I've been getting some reviews, emails, etc, and I just want to clarify, especially since some of you are rather angry with me -- I do not have the power to lock or unlock Parade of the Sun, because I do not run the dmhgficexchange.

I broke my promise to myself to do this final round. BUT AFTER THAT! FEST HIATUS!!

[everythursday]

Haha, it's basically impossible to not do it! I'M SO EXCITED - YOU CAN JOIN WORDY WRITERS ANONYMOUS, and we can bitch and moan to one another about how we write too fucking much, and omg!panic.

PLAN?

[akashathekitty]

PLAN! And you know what else? I'll totally kick your ass in NOT being wordy. I meeeeean it. Like, I'll be HAHA SAGE YOUR FIC IS 250K AND MINE IS ONLY 10K! At least that is my plan. I want my prompt soooooo badly so I can start planning out plot! I've been lurking on people's LJs and Sonorus and have seen people drop hints at what they requested and been all "Ooooh, I could write that!" and before I know it I'm absentmindedly plotting until I'm all "WAIT! Wasting brain power here! I need to wait a couple more weeks!" XD

Also, totally loving how many really awesome writers are signing up. I hope that means someone awesome will fill my prompt. Not that it matters overly much, since my prompt is kinda general, but it would be nice, you know?

OOOH, GAME. ON. We were in...what, a 20 word range difference in our advent submissions? It is very possible I can beat you with a lower word count! ALSO, if it's something either one of us is going to plan on continuing after the exchange...lower word count doesn't count.

...After saying this, if you come up with a story that's less than 5k, I'm going to karate chop you. XD

I haven't seen any hints, but I'VE BEEN DOING THE SAME THING. I keep catching myself spinning off into ideas, and then having to stop to preserve brain abilities, loool. This is why we need our prompts ASAP. I'm hoping they already started the matching.

Agreed! The fact that it's the last one is bringing out a whole lot of people who I don't think would normally attempt it right now. It's going to be pretty awesome! I requested art or fic, so mine will be a surprise all around. Though I don't know if I managed a prompt that was fitting for art, haha.

[akashathekitty]

I actually also requested either art or fic, but tbh I think I'm getting fic since there isn't that much art to go around. I just... wanted to try and make it easy on the mods. XD

I don't think I'll do less than 5k words. That seems a little skimpy when I have the kind of word diarrhea that I do. XD TBH my goal is about 20k words. That's what I did last time I participated and that was all good and decent imo.

I think our Advent fics were at least very close in word count, but idr if it was that close. But man did we both break word count. ;P

I intend on sending you random 4 am mails saying "I now average X words a day and I'm on a ROLL and totally not writing an epic here! :D" and then I will wait for your email proclaiming you hit 100k. XD
