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: 5k
Projects To Be Worked On: YuGiOh mini exchange, some last minute additions to Rare Characters, HP Creatures Halloween, and HP Cross Gen
Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever)? Just finishing things.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc.)? I've had to get extensions for fests lately, and I'm struggling with juggling my writing with work and studying (yay for postgrad), so I need some serious buttkicking (and about thirty more hours in the day).

Where is there a YuGiOh exchange and omg yessss.

[hikarievandar.livejournal.com]

It's just a tiny thing, but it's going to be here (http://archiveofourown.org/collections/YGOME14) when the collection opens.

I have this insane secret love for YuGiOh. Thanks for sharing! I can't wait to read them.

Ah, I love it too. It was the second fandom I ever got into (the first was HP) and it makes me feel so nostalgic. It was fun to write for it again.

That's the point. There are just not enough hours in the day. But you go and finish something!

I'll try my best!
