Have you reached the end of Saturday in your time zone? Then it's time to check in! We're halfway through, which means you've been plenty productive, but there's still one more day in our sprint! Intermediary check-ins are completely optional, but if you want some extra encouragement come and tell us how you are doing and encourage your fellow writers also!
Remember you can always find encouragement here, in the chatroom or in Serious Business Writing Room.
It's not too late to join in the war! Just check in at the original post right here.
So... how's it going so far?

If You Set Other Goals, Are You Progressing? So much fleshing, this fic is apparently a fat one. I'm not complaining.
Anything To Share? Warring makes me make words. I'll decide it they're crap and edit them later...

Projects Worked On: three
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), Are You Progressing? Yup
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? Okay....
Wool.
Piles and piles of wool. It was probably the last thing Harry expected to see while out on a simple patrol. He’d sent Ron home early to help Hermione look after the baby. Since this particular house wasn’t actually coming up with any sort of negative aura, just leaking magic out the chimney, Harry was sure he could manage resetting it himself.
Sometimes being an Auror was about doing some very mundane things, indeed. But then again, walking into a front room that was packed floor to ceiling with balls of wool and half-knit clothing, the only thing he could think of was how much Molly would love to live there.
In fact, he was so overtaken by the vastness of this stash of handicraft, he had forgotten that there might possibly be an occupant responsible for the mess.
“Oh, God, not again. Look, I’ve told you lot, I’m doing nothing wr-...”
Harry spun around at the sound. He had been wrong. This was the last thing he’d expected to find. “Malfoy?”
“Buggerall.” Draco tossed aside the three balls of orange and brown wool he’d had in his hand, and flicked open the door with his wand. “Out! I don’t care who you are or what you’re doing here, I’ve had enough. Get out of my house before I report you to the Ministry, too!”
Harry wasn’t quite sure what was going on. Was it possible that this wasn’t even Draco Malfoy? He found himself quickly pushed out of the door and then hurried down the three steps onto the front walk. “Malfoy? What are you doing here?”
“It’s none of your business. I’m doing nothing wrong. Now, go back to your cronies and tell them to leave me alone!” Draco’s face was bright red with anger, but not embarrassment.
It didn’t make any sense. Harry stood for a moment on the front lawn and watched as the drapes were pulled closed in the front room.
There was still magic leaking out of the chimney.

Projects Worked On: Fan fair
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), Are You Progressing? I made time for writing and it was so good for the soul. Tomorrow's goal is to make more time for writing, but not at the expense of - sigh - work. But still to find tie to write.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? The timed word wars are so, so amazing and I love them and want them for everything. Everything.

Date: 2014-08-24 06:13 am (UTC)New Words Written: Can't say, as I correct SPaG and Britpick and rewrite some parts, so there is a lot of writing, deleting, more writing, headdesking, coffee drinking...
Total Words So Far: I'm quite satisfied because I got a major thing right. It wasn't easy because I'm already at maximum allowed word count and that makes me rather inflexible with fitting in new facts or dialogues. *sighs*
Projects Worked On: hd_owlpost wishlist, concrit!fic
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), Are You Progressing? Yes, with a lot of interruptions because of family live, but yeah, there's progress. Could always be more, though! --> wishlist ist posted, concrit slowly creeps toward beta round two \o/
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? Warring is cool, it keeps me focused, though weekend is truly not a good time for me to write because so much rl is happening.

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), Are You Progressing?Yes. In one of the stories, Draco and his partner's father get into it; another-a character reveals a dark secret they've been hiding; another-Harry finds a house dark and suspects something's afoot; another-a character wants to have another shag in bed, but the partner won't hear of it; finally-a couple of characters have to be flexible.

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), Are You Progressing? I finished the chapter in LYH finally and posted it, and I revised the last parts of TW RPE and am ready to launch into that on Sunday.
