We're done! Monday is here, and if you've reached the end of the day, then the war is over. I hope you've been super amazingly productive these last four days. Remember: ALL WORDS ARE AWESOME WORDS!!
Please remember to let us know how you did overall with a comment on this post sometime by the end of day Tuesday. Thank you to everyone who came out to play! And remember... another word war is coming! So take a chance to catch your breath and get ready... because we'll be doing it all over again soon!

Did you Finish a Thing?: Nope
If You Set Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever), Did You Meet Them?
Anything To Share (flailing, squeeing, sobbing, etc.)?
The night after I started the word war I got a summer cold. So, no surprise I didn't reach my initial goal of 2.500 words in English (writing with a headache doesn't work, duh). Nonetheless my cloudy brain was kind of cooperative today, and I settled for the inverse approach, and started finally on my translation project. It's one of my all-time-favourite fics and I love to translate it :D.
You'll finally see it here or on A03 though I'm planning to finish it without hurry (in Fall). I have translated 988 words (out of ~15.000) into 1.057 German ones. That's not bad because my native language tends to be complicated with no ing-forms and all the subordinate clauses.
Count me in for the next word war. I want to try it in earnest next time :D.
Thanks

Did you Finish a Thing?: Nope. sadly nope.
Anything To Share (flailing, squeeing, sobbing, etc.)?It was a good weekend of writing, but this story has taken on far more plot than I had intended and it is now over 16K. It was supposed to be a quick PWP-response to Birds' Anywhere but the bed comment meme! Sigh.
