Round 16, Hour 5

[lolmac]

Hour 5.

It looms.  It lurks.  It is discovered, suddenly found between one click of the digital clock and the next.  Full of promise.  Full of possibility.  Full of . . .

Penguins.

And pasta!  Miraculous writerly pasta full of plotty meatballs and saucy dialogue!  Mmmm.

Round 16, Hour 6

[lolmac]

With this post, I leave you for the night (or the day, if you happen to be in a different hemisphere).  The goddess-like lullabymoon will be here next hour to carry on.  Be sure to save her some of the magical writerly pasta and offer her a ride on a space pirate's red motorcycle.  And watch out for the Russian Parrot mafia!

As for me, I'm going to go fall over.

Who's still standing?  Or sitting up and still awake?

Round 16, hour 7

[lullabymoon]

Hello campers!

I'll be your host for the next few hours (I've heard there has been pasta and pirates?). Who's staying and who is going to bed?

Round 16, hour 8

[lullabymoon]

How is everyone this hour? Successfully holding back the penguins/pirates?

Round 16, hour 9

[lullabymoon]

How goes things?

I might need to borrow some of the magical pasta.

Round 16, hour 10

[lullabymoon]

Ooops, got a little distracted this hour. How are things?

Round 16, hour 11

[lullabymoon]

*fights off the ninja penguins*

Anyone else suffer an attack of the penguins?

Round 16, hour 12

[lullabymoon]

On time this hour! :D

Those penguins won't get me this time!

On a saner note, how is everyone getting on? 

Round 16, Hour 21

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

Welcome to Hour 21! I'll be your host for the next shift. The marvelous pitry said I might try to bring back sanity, but forget that -- sanity is no fun. And it's certainly not conducive to writing.

So sit back, and have a cup of afternoon. (Or a cup of whatever time it currently is at your place.) Pasta, pirates, and fic await! Avast, ye Time Chickens, tremble in fear, for WORDS SHALL BE WRITTEN THIS HOUR!!!!

Round 16, hour 13

[lullabymoon]

My last hour hosting for today. Next up is the awesome pitry , barring any technical mishap.

How did we get on this hour? I managed to successfully subdue the penguins!

Round 16, Hour 22

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

Last hour, we had words! We had pasta! And we had posted fic!!!

But Hour 22 scoffs at Hour 21! Hour 22 is here! And it is ready! And we are ready! And together we shall leave Hour 21's progress in the dust!

Go, go, go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Round 16, Hour 23

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

The Russian Mafia has declared war on fic_rush! Forget all the talk about Russian politics; the real truth is, they want to keep fanfic from being written! They are even holding jjpor hostage! GATHER THE PENGUINS!!! WE ATTACK AT HOUR 23!!!

(And by the way, anyone know what "nginx" means? That's the error message I got when I tried to access LJ last hour.)

Round 16, Hour 14

[pitry.livejournal.com]

Hello, Oh People Of The Writing Persuasion.

I come to you, bearing bad news, good news, and more bad news.

The bad news, you're stuck with me for the next several hours.
The good news, it seems like we need not be afraid of zombies, penguins and the Russian Mafia anymore.
The bad news, it's because I got scared of the Russian Mafia and decided to align myself with the Pirates on this one.

...Drink up me hearties yo ho?

So, how is the writing going?

Round 16, Hour 24

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

Will fanfic get written? Will this get posted? Will anyone see it even if it does get posted?

Only Engine X knows for sure.

Meanwhile, we are almost at the halfway point!

Round 16, Hour 15

[pitry.livejournal.com]

I wanted to edit more story, but the motorcycle squad of the Space Pirates stopped me.

How have you escaped the horror?

Round 16, Hour 25

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

This is my last mod post. The marvelous chibifukurou will be taking over next.

But I'm still here for this hour! Last hour, the Russian Cheese Mafia tried to keep us from writing fanfic, but we prevailed! The French Franc Penguins took them over with their used bills! jjpor is free! (Hopefully, because he's writing a fic that I really, really want to read.)

Oh, and one more thing:

HALFWAY POINT!!!!!!!!!!!

Round 16, Hour 16

[pitry.livejournal.com]

Hour 16 brings the rumour of ducks.

Not actual ducks, mind. They'd be too heavy for hour 16. Just the rumour of ducks.

It is said the rumour of ducks might eventually bring ducks in its wake, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Hour 16 definitely doesn't. It being an hour and doesn't have a breath might contribute, of course, but that's besides the point.

Round 16, Hour 17

[pitry.livejournal.com]

Words?

Ideas?

Fics?

Chocolate?

Ponies?

Ducks?

Space pirates?!?!

...

Banana?

Round 16, Hour 18

[pitry.livejournal.com]

Whoops!

I had to perform some Pirate duties. And was then eaten by the white rabbit.

Round 16, Hour 19

[pitry.livejournal.com]

The Ducks! The DUCKS!

Well, I've written some 200 words or so, and hopefully fixed what was missing from the chapter with them. How about you?

Round 16, Hour 26

[chibifukurou]

 Sorry for the late post everybody. LJ is being persnickety.

Well we've had Mafia Penguins, Ddos attacks, Time stealing chickens, and all sorts of other crazy antics. But hopefully everyone is still going strong.

We're 2 hours past the halfway point now, and I'd love to hear how things are going.

Comment with updates on your wordcount, plot questions, requests for cuddles, etc. We'll do our best to help.

Round 16, Hour 20

[pitry.livejournal.com]

So, the Ducks have taken over the universe.
The Time Chickens are planning to re-take the universe. Expect big bangs.
I have been called back to my duties on the Pirate Ship, after a small misunderstanding with the Space Pirates.
Expect the wonderful dbskyler to take my place in the next hour and bring back as much sanity as the ducks and Time Chickens would allow her into fic_rush.


In the meantime, I shall leave you with a warning. You do not want to watch the Star Wars Holiday Special.

Round 16, Hour 27

[chibifukurou]

Shower Muses, Glowsticks of Rage, and Magical Ficcy Pasta! What more could a writer want? (Except for LJ to behave itself.)

So if you want to join the fun comment away!!!

Round 16, Hour 28

[chibifukurou]

 NEVER GIVE UP! NEVER SURRENDER!!! (also never watch Galaxy Quest during fic_rush)
