Inception)...um. Long shot here.

...those are just the ones I'm hoping to work on this 72 hr period... *puts on srs!face*

[khasael.livejournal.com]

Total words written during the challenge: 3452.

Finished the ldws drabble, wrote 2 scenes of the pinchhit. Almost done. Going to get back to that as soon as I post this check-in :)

Plus, planned out 2 fics that were stuck in I-Don't-Exactly-Have-A-Plot-Figured-Out Land. Massive relief. (outline words not included in total above)
