Round 20, Hour 5

[lolmac]

Ack.  What happened to the traffic arrangements?  Now we've got ninja dodos and ninja elephants and ninja flamingos all bumping into each other.  We're going to have a shadow shortage at this rate.

Round 20, Hour 6

[lolmac]

This is my last post for the night; I leave you in Don's capable hands.  Watch out for the ninja gazelles!  They only look harmless!

Round 20, Hour 15

[http://users.livejournal.com/idlewild_/]

The fifteenth hour. Will it see productive prose from your pen? Will you rise to the ranks of radiant revisionists? Does research rock your writerly world? (If so, what DVD stirs the heart of the writer?)



Tell all, dear fic-rushers!

Round 20, Hour 16

[http://users.livejournal.com/idlewild_/]

Sweet Sixteen ... I have Iggy Pop running through my head now. He should get out because he's kind of creepy.

I saw a lot of "research" last hour. Including mine. What are we doing this hour? I'm on revisions. Quit talking in run-on sentences, characters A through X.

Round 20, Hour 17

[http://users.livejournal.com/idlewild_/]

My hour was about evenly divided between writing and cat wants attention.

Other people pursued caffeine and plotted a course for fiction. Who got what done? What next?

Round 20, Hour 18

[http://users.livejournal.com/idlewild_/]

Round 20 is now old enough to drink legally in Australia. I celebrated this by spilling coffee all over myself.

I know we have lots of people in revision mode right now. How's the revising/creating/minor domestic accidents going?

Round 20, Hour 21

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

Hello, fic_rush! I shall be your host for the next few hours. Please keep your arms and legs inside fic_rush at all times, be passive if you like, make fanvids if you like, and watch out for ninja aardvarks, ninja bats, ninja capybaras, ninja dodos, ninja elephants, ninja flamingos, ninja gazelles, ninja hippos, ninja hummingbirds, and ninja ibexes (ibexi?). The ninja jellyfish should be no problem, however.

Round 20, Hour 22

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

The ninja winged pigs are circling, waiting for their chance to land. Meanwhile, the ninja kangaroos and ninja koalas are fighting over who gets to be the ruling ninja animal of the hour.

We've had a lot of activity, and some of it has even involved writing! How are things this hour?

Round 20, Hour 19

[http://users.livejournal.com/idlewild_/]

Hour 19! Are the muses visiting? Or did the ninja hummingbirds scare them? Is it lunchtime yet? Or is lunchtime an illusion?

Is your grammar stronger in English or Elvish. And really, Sindarin or Quenya?

Edit: holy cow. The ninjas got me. It's not hour 18. It's hour 19. Please to be ignoring the small time loop. It is the theory of the moebius.

Round 20, Hour 20

[http://users.livejournal.com/idlewild_/]

Round 20, Hour 20. I like the symmetry! We're approaching half-way and we've established that far too many of us have a preference in Elvish languages. This is my last hour today before I pass you off into the capable hands of dbskyler! Your challenge for this hour: use the passive voice construction for a sentence in your reply to this post.

Round 20, Hour 23

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

It's Hour 23! Which is . . . a fairly ordinary hour, actually. It's not one of the early hours, when the round is fresh and new. It's not one of the later hours, when the round is exciting and heading towards the grand finale. It's not the halfway point. It's just kind of sitting there.

Let's give Hour 23 some love! Go ninja lemurs!

Round 20, Hour 24

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

Ninja mongooses. Waving ninja jellyfish. While overhead, the flying ninja pigs still circle, patiently waiting their turn.

I've been replying to comments instead of making a new post. But I can fix that by going back seven minutes and posting this on time. Disregard the LJ timestamp; it doesn't know what it's talking about.

Round 20, Hour 7

[isdon-isgood9.livejournal.com]

Hi, I'm Don and I'm taking over for the next few hours :D So how dealing with all these ninja's that seem to keep acting. I don't know about you but I've got ninja elephants in the carpark, ninja dodos on the roof, ninja flamingo's in the kitchen that are chasing ninja aardvarks around with sticks. It's very chaotic here :D

Round 20, Hour 8

[isdon-isgood9.livejournal.com]

Cause I don't really have much to say and I like this gif, I give it to you this hour. So tell me how your going :D

Round 20, Hour 25

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

It's midnight GMT, which means: HALFWAY POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If things have been going great, keep it up! If things have been slow, now's your chance!

LET'S GO FIC_RUSH!!!!!!!!

Oh, and ninja, um . . . I'm drawing a blank. What ninja animal should be our mascot this hour? That begins with an "n"?

Round 20, Hour 9

[isdon-isgood9.livejournal.com]

So this is my last hour for today :D I'll be back to mod tomorrow :D But before I return to responding to hourly posts instead of creating them tell me how you went this hour? What you did? Should we be celebrating? And did you tie your ninja animals up in a corner like I did?

Round 20, Hour 10

[isdon-isgood9.livejournal.com]

Ok, I don't know where glinda_penguin is but I'm going to post in her place this hour and hope that she comments here and lets me know she's here or if she can't do her posts.

Until then comment here and let me know how the writing has been going :D

Round 20, Hour 11

[isdon-isgood9.livejournal.com]

Since I still haven't heard from glinda_penguin I'm going to post again this hour and pray she comments and lets us know where she is otherwise it might be a very late night for me :D


So last hour we had some mad writing and a finished fic. Will this hour give the same results. Only you possess the ability to let us know :D

Round 20, Hour 12

[isdon-isgood9.livejournal.com]

Another hour has gone past and there has been no news from our missing mod. I'm starting to fear these ninja animals that have invaded this  round have taken her hostage. Until she's set free it looks like I'll keep filling in until I get sleepy then I got a very generous offer from  chibifukurou who has kindly agreed to take over if necessary.

Until then tell me how your hour went? Was there lots of writing, not much? Were some ideas generated? Drop a comment and let me know :D

Round 20, Hour 26

[chibifukurou]

Hello everybody! Welcome to hour 26 of Fic Rush! We're officially past the halfway point.
I'm running a little late, but I brought a ninja narwhal along to make up for it. 

Comment with updates on your word count, tales of ninja narwhals, or whatever tickles your fancy.
For those interprising souls who are interested in a word war, let me know. I'll be glad to host some in the next couple of hours.

Round 20, Hour 13

[isdon-isgood9.livejournal.com]

Another hour has passed and now I'm cold :D My roommate opened the door to stop the smoke alarms from going off but it doesn't stop the chill from coming in so I may need to relocate to my bedroom :D



Anyway how was your hour? Did the chores get done? Did you do any writing? Did you sit around and think? Or where you like me and on facebook? Drop a comment and let me know :D

Round 20, Hour 27

[chibifukurou]

It's Hour 3 to the power of 3. Last hour we had words written and planned a Word War.


Comment if you have more words to add or you'd like to take part in the word war.


And since you've all been so good here is another ninja narwhal.

Round 20, Hour 14

[isdon-isgood9.livejournal.com]

The time has come for me to really leave. I almost left the modding areana 5 hours ago but apparently that wasn't meant to be :D However the mod taking over next hour kindly checked in last hour so that I would know she was awake and that I could go straight to bed :D


So that's what I'm doing. You guys chat amongst yourselves, cheer each other on like never before this hour, while I go to bed :D



Goodnight all :D

Round 20, Hour 28

[chibifukurou]

Awesome job you guys. We had over 3,050 words written in the last hour alone.

I'm still hunting for the Clan of the Ninja Orca's but I will get back to you if I spot any.

Comment with word counts, plot problems, requests to Word War, etc. We'll do our best to help you out.
