I just did a friends cut. It's nothing personal with any of you, it's just that you don't post, or I don't feel we connect or I think you're not interested in me. If you want me to add you back again, just ask, and I will -- and I'll try to make an effort to connect with you and so on. xD;

In about three hours for me, and more for the rest of you, this weekend's challenge starts. If you want to join in, it's not too late -- let me know your email address and your goal, and I'll add you to the list and send an email round to everyone else letting them know you're joining. Current participants are:

1. shanaqui (10,034/10,000) (THIRD)
2. littlest_spark (10,000/10,000) (FIRST)
3. soleta_nf (10,571/10,000) (FIFTH)
4. anatari (0/10,000)
5. natacup82 (2,002/2,000) (FOURTH)
6. kiwi_from_hell (10,246/10,000) (SECOND)
7. irish_ais (8,097/8,000) (SIXTH)
8. andsheewas (3,000/10,000)

If you're already on the list, you can adjust your amount by dropping me a comment or email. :)

Rules:
1. We start at 5pm, at whatever is local time, and end at midnight on Sunday, also local time.
2. Try to chat to the rest of us on gtalk, or through email.
3. Spam on this post.
4. Keep me updated, via comments or emails, on what your word count is, so I can edit the post as we go along. If you're on gtalk and update your word count, I'll try and check that every so often, too.

To start off the spamming, have some questions:

-What are you working on this weekend? One project? Multiple bits and pieces?
-Is that different from what you normally write?
-Is the target word count the only challenge you've got?
-What else are you up to during the weekend that you have to fit the writing around?
-Is your chosen word count a big stretch for you, or have you written that much before? Easily?
-Doing NaNoWriMo?

Feel free to post snippets here. Since this is a public post, if you'd prefer me to screen or delete them once the weekend is over, say so in the comment. :) You can also arrange word wars in the comments or -- well, anything.

The clever being that is kiwi_from_hell thought up using this -- a chatroom, since we can't do group chats in gtalk.

As you may (or may not) know, I've been taking part in a 10k-in-a-weekend challenge (hosted by soleta_nf) this week, in preparation for this year's National Novel Writing month. I just got finished with mine. For next weekend, I'll be hosting.

Basically, you start at about 5pm local time on Friday. You finish at midnight, local time, on Sunday. This time, I'll let you pick you own goals (you can always alter them as you go), but if you don't give me a specific goal I'll sign you right up for 10k. :p If you want to join, drop me a comment here with your email address, or email me saying you want to join in and tell me your LJ name. Early on Friday I'll email you with everyone's addresses. The preferred messenger is gtalk, but if you don't have that, don't worry. There's always email and commenting on the post I'll put up then. :)

So far, the participants (and goals) are:

1. shanaqui (10,000)
2. littlest_spark (8,000)
3. soleta_nf (10,000)
4. anatari (10,000)
5. natacup82 (5,000)
6. kiwi_from_hell (10,000)
7. irish_ais (8,000)
8. andsheewas (10,000)

Hey, anybody out there. :) The Robin Hood fanwork-a-thon period is over now. Despite the huge prompts list, only fourteen links were submitted to me. :( If you want to look at the prompts and write something now, you can be added to this list -- the prompts are still up, here.

( Cut )

I've been toying with the idea of doing this for a while, but I've finally done a list for mission101. The idea is that you decide on 101 tasks you want to complete, make a list of them, and try to complete them all in 1001 days. With some of them I've written "...for a month", but the idea is that once the month is over I'll have started a habit and will hopefully continue it. These are in, uh, no particular order. xD I've tried to avoid open ended ones that I can't "finish".

I started on my tasks on August 1st 2007, so I aim to be finished on April 28th 2010.

If you take, please credit lightningrapier, but you don't have to credit me. 8D

Whoops, forgot to post today. Bad me. xD

Anyway, still been over with the guys protesting and such. Finished my protest filk and recorded it, and took seven pictures of me to randomly accompany it. You can download the song here, as far as I know.

Some of those look almost the same, I'm sure. I just took a bunch. And there they are.

LJ is supposed to make a statement later. In all likelihood, I will be staying here on LJ, seeing as I have a paid account and all that. We'll see. I'll let you know if I'm going anywhere.

Well, guys, I'm well started with my blog for the blogathon. Please come and watch so I don't feel lonely? :p

Sponsor link is here; you have to sign up for the site, but don't worry. It'll just send you an email telling you when to give your money straight to the RSPCA -- it doesn't go through me or the blogathon organisers.

This post is public because people are linking to me. :D Yay!
