[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

This hour, let's all promise ourselves to stop watching TV and get a wordcount going. :P

No but actually, I saw some of you got a lot written last hour. Keep it up!

...I suck. :( I thought I had a plotbunny, but what I actually had was a vague idea for a scene that had no point to it and refused to be written anyway. So that's filed away for a day when I'm feeling more creative, and now I'm gonna go puzzle over how time works in FF8 and what exactly would happen if you tried to rewrite it. I think I know the answer, but it's a bit anti-climactic.

I hate it when a scene that seems so promising at its germination goes flop. Maybe the concept will still be usable at least?

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

Someday. *crosses fingers*

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

Phooey on fake plotbunnies! But the figuring out how time works thing sounds interesting. Can you explain why fic_rush hours go by so fast? And then maybe rewrite some of them?

[isdon-isgood9.livejournal.com]

Well I had lunch and then did nothing for the rest of the hour so hopefully this hour will be better :)

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

WB then. Good luck!

[primsong.livejournal.com]

Well, so far I have two plot bunnies - like I needed more... and located my notebook with its partially illegible scrawls for where my WIP is going. Kind of a pathetic start, but I'm hopful for better.

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

Any start is a good start. :)

[lolmac]

I called up my friend and arranged to get together tomorrow evening instead of this evening, thereby giving myself the opportunity to remain at home. :)

Now I'm messing around in Photoshop instead of writing. :0

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

Noooo, you have to close Photoshop! Otherwise you rearranged your get together for nothing!

*peer pressure*

[primsong.livejournal.com]

No, no, not that! ;-) Really, nothing slurps away your time like image manipulation, I swear. It must be at least partially in another dimension.

[lolmac]

Um, well . . . I promised Curuchamion I'd iconify a couple of LOLMacs for her . . . and there are sooo many pretties! See? Shiny!

Just read through previous posts and wow, look at all the people! Happy fic_rush, everyone! I don't have too much time this weekend, but I really want to try to get some writing done tonight and on Sunday. I will once again be working on Doctor Who, I'll probably try for a ficlet for 50ficlets since I don't feel up to taking on anything too big or ambitious. Although the weekend is young . . .

[primsong.livejournal.com]

Those of you who have taken on the 50 ficlets thing are quite brave in my estimation, I don't think I could face a number like Fifty. Ten maybe... Go you for taking it on!

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

It's all thisbluespirit's fault, although she probably will make it to 50 without a problem. I'm just going to try to get as far as I can.

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

Hi there!

50 ficlets is definitely ambitious in my mind, but apparently you can do that and the world gets more Doctor Who fic out of it. Which is great! :D

It's weird that everyone new decided to join in the same weekend. It kinda rules.

It does rule. Although maybe word has finally gotten out about how awesome fic_rush is, and there will be waves of new people every round from now on!

[studyofrunning.livejournal.com]

That would be epic.

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

*waves* Hurrah for a Doctor Who ficlet!

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

*waves back* So excited you joined in! Yay for more DS9 fic, too!

[eponymous-rose.livejournal.com]

No dice! This time, I actually need to watch a certain episode to double-check a whole bunch of facts. ;)

And ack, trek_news needs to go up tonight, too.

[juliet316]

*joins comm*

[primsong.livejournal.com]

*waves at Juliet* Welcome!

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

Nothing wrong with watching an episode to fact-check; just don't find yourself watching the whole season for the sake of being extra-thorough.

Although personally, I like being extra-thorough. ; )

[amaresu]

I have one handwritten page and something that might be postable.

It's like a draft right?

[primsong.livejournal.com]

Sounds drafty to me!

[amaresu]

Now if only pen and paper came with a word count. XD

Nyssa is surprisingly hard to write.

[primsong.livejournal.com]

I've never attempted her - maybe for the same reason, she kind of intimidates me. Must be the eyes.

[amaresu]

I'm finding it really hard to get inside her head.

Must be the eyes.

*nods*

[dbskyler.livejournal.com]

I've never tried to write Nyssa, but yes I see why she'd be difficult. Good on you for going for it! New Nyssa fic would be shiny and wonderful.

[amaresu]

To be fair it is a prompt for who_minis. Also looking to be an angsty vignette. Hopefully it comes out.

*pokes fic*

Thanks!

[zekkass.livejournal.com]

I've done the opposite so far for this hour. *facepalm* Bubblegum show then I'll get back to writing. And possibly grab a snack while I'm at it.

[juliet316]

Yes, mummy. :-P
