Round 69, Hour 30

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

Oof! Those little flightless blighters put up a tough fight, but I believe we've seen the last of them.



While I've been quelling the penguin usurpation, what have you been up to? Transcription? Making new words where no words were before? Rearranging words into a more pleasing fashion? Stealing priceless Romanov treasures?

Round 69, Hour 31

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

Phew! My last hour, and for now, no sign of those pesky penguins with their dashing French Foreign Legion hats. Nobody here but us chickens. So how goes the battle? Poetry, prose? What's coming out of your keyboard?

Round 69, Hour 32

[ylla.livejournal.com]

Good morning everyone - although it still looks a lot like the middle of the night! Only Scottish penguins here.

I feel like my achievement for the next hour might be going back to sleep, but if you are being more active, this is the place to report it.

Round 69, Hour 33

[ylla.livejournal.com]

The sun is starting to think about getting up, and so am I!

Do you have sunshine? Words? Breakfast? Let us know:-)

Round 69, Hour 34

[ylla.livejournal.com]

I've eaten breakfast, I've found the things I'm supposed to be writing about, so no more excuses, right?

I have lots of things I want to do today, and I'm probably starting with the least fictional one, but never mind. Come and share your plans and your achievements!

Round 69, Hour 41

Good Morning Krusty Krew!

So proud of all the Things y'all have done so far this round. You go Glen Coco!

Me, I'm awake and ready to maybe do a singular Thing at some point. News at 11. (My time.)

Anywho, what's the story morning glories? (also I hate that musical but whatever)

Round 69, Hour 35

[naemi.livejournal.com]

Good day, everyone. It's so windy here that I'm afraid all my ideas have been blown away … but that's not an excuse for not getting to writing, I guess.

What's new? Or good? Or both? Do we have words? Or coffee?

Or penguins?

Round 69, Hour 42

[xandromedovna.livejournal.com]

Oooo, this hour is sponsored by not one but TWO auspicious numbers! (conversely, it means the improbability of me getting laid #accurate)

any improbably smutty fic-writing, or is it too early in the morning for that sort of thing?

Now if only my characters would stop bickering and get to the good stuff...

Round 69, Hour 36

[naemi.livejournal.com]

Lunch time!

I heard tales of chocolate and music and rain and shapes. Not to be demanding—but can I have more? :o)

Round 69, Hour 43

[xandromedovna.livejournal.com]

Dear Boys,

Nonononono, focus on the queer subtext.

Love,
Your Author


Here's to hoping your characters (or computers or sewing machines or what-have-you) are more cooperative.

Round 69, Hour 37

[a-q.livejournal.com]

Hello Rushers!

Hope you have had great time so far here in the Fic Rush, it's hour 37, which means there's still plenty of time before this round is over. So come talk about your writing, or other fun Sunday activity, or some other project you are busy planning at the moment.

All of Fic Rush is ready to cheer you on if needed!

Round 69, Hour 44

[jmathieson-fic.livejournal.com]

Hello!

It’d mid-afternoon in my time zone and I’ve had a reasonably productive (in a non-wording sense) morning. How about you?

I’m working on the last couple of chapters of my NaNo novel, which are a sex scene and a very fluffy ‘Happily Ever After’ epilogue. What wording (or other creative endeavour) are you up to?

And, just out of interest, what are you listening to while you write/create? I’ve got the soundtrack to Shakespeare In Love by Stephen Warbeck in the CD player (yes, physical CDs. I’m old school. And old.) to help the mood along…

Round 69, Hour 38

[a-q.livejournal.com]

Another hour has gone by, quick as lightning!

I've been drinking coffee (plus playing a bit of good ol' Candy Crush, shh, don't tell anyone) and researching what might be the difference between a diadem and a tiara. All the odd little things you need to know, though I still have no idea what the difference really is (or if there even is one).

What's the most curious thing you've ever researched for a writing project?

Round 69, Hour 45

[jmathieson-fic.livejournal.com]

Welcome to Hour 45!

I hope the last hour was productive for you! It was for me, I got a few hundred words further into the second-to-last chapter of my NaNo novel, and well into the sexytimes! Yay porn! Here, have a sample:

John’s fingers were slow and careful and sure on the buttons and he followed with his lips; kissing every inch of Ben’s skin as it was revealed.

What have you written? Share a line or two?

Or if you’re otherwise creating or crafting, snap a pic and share that!

Round 69, Hour 46

[jmathieson-fic.livejournal.com]

Hour 46 and my last hour modding for this round is upon us. Progress has been made! Words have been written! Or at least planned!

But we writers cannot live by our words alone! What did you have for lunch, what are your plans for dinner? I’ve got a bowl of spicy (very spicy, in fact, a little too spicy) corn & black bean chowder, and a pint of local organic ale. Both will help me make more words, I’m sure!

What yummy food and beverages do you have to hand to see you through the end of Round 69?

Round 69, Hour 39

[a-q.livejournal.com]

...And the Fic Rush moves steadily onward.

I've been well caffeinated, and I put Netflix on the background - I've been watching this show called 'River' and I like it very much, though I think I can guess who the killer is already - and I'm writing short test bits to see if my exchange fic might sprout a plot. Doesn't look like it, but big pile of fluff with a sprinkle of romance, that's nice too? The hard part of exchanges are guessing what the recipient might love the most.

How goes it with everyone else?

Round 69, Hour 40

[a-q.livejournal.com]

It's my last modding hour, hope you have had a good time here in the Fic Rush.

I managed to gather all my short stories into one file and put it through the NaNo validation machine - I'm tantalizingly close to the purple bar! This year it's going to be a Rebel Win, because instead one story I ended up writing something like twenty fics.

But writing is writing, and win is a win, as the saying goes.

So let's keep writing, there is still hours left in this round!

Round 69, Hour 47

[lolmac]

Well, idlewild_, now that we've got the Fabergé eggs, any ideas for getting them away from the dragon?  A hangover cure for avian reptiles might be a good place to start.

We have two hours left of this round in which to solve the conundrum.  Or write porn.  Anyone got any suggestions?

Round 69, Hour 48

[lolmac]

This is IT!!!!11!!!!  The final, ecstatic climax of Round 69!!

You have one hour left in which to attain bliss!  Or write.  Or do something else blissful!

Round 69 is over!

[lolmac]

Whew!  Time to roll over and fall asleep.  Or cuddle.  Or go on writing!

It's also time to go to the wrap-up post and tell us all your accomplishments for the weekend!
