SIGN-UP POST

THE YEAR OF THE DRAGON - WORD WAR !

FRIDAY 12.30.11 12:00 MIDNIGHT GMT to TUESDAY 01.03.12 12:00 MIDNIGHT GMT

|| LINK TO THE HD WRITERS WORLD CLOCK CHART ||

New Year's weekend is upon us, but not everyone kicks up their heels and lives it up on New Year's Eve. I myself spend the weekend quietly at home, doing activities I enjoy -- and, like I said before, what's better than writing about our two favorite boys? My friends, 2012 IS THE YEAR OF THE DRAGON -- let's pay homage to our favorite dragon, Draco Malfoy (and if Harry's there too, even better!) This word war is scheduled to run a full 24 hours longer than our usual 72-hour wars, in anticipation that some people will have Monday, January 2nd off and might appreciate the extra writing time. Let's celebrate the new year with Harry and Draco -- or with any other fic or pairing you need to work on. The word war will start at 12:00 a.m. GMT on Friday, 12.30.11 and will run through 12:00 a.m. GMT on Tuesday, 01.03.12. Check-in posts will be provided throughout the holiday weekend, and don't forget our lovely and fabulous prizes: V-gifts; LJ tokens; absurd limericks; drabbles; ficlets; banners; and randomly drawn gifts! Please join us at any time during the weekend (and feel free to check out whenever you need to if you can't go the full four days) for a fun weekend of writing competition.

LET'S WRITE AULD THE WORDS! (Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week. . . )

Leave a comment with 1) What kind of fic you're working on (if for an anon fest, just put anon) and 2) your starting word count for each fic (it may be zero; it may be 100K -- whatever it is you're working on). You are allowed to work on multiple projects at once. For example:

FIC 1: HD-Remix - 0 words
FIC 2: HP Kinkfest - 400 words
FIC 3: HP Intoxicated - 10,000 words

Etc.

Throughout the weekend, we will come back and check in with our new word counts at 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours respectively at this post. Reminder banners with links to the sign-up will be posted to hd_writers throughout the weekend.

Please e-mail Slytherincess at slytherincess [at] gmail [dot] com with any questions or requests for clarification.

Don't forget our Chatzy rooms for support, comraderie, and mini word wars. The Chatzy rooms are available 24-7 for writing discussion and support: There's the regular HD Writers room and the SRS BZNS room for timed writing challenges and word wars.

ginger_veela reminded us that the Year of the Dragon doesn't officially start until January 23rd. So noted! I'm still excited by the prospect of spending some quality time with my favorite dragon this coming weekend, though. In anticipation for the 23rd! ♥

Just as an FYI, the text across Harry's face reads The Chosen Captain. . . The Boy Who Scored. . . Whatever it is they're calling you these days, and the text across Draco's face reads I think I can tell who the wrong sort are for myself, thanks. . .

TO BE CLEAR: You are welcome to work on any writing project you'd like during the Word War, regardless of pairing, fandom, original work, or genre. We welcome all busy writers here!

Happy New Year, friends!

Tentatively checking in. If my good intentions go awry and I don't finish anything this WW, you should totally feel free to drop me from the list of participants, mm'kay?

All word counts currently 0, but I have faith.

[valinorean.livejournal.com]

doing more of editing than actually writing words for fic 2, so it might end up with a negative word count

fic 1: 1040
fic 2: 13,169
fic 3: 674

Cranking away on the epic!fail of Conscience (http://dh-conscience.livejournal.com/profile).

Word Count: Somewhere in the vicinity of 350k, and miles to go (aka another 200k) before I sleep. Maybe I should just count new words at this point....
