Round 58 is over!

Round 58 is over, and what a splendid round!  We saw new faces writing, and old faces returning and writing, and new and old faces modding usurping and sharing the glee.  (Well, actually, we didn't see anyone's face at all, but we did see their icons, and that's cool too.)  The early start and free-for-all was a fine kick in productivity, and much glee has been had.  And our very own [livejournal.com profile] a_q scored her first NaNoWriMo win, even as we watched!

We must now crown a new Champion Usurper for this round:  [livejournal.com profile] a_phoenixdragon, aka [livejournal.com profile] a_phoenixdragon, who covered NINE HOURS of emergency stunt modding overall.  This includes both free-for-all and Emergency Backup modding.  And this is her FIRST TIME as a mod!

Also offer your cheers to [livejournal.com profile] glinda_penguin, who returned to mod after a very long hiatus, and [livejournal.com profile] clocketpatch, who also modded for the first time!

Thank all of them, as well as the rest of the Mod Squad:  [livejournal.com profile] xandromedovna, [livejournal.com profile] sidlj, [livejournal.com profile] a_q, [livejournal.com profile] lost_spook, [livejournal.com profile] juliet316, [livejournal.com profile] idlewild_, [livejournal.com profile] isdon_isgood9 (another old hand making a welcome return), [livejournal.com profile] lothithil, and myself, [livejournal.com profile] lolmac.

Take a moment now and boast of your accomplishments!  What did you do, how many dragons did you defeat, and how many empty pages did you drown in words?  Tell us all!!

Cheers to [livejournal.com profile] a_phoenixdragon! And also to all the mods, old and new, and to Beth for schedule-wrangling the entire shebang!

I got 1631 words written (all in the last three hours - go procrastination!) and the story is close enough to finished that I can promise it will be posted on the 3rd, no problem. The idea for the beginning of the fic came to me sometime Saturday, but I wasn't sure where it was going and so I fudged on even getting started.

It's easy to forget that sometimes fics will write themselves if you just give them half a chance! :-D

Thank you mods, especially Mandy! Way to go!

I was mostly gone this round due to Thanksgiving weekend family obligations, but I hope everyone else did well. And congratulations to [personal profile] a_q for winning NaNoWriMo!

I used this rush to work on an Advent Challenge. Of the 25 prompts:

6 are totally done
6 have outlines
and 5 have some kind of scene or character idea
(then there are the 8 I have no clue about but they don't have to be posted until 9th so I have a little wiggle room to come up with something)

I completely forgot it was fic_rush, but I spent the entire weekend (when I wasn't doing Important Stuff) chatting with a friend hashing out various oddments of backstory for my current writing project, so I'm calling that a win. :D

Now I've got to find time to backread the _48 comm for this round. ^_^

Thank you all for cheering me on! :D And for a fun Fic Rush round, of course!

It was a fun rush as always. Also, yay to [livejournal.com profile] a_phoenixdragon for all the usurpation. And cheers to her and [livejournal.com profile] clocketpatch for first time usurpations.

Look forward to December's rush!

I wrote over 20,000 words over the course of the three days, and won NaNoWriMo.

Yeah, I've had to step away from LJ in the last two months. I'll be posting the new poll later today.

Congratulations on the NaNo win! :D

Everyone here was so marvelous! And wow...nine hours? O_O Didn't feel like nine hours. *Chuckles*

I had fun (despite being nervous) and everyone was absolutely lovely. Man, I love this comm!!

Welcome back to the freshly returned Mods! And thank you, thank you to all for an awesome Fic_Rush!

*Happy!Hugs*

I gleefully bow to the new Imperial Usurper! Usurpationcorn truly has smiled upon you, [livejournal.com profile] a_phoenixdragon!

I...was definitely not on my a-game this round. But I managed to get some art drafts turned in and 14 pages of thesis written, so that's cool.

*secretly plots her comeback*
