Round 30, Hour 47 and 23 minutes

[lolmac]

LJ is up again!  Get it while it's hot!!

I was, of course, going to post an exquisite and eloquent discourse that would fire everyone with energy and imagination and cause wordcounts to soar in our last two hours, if only I had been able to post.  Yeah.  That's my story.  Uh-huh.

Whee! Locating caffeine. Not sure if even caffeine can make more words. But that does seem to be the magic trick.

[lolmac]

Sounds good to me. Got any extra?

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

Of so many kinds. Having an iced coffee with almond milk and kahlua for this round.

let's do the time warp again

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

This is the best day ever and I am probably way too hyperactive right now to write, but if I do, every word is likely to be comedic gold.

I sure hope I have some humor WIPs sitting around or this may not work out well.

I have two glowsticks.

And now, I'm going to drink the free coffee I was randomly given.

just a jump to the left

[lolmac]

Woohoo!! TWO glowsticks!

you now have that song stuck in your head

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

They are color coordinated.

and a step to the right

[lolmac]

I've had much worse songs get stuck.

[lullabymoon]

Wooo! There was quite a few moments of panic there. *hugs fic rush*

I think I'm more or less done with my outline/timeline. There will need to be tweeks but I think I need to see how the writing goes before that happens. Setting my timer now and seeing if I can get any words out before I fall asleep.

[lolmac]

Go for it! You can do it!

That was the worst possible time it could have gone down. I had about 12 LJ tabs open and all of them screamed the 500 error of DEATH at me, all at once. It was a sad, sad time.

At least it made me stop refreshing it long enough to write though :)

[lolmac]

Oh, so it was YOUR fault, huh? :P

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

Dammit, I've been caught. Yes it was me, I had the tabs, I had ALL the tabs!

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

Nice. I only had five.

Now you've got me thinking Frank wants to read all our fic, and that's what happened.

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

It was blatantly Frank's passive aggressive way to get us all to do some writing :P

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

I wondered if you were having trouble getting onto LJ! Glad to see you're back!

I'm feeling unexpectedly tired, so I think I need to acquire some caffeine before I go back to writing. After all, there's plenty of time left, right?

. . . right?

[lolmac]

Right! We still have Hour 43 floating around! I'm trying to set up a trap for it using a paper clip, a solar-powered calculator, and an eggplant.

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

I have some bits of exploded vuvuzela here if they would help.

[lolmac]

They might just.

Finally jumping in to my first fic_rush (oh, where have you been all my life?) and I had to leave the house and computer to do it. Probably got a few hundred words out in about 45 minutes at Starbucks, but have to type them up to get the final tally... Still woefully stuck in general, not to mention am now home again, distracted by all the non-writerly stuff that needs to get done pronto. Moral dilemma, indeed...

[lolmac]

Woohoo! So glad to see you here! The round is almost over, therefore all that non-writerly stuff can just wait till the round is over. This is YOUR time to write. *nods grandly*

[vikingwriter.livejournal.com]

You're right, of course. I should take advantage of the collective writerly energy while I can. I like it, thank you!

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

Have I had a chance to say welcome to Fic Rush yet? If not: welcome to Fic Rush!

[vikingwriter.livejournal.com]

No, because I'm socially awkward and never introduced myself, I've just been lurking while doing Other Things. Totally cheating, I know ;)

Right. Back to the writing, now that I have a proper rationalization. And thanks for the welcome, I look forward to many a future rush!

372 words, 7 of 15 Things!

And for all our talk about bonsai giraffes and Time Chickens and ninja aardvarks, it's a silly goat that mucks things up the most!

[lolmac]

Is Frank the Goat an agent of the Time Chicken? Or is the Time Chicken a patsy for Frank the Goat? Or are they both part of a deeper conspiracy?

[agirlnamedtruth.livejournal.com]

It's a chicken and egg goat problem...

(I'm so sorry. They made me make the joke.)

Good morning :D

I'm going in search of tea and food :D

[lolmac]

Good morning! Enjoy your breakfast!
