And what a round we had!

Only one item of crackfic was added to our badly warped collection, but it was a doozy:  [livejournal.com profile] curuchamion's first contribution to the crack.

The Russian Cheese Mafia attempted to move our cheese off the internet; the brutes kidnapped [livejournal.com profile] jjpor and ate the Time Chicken, and we had to mount a Daring Rescue Mission to save him!  We acquired Engine-X, and don't ask where it is now.  We added flamingos to our menagerie (was that your doing, [livejournal.com profile] floren8?), enjoyed the antics of the motorcycle-riding space pirates, and manged to keep most of the penguins from getting drunk this time.

Seriously:  in spite of the DDoS attacks and the frustration with outages, we kicked ass.

We had new folks and regulars, and new regulars.  We had writing!  Lots and lots of writing!  So comment to this post and brag about it!  (Gentle reminder:  do not post excerpts here; do link to posted fic when available.)

As always, my deepest gratitude goes out to the Mod Squad; even more than usual on this weekend.  You folks absolutely rock:
[livejournal.com profile] dbskyler, [livejournal.com profile] pitry, [livejournal.com profile] lullabymoon, [livejournal.com profile] isdon_isgood9, and the newest recruit, [livejournal.com profile] chibifukurou!

Keep an eye on the comm!  I'll post the poll to choose dates for the May round in a few days.

Managed to squeeze in a tiny bit of writing, right at the end there! A wee Doctor Who drabble North Oceanic Outpost (http://community.livejournal.com/gen_drabble/62296.html), involving alien fish...

I officially started my [community profile] help_japan fic! 307 words!

The plot is still not completely figured out, but at least the fic has a beginning now. :D

:DDDD I just found this icon - I've been looking for a suitably awesome J'onn icon for A Long Time. :-)

*guilty* Who? Me? 'Course not! C: But they are kind of cool, aren't they?

I repeat: the most productive weekend of my life! And the most fun I've had writing in like... yeah... you guys get the picture :D

Love all of you and will come back next round! (I promise to bring some more flamingos to those who miss them :D)

I did lots and lots and lots of editing, and a fair bit of writing (650 words aka the crackfic) - posted five stories, decided what needs doing about several others, AND (because I got mixed up and thought the 'rush wasn't over yet by the time I made it back to a computer) opened up a WIP I thought I'd abandoned and discovered that it's way more viable than I thought. So I have something to go through thirteen archived drafts and four outlines of and DO SOME MORE WRITING, go me! :D

I shall post links for all my finished fics to the fic gallery, yes! :-)

I wrote maybe 500 words while trying to entertain a friend (he did come for my birthday after all), so I'm happy though I'm also sad cause this is the first rush where I haven't been able to spend at least one day in front of the coputer just writing :(

As soon as my second beta gets the fic back to me and I get it posted, I'll come and post a link to it!

Congrats to everyone who got writing/editing/cheering done!

In spite of those bounders from the Russian Mob, I got another chapter of my slightly odd Doctor Who fic done, so I was pleased about that:

Not so pleased about them feeding one of my typing fingers to a penguin, but I got off lightly I suppose... :D

I don't blame the penguin...

And it will, won't it? I mean, they do, right? Right??

Ah, see, that was where I was going wrong - I was using glowsticks...

Brags!

Regeneration (http://persiflage-1.livejournal.com/426843.html) (Characters: Martha, the Doctor, the TARDIS, Sarah Jane, Liz, Clyde, Rani, Harry Sullivan | Rating: PG-13 | Spoilers: S1 - S4)

(The fic ended up too long for one LJ post, so I split it over 2. The link above goes to part 1, and part 2's linked from there.)

I wrote roughly 4000 of its 14000 word count on Saturday during fic_rush.
