Word War - CHECK-IN

[kitty_fic]

This is your check-in post for the 48 hour Word War. It will run until Monday at 12:00am GMT. That is 48 hours of writing!


What is a WORD WAR?

Essentially, a word war is timed writing. Participants get together and set a time limit – say, 10 minutes or half an hour – and then write as much as they can in that time period. Authors are allowed to work on any project, and as many different ones as they like. You can edit or write – so long as there is some creative work being done. At the end of the time slot, authors post how many words they have written, be it 10 or 800. Every word brings you that much closer to your goal! ♥

1- To check-in, please post your beginning word count in the comments below. All members of hd_writers are welcome to participate!

2- Use this time to work on your hd_bigbang, harrydracompreg, hds_beltane, hd_smoochfest or any other projects you may have going!

3- The chat is there as always to serve as inspiration and encouragement! Please try to stay on the topic of writing as much as possible this weekend! Our main room will continue as it always is: chat, inspiration, word wars, encouragement, etc.

4- The mods have decided to create a second chatroom- hd_writers srsbzns. This room will be focused strictly on word wars without the additional chat. The SrsBzns room will be for FOCUSED word warring!

5- 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.

6- Remember to return here to post your ending count sometime soon after the war ends! Just reply to your starting comment with your final count. This is also how you will claim your participant banner :)

7- If you complete a story over the weekend please let me know and I will make a list of our accomplishments! (provide link if possible.)

8- Prizes are as follows:

-The winner with the most words will recieve a v-gift + 300 LJ tokens!

-Anyone who writes 10k in two days will recieve a v-gift.

-We have also had additional prizes donated this round by the very talented failed_mission! <3
* participant banners for all the word war participants
* a special banner for those who hit 10k
* a winner banner for the ultimate winner

Project #1 (not-very-secret-sequel to an older fic) - erm...so, I think there are about 1000 words, but it's all handwritten so I don't actually know for sure. I'll edit this comment or reply or something once I've typed it up. *is so organised*

Project #2 (slightly-more-secret fic that is totaly not for a fest because I AM NOT WRITING FOR FESTS THIS YEAR) - NO WORDS AT ALL, NOT ONE.

I feel this can only end well! *\o/*

[morgana-fire.livejournal.com]

Ok I have 2 fics I must write this weekend!! And since I haven't even started my count is at 0. Ok I can do this.

[thisgirl-is.livejournal.com]

I was going to check in now, but the latest copy is on my external hard drive on the other side of the room, which is WAY too far away right now. So I will do it in the morning. *looks at clock* Later in the morning.

*yawns mightily*

I'm starting a new fest fic this weekend, in addition to some much needed spring cleaning, so I'm word warring as well as dust warring, lol. My current WC is 0 since I've yet to begin. I don't focus on WC, per se, - just until the fic's done, so I have no specific WC goal. But I've got so many things to write that the needed WC is massive by default! Here's hoping I make some progress this weekend, and GL to all of you as well.

[kinky-kneazle.livejournal.com]

I'm working on my hp_beholder fic this weekend and I'm determined to finish it.

Starting wordcount: 1,178

I think this story will be about 12,000 words so I'm aiming to be a 10,000 word-er this weekend. Along with grocery shopping and stuff... I really need to stop procrastinating now.

[undrsomestairs.livejournal.com]

Okay, checking in with two fics that could use some work!
Mpreg fest fic: 1,733

Not sure if I am going to write by hand or type. Will see what my muse says.
