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 Thursday, August 7th 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 Sunday, August 10th 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 Monday, August 11th).
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)? Write the last scene and eventually finish the thing!
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc.)? Too many words by far (and I mean FAR) so far and I need to write more to finish it and then cut it down to max. 7k . -- We are going to leave for Hamburg tomorrow to visit my in-laws and spend some days at the seaside. Sounds nice, but means wasting two days on the highways. But I'm prepared: The Kindle is well fed with fics and all currently available Turn!podfics are downloaded on my cell, so I hope to at least be able to catch up on reading FanPoll and Smoochfest. Can you imagine that my in-laws have been married for 50 years today? -- Good luck, everybody!
