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 Saturday, February 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 Wednesday, February 5th according to your local time. You will have FIVE FABULOUS 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

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 Thursday, February 6th).
8 ! ALL WORDS ARE AWESOME WORDS! Good luck everyone!

Date: 2014-02-01 07:08 am (UTC)A little dialogue from GoF for inspiration:
"Both of us."
"What?"
"We'll take it at the same time. It's still a victory. We'll tie for it."
"You- you sure?"
"Yeah. Yeah, we've helped each other out, haven't we? We both got here. Let's just take it together."
"You're on. Come here."
"On three, right? One - two - three -"
... and here's hoping there's not some creepy graveyard on the other end... :O
