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 Saturday, November 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 Tuesday, November 4th 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 Wednesday, November 5th).

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

Projects To Be Worked On: Erised (hopefully for the last time during a word war)
Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever)? Answer some messages. I suck at interaction in fandom life at the moment.
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc.)? I have only tomorrow as a real writing day (grandmother takes the child for some hours). But I hope to finish the last two scenes until next Saturday.

[tryslora]

Communication is HARD. Best of luck getting words!

Projects To Be Worked On:hd_owlpoststarted a fic- will finish it but can not gift the intended one with it, because its all she does not like *high five to plot bunnies hopping at me when not needed*
Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever)?need to get the fic the way it should be - drama queen needs to get a hold on herself, and maybe I write further on the other 2s because than i can finally share something and get feedback and maybe get better at writing, and of course still working on my ever present theses but at the moment that's fine- also l need to write 2 not so funny mails hopefully i will write them finally - they are kinda important! *damn*
Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, etc.)?i am hopeful, four days and i am absolutely free and have no plans *thumps up* and now to bed I go to be set for tomorrow

[tryslora]

Oh man, it's frustrating when a fic turns sideways like that. But yay for writing! Best of luck!
