Incidentally, LiveJournal's picowrimo is kicking off a "mini" July round in two days ( Read more... )

In about an hour and a half - at midnight GMT (aka 5pm Pacific Daylight Time or 8pm Eastern Daylight Time) - the seventeenth monthly round of fic_rush will begin ( Read more... )

I suspect I won't be online much if at all tomorrow or Saturday (it's been a long week and I am pretty thoroughly wiped out), so I'd like to take this work-fleeing LJ break opportunity to wish all my Tolkien-loving friends a happy Cormarë! :D

fic_rush peoples - don't know if I'll show up. Maybe for a bit on Sunday. Have fun, all! Save me a glowstick! ;-)

One more hour till this month's fic_rush starts! I am hanging out in the 24-hour computer lab at uni, watching my Greenwich-synced computer clock and doing "research" (aka watching the new disc of The Middleman * which just arrived from Netflix. Netflix is the awesome ( Read more... )

I say - anyone on my flist who doesn't already know this: fic_rush is going splendidly. Come over to fic_rush_48 and write with us! (Or just distract us with random chatter. That's what the hourly posts are actually for, after all... *g*)

I totally forgot about Round 8 of fic_rush starting tonight!

(Yes, I am frightfully late. My laptop was in the shop last night.)

If anyone on my flist hasn't yet heard about fic_rush... it is a 48-hour fanfic marathon.

The "when to have Round 6" poll is up at fic_rush!

For those who came in late, Fic_Rush is... like NaNoWriMo, only sane. Write anything you want, as much as you can, over the course of 48 hours, and chat in the hourly posts at fic_rush_48 with other people who are doing the same thing. Come in late, leave early, pop in and out, whatever - just have fun and make fic ( Read more... )

Eep. I totally forgot that fic_rush was this weekend!

What it is, for those who came in late, is a two-day fic marathon. No requirements - just write anything you like, as much as you can of it, and talk about it with other people who are doing the same thing.

We're very informal - if you'd like to participate, just pop over to fic_rush_48, which is where they make ( Read more... )
