Round 15 is over!

[lolmac]

And it was a splendid round!  We had some terrific writing progress made by most of the attending folks, including a new victim visitor.  The Time Chicken made off with an entire hour from the UK, but the rest of us had already succumbed to that evil.  The automatic shipfic generator stole even more time.  Rush Penguin and the Time Chicken failed to find true love, but that would be a great name for a band.

Meanwhile, the penguins inspired, danced, waved glowsticks, kept muses from decamping, and played drinking games. 

Not much crackfic this round; I did produce this timeless offering here.  And jjpor gave us this magnificent tale!

Fervent thanks to the Mod Squad, as always, mostly especially dbskyler, who stepped into the breach and did three shifts, and pitry, who did two shifts in spite of having a rotten weekend.  glinda_penguin, lullabymoon, and idlewild_ all dealt with changed schedules as well as the Time Chicken, and isdon_isgood9 carried her modding baton whilst in the throes of serious writing!  Go you!  Thank you!

A special salute as always to studyofrunning , who made this comm happen!  PM her with details on what you've written here.  I think the fic gallery is a little out of date.



Be sure to watch for the poll to choose Round 16 dates.

In addition to the Stargate crack, I did manage to write this as well:


* * *


“Uh . . . . Pete, I don’t even drink. What did you say the rules are?”

Pete Thornton lowered his voice. “That’s the whole problem, Mac. As far as I can tell, the rules change with every round. Sometimes in mid-round.” Pete was having trouble getting the words to come out clearly; the drinking game had started several hours ago, and he’d been losing ground.

Still, others were worse off. Around the table, small beady eyes glittered, flippers pushed the bottles from one place to the next, beaks dipped into glasses. Three of the penguins had passed out, four were playing complicated percussive rhythms with glowsticks, and two were dancing on the table to the thin clattering beat. At the far end, three were passing the same piece of paper from hand to hand, scribbling furiously; each time the paper changed hands, a particularly bulbous robin tried to steal it, and one of the penguins smacked it with another glowstick.

Pete lost his round, took another drink, and turned into a penguin again.

Mac shook his head and blinked. “Whoa. Just how long did the doctor say it would take before this stuff wore off?”

Pete would make a charming penguin!

[lolmac]

And why not? He looks very fine in a tux.

Well I only made it to 8,660 but hopefully I'll do better next Fic Rush. Thank you guys for all your support!!!

I would share something I'd written but it's all for challenges, so I'll just share a sketch instead.

[lullabymoon]

That's an awesome word count! Congrats!

[lolmac]

That's cute!

When your fic is posted, ping studyofrunning, so she can add it to the gallery. And 8600 is nothing to sneeze at! (It's about 8200 more than I managed.)

[lullabymoon]

I think I managed about 750 in total, as well as betaing two fics and doing a spot of plotting. I'm quite pleased, especially given how distracted I've been today.

I got nine commentfic written! One Burn Notice, one White Collar and the rest Stargate.

Linkies are here.

[clocketpatch]

I got about 1400 words all total, plus several crack!fics off the generator (those count right?). And some MS Paint art of everyone: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2i7su1k&s=7

Thanks to everyone who modded! It was awesome.

Saturday was really awful and my plans to spend the whole time writing did not happen. But I did kind of sort of a tiny bit start on this one thing, which was a surprise.

Portal 2 comes out on the 19th here and soon after elsewhere, so right after the 19th is a very bad time for Fic Rush.

Well, you did four shifts -- including half of the schedule hole -- so should get the most thanks of all!

Sorry I ended up kind of disappearing from the round; I had to be somewhere at 1:00, and after my shift was over I puttered for a little too long, then had to rush out the door.

Nice crack!fic. I love the drunk!people!penguins and their glowsticks. :D

I mostly slept a lot. (Not as much as I wanted to - can't say no to a friend in need, that's me.) And I built a bookcase. But there was ficcage IN MY HEAD!

...if all the fics in my head were written down, I'd be a lot closer to your cumulative lifetime wordcount than I am. *g*
