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 [livejournal.com profile] dbskyler! Your challenge for this hour: use the passive voice construction for a sentence in your reply to this post.

Now is this a day of discontent, a day made irksome by a thumping headache.

Ah, but I'm a Shakespeare Nerd - I can talk in a Shakespearean voice without even thinking about it.

And thanks - think I might have to quit writing for the rest of the evening (not that I'll be up for much longer anyway).

Um... writing will start again during this hour.

My break is over. I've napped, played Beadz, washed dishes and placed an order for ribs to be delivered. Yum. I'm all set for an afternoon of writing

The lounging around was happening for far too long, so the mod-to-be decided that in order to be ready in an hour, she'd better get a move-on.

The delightful sound of Strunk and White turning over in the graves brought smiles to the faces of innumerable tormented writers.

An ingenious scheme for hooking them up to a turbine and generating power presented itself to a MacGyver fic writer.

ETA: Unfortunately, that same writer's failure to distinguish between the living fic writers and the deceased writers of grammar texts doomed the scheme to confusion and failure.

The afternoon hours were being consumed by editing.

At least they were not consumed by ninja ibexes!

Sometimes I think editing (especially if it includes rewriting) is harder than the first draft. Good luck! Keep on slogging. You'll get through it.

thisbluespirit: (sam - ninja aardvark)
From: [personal profile] thisbluespirit
Hello there, fic_rushers! I have ninja aardvarks, but I see I am lagging behind alphabetically.

I have not really been around till now because I have been finishing off a fanvid. Then later on when I had recovered from that, I needed to do my naart for today. (I am doing [livejournal.com profile] naarmamo which is an LJ comm art equivalent of NaNoWriMo, which takes place in August. Happily you do not need to be good at art to join in. So I do icons and other people post amazing art that I get to gaze at daily. And I have discovered new things, like how to use my scanner a bit better, and also how to make my icons sparkly.)

So... there might have been 20 words in the credits of the fanvid. or less, probably.

However, I shall stay and cheer for a little while. Tomorrow I shall come back and cheer more - and *fingers crossed* maybe I really will type up one of the drabbles in my notebook!

We did start with the ninja aardvarks, but they were followed by other ninja critters.

I am ahead of the game: I have ninja penguins already! :D *points at icon* *with thanks*

(I think I am going to take a nap, for I am far too tired to think. Have fun cheering!)

Woohoo!

Also, fanvids totally count as fic, I think.

AND, they're much easier to finish than fic. So they're a sort of supreme ficcery.
