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, April 18th 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, April 21st 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, April 22nd).

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

I'm sorry I dropped the ball last time! I'll try to do better this time.

[tryslora]

Woohoo! You can do it!

[tryslora]

Enjoy the weekend and write write write!

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

Finishing > word count, for sure. Good luck!

[tryslora]

You can do it!

[tryslora]

Do not hate the fic! I'm sure it is awesome.

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

The end is in sight, you can get there!

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

Get that guy pregnant! You can do it!

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

Hurrah for words!

[ashindk.livejournal.com]

LOL! He is pregnant. It's the giving birth part that's causing me trouble :D

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

So many words! YAY WORDS!

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

Meh. My eyes are seriously clouded at this point, so who knows?

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

Tell him to push. And breathe. I've heard those things help.

[ashindk.livejournal.com]

They do. Unless you're like me, and yell back at the midwife that you want to be left the fuck alone and what does she know about giving birth anyway. Hmm. That does sound like something Draco would say, doesn't it?

[disapparater.livejournal.com]

And especially what does she know about giving birth through the butt hole. Has she ever shit a watermelon? I doubt it.

Total Word War Goal: 3000
Projects To Be Worked On: Rare Women mostly, but I have a couple of pinch hits and some tables to work on too.
Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever)? The all-important first kiss!
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc.)? I just moved house (like, today) so this will be done in between unpacking boxes.

[teas-me.livejournal.com]

Total Word War Goal: 2,000

Total Word War Goal: 5,000
Projects To Be Worked On: hd_tropes but I might throw some harrybang in there if the bunny starts nibbling.
Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever)? Rabid fucking. Killer UST. Budding friendship. Falling in love. Probably in that order.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc.)? I completely failed last time I signed up for the war. I not only failed at writing anything; I failed at letting you know I'd failed. LOL! So I'm hoping that even if I make no words, I'll have the wherewithal to still come on here, admit it, and say thank you. ;-)

[captainraychill.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'll do it!
Total Word War Goal: 1750, best I can probably do considering Easter
Projects To Be Worked On: original fic
Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever)? this should finish off a chapter/scene and start a new one
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc.)? Project currently at around 18,700 (of projected 100K) so this word war might pop me over 20% of first draft. Numbers... :)

[tryslora]

Get an alpha reader so you can get an outside opinion maybe?

[tryslora]

I could've sworn I responded to this earlier. You can do this!!
