I have quoted your request on two beta reader threads. Hope it will help.

Thanks, Schmiezi.

I've started writing today. At first I tried to change my usual way of writing a little but that didn't work. So I guess my fic will be quite recognizable. :-)

Is there a wordcount minimum/maximum?

Schmiezi · October 7, 2015 9:32 am

Last year the minimum was 221 words and (apparently) there was no maximum. ;-)

How's everyone doing? Has anyone started writing? Plotting? Are you guys struggling or full of exciting ideas?

I'm plotting and I've got an idea but it's incredibly weird.

SusiGo · October 8, 2015 3:27 pm

About 1,000 words so far. It is fun. Not sure about the next scenes but I am a spontaneous writer anyway.

Dorothy83 · October 8, 2015 4:33 pm

I'm still plotting! Haven't had time to start writing, pah!

BreathingIsBoring · October 8, 2015 11:10 pm

I've started writing. I'm planning on something glorious.

I'm biting nails while filling page one. I'm struggling a bit, but that was to be expected :-) hope I'll keep my spirits till the end. I'm nervous :-) Still, it's much fun! :-)

I haven't written a word yet and am alternating between nervous euphoria and heartfelt despair. I've had a great idea for a story but it's possibly a project which needs much more time, so basically I'm not even sure what I'll write. I think I'll just watch the new trailer a few more times...

Schmiezi · October 9, 2015 5:34 am

I have plotted most of the story and written little more than 600 words now. Not much but I know where the fic is supposed to be heading, so I am quite relaxed this year.

I remember writing most of my fic from last year during the last week of November. That was a bit scary.

Lilythiell · October 9, 2015 8:29 am

I've a feeling that's how I might write this year...Unless I can find time during break. I will. It'll be fine !

gently69 · October 9, 2015 9:18 am

I'm still working on the plot... and started to write a few words. Hopefully the weekend will be more productive and I will finally have a proper start. I'm not a bit satisfied so far.

Lilythiell · October 9, 2015 3:06 pm

I may have found my plot. At least I started writing

silverblaze · October 9, 2015 3:44 pm

I finished plotting and started writing today. I promised myself to write more action and fewer dialogues.

So far: three pages of dialogue. No tags, descriptions or anything. Just talking heads going blah blah blah. \0/

Lilythiell · October 9, 2015 3:46 pm

Congrats, Silver

As for me, only 121 words for the moment...It'll kick off soon, I hope!

silverblaze · October 9, 2015 5:56 pm

Hehe you're one word away from the minimum.

Lilythiell · October 9, 2015 6:18 pm

Lol you mean 100 words away ;)
I've passed that minimum -barely, but still. And as luck would have it, I had to leave for drama class :/
