    If I cannot add another WIP after the 31st, is it worth nominating something in case I complete my fic before reaching the word goal?

    I'll keep my word goal at 5000 but also include my Diary of a Very Sympathetic Padawan into the mix so my goal is now 5000 words combined across Cold Harvest and Diary of a Very Sympathetic Padawan. Thanks!

    Hey again, everyone! Sorry for the double post—but this is just a reminder that today and tomorrow are the LAST TWO DAYS to sign up for WIPuary or to change your signup! (Here, once again, is the index.) It's right around the corner—so exciting! :D

    Okay, going to sign up at the last minute here.

    I'd like to do the writing part of the challenge for the word count option (3000 words) on some combination of my unposted non-competing OTP challenge story (working title of Cityscape, but that's just the prompt), a newer also-unposted story, and yet another incomplete and unposted story that is actually quite old in years but has languished because it lives in a Word document and I haven't transcribed it to my current files yet. (If none of these get posted in the time, should I send some proof of the word count? I can absolutely do that, just wanted to check.)

    Because I am a glutton for punishment, I'm also going to sign up for 6 reviews. Bring it on! :p

    All sounds great, @Kahara! I've signed you up. :) In the index I put "Cityscape and two untitled, unposted stories"; is that pretty much accurate?

    And don't worry—unless you really, really want to, you don't have to send proof of the word count if things aren't posted yet; we'll believe you. It's all about the honor system here! :)

    Okay, I was putting off trying to decide how much I wanted to try and commit to, but since we're down to the wire here we go (obviously not competing):

    Finish Bri's fic-gift because I'm bad and I feel bad (in fairness, she knew my muse was being grumpy)
    and
    Finish my yet to be titled really depressing West Wing story.


    As for reviews: 3 stories

    In before the last minute.

    I'm going to sign up for the Word Count option only, with a combined 6000 words on the following WIPs: "The Wrong Side of History," "Water Flowing Underground," and "The Winter Queen."

    @mavjade and @Pandora , I've got you both in the index—thanks so much for signing up! Great to have you both. :)

    Anyone else who would like to take part has about... let's see... 5 hours and 15 minutes to get your signups in (or changed), and then we're off! :D

    Whoops, just noticed that it was February.

    I went into a kind of emotional lockdown after my country left the EU, Friday night.

    I need to focus now, on making my WIP last for another 5,000 words.

    Good luck, everyone.

    Yes, good luck and productivity vibes to all! :) Looking forward to hearing everyone's progress. @devilinthedetails, sounds like you're off to an excellent start! I've recorded your word count in the index in bold. :)

    As for me, I've managed to finish one of my WIPs: the one for the MMM prompt! It won't go up until the MMM deadline deadline on Monday, February 10 (I'll link it then), but I'm still feeling pretty proud of myself. That was kind of the "easy win" goal out of those that I had set for myself, so next I guess I'll move on to my "medium win" goal, which is the post-R1 story tentatively titled "Beached."

    May the WIPs be with us all, but not for too long! :D

    Yay for WIPuary; it's great to see everyone's progress so far, both big and small!!! Keep up the mighty fine work, all. [face_dancing] =D=

    After a slow start on the first few days of the month, yesterday I was able to churn out 2,443 words on my In That There That Isn't Here diary, for my wordcount goal. Plus, I also managed a few thousand words on my various complete goals, which will hopefully be posted soon so I can cross those off my list! So, I'd definitely call that a step in the right direction! :D This morning, I was also able to post a review for Diary of a Very Sympathetic Padawan to count towards my review goal, too! Now, to branch out and read a few titles in the index that I am not already as familiar with . . . [face_thinking]

    WIPuary has gotten off to a very slow start for me. The Youngling was sick and then kindly passed her cold on to me. And a certain pushy Mando teen has been after me to finish her WIP like now before all those other WIPs I signed up for, because she's angling for a mushy epilogue. But I was finally able to make a tiny bit of progress last night-- 435 words on the next entry of The Journal of Ronen Syndulla-Jarrus.

    I'm pleased to announce that I've written 1,070 words toward my Cold Harvest story. Combined with my earlier work, that brings me to a grand total of 2879 words.
