Round 72, Hour 1

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

And so it begins! Welcome, one and all, to Round 72 of fic_rush! This is the very first hour. Look at all that emptiness stretching out before us! But, it needs something. Fresh new words on an old WIP? Fresher, newer words on a new fanfic? A penguin? A glowstick? Laundry? Tea? All of the above?

Perhaps, just perhaps, if we all work together, we as a community can come together and create something wonderful over the next 48 hours. A creative endeavor, a safe space, a group undertaking of making fic.

Perhaps, just perhaps, this will be the 72nd time that such a thing has come to pass.

So, don't just sit there! Whether this is your first time, your 50th time, or your 72nd time, come on in, and join us. What are your plans for our time together?

Round 72: Hour 2

Hello, hello!! Well, we are off to a good start here at February Fic Rush! Fingers warmed up, docs open distractions research at the ready. And coffee...plenty of coffee.

(Mmmm...coffee. Good substitute for sleep!)

I am supposedly all set. How fares the Rush for you, my friends, here in the wee hours of Round 72?

Round 72, Hour 5

I'm back! I'll be your mod for the next few hours. How goes the writing? The tea-drinking? The coffee-drinking? The penguins? Anything interesting to report? Anything uninteresting to report? (We're easy.)

Round 72, Hour 6

The hours creep on apace . . .

. . . or do they?

How are the hours creeping in your neck of the woods?

Round 72: Hour 3

*Runs through living room, papers flying, coffee balanced precariously*

I'm here, I'm here!! Coffee was brewing and I got lost!!

How're we doing this hour? I know things must be going good - so share, share, share!

*Takes a sip and beams brightly*

Coffee is fresh!

Round 72: Hour 4

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

Welp, tis my last post of tonight - and I haven't a thing to Share. Yes. I have been bad. My coffee needed coffee and...well...you know how THAT goes.

*sobs*

I have ficcish plans, but I am not going to promise myself anything, because every time I do, words do NOT happen until Fic Rush is over, which is not with the sense-making. So I will just say I have plottishness and ideas. And let the Musie think She is coaxing me into what I want to do already.

And that last sentence was likely comprehensible to no one but me.

I guess I'll need a tad more coffee. O_O

*Staggers back to kitchen*

Round 72, Hour 7

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

Is your narrative sounding bald and unconvincing? If so, have you considered some corroborative detail to give it artistic verisimilitude?

In the meantime, we come to Hour 7, which is my last scheduled hour for the round. And, to be honest, I can't quite tell from the comments over in the mod schedule whether or not Hours 8 and 9 are covered, or are up for usurpation. Oooh, the suspense!

Round 72, Hour 8

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

Well, no one else has showed up to post, so that means . . .

USURP!!!!!!!

MUAH-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!!!!!!!

Avast ye hearties, and pour the pirate sherry!
