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 Wednesday, October 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 Sunday, October 5th according to your local time. You will have FIVE 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, October 6th).

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

Total Word War Goal:around 5.000
Projects To Be Worked On:write down the h/d story in my mind, finish the raw version of my method chapter of my master theses, and some other minor stuff
Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever)?i want to come to the kissing scene without messing up the tempo to much- somehow my story seems to be high speed and that's weird
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc.)?need butt-kicking for my theses please and maybe some advice for how a fluffy romance should be set in motion without making it speed up to much... I feel like I am failing at that (-.-)

*kicks butt for thesis*

Sometimes high speed is okay, kind of like a fluffy romantic comedy where you know where it's going, and there's a train on the rails, but it's GOOD because it's fun getting there fast!
