I was a slacker last night when I saw I was on for the day, but in my defence we did have a power cut. However, I have firmly picked up that slack this morning by writing 1007 words of porn in my Shadowhunters offering (part two of the Pool Party fic I posted last week) and I am pumped!

Passing it on now to the lovely katleept and here's hoping you do as well, my dear!

Word Wars! We have a plan!

I'm thinking three rounds of Word Wars today, to try to get around the clock and the globe a bit. Hey, by the way, how cool is it that we're all around the globe like this? :)

Anyway, thinking these times below. Can tweak a half hour in either direction if it's better, so let me know. Otherwise, see you here, then?

5pmUTC/1pmE/10amP
- Four rounds of 25 minutes each, with 5 min at the bottom of each half hour to squee.

9:30pUTC/5:30pmE/1:30pmP
- Four rounds of 25 minutes each, with 5 mins of happy dance per half hour.

2amUTC/10pmE/7pmP
- Four rounds of 25 min each, with 5 minutes of ‘yay!’

Word Wars! Round One is done! Back at 5:30pmE

We will be back at 2amUTC/10pE/7pP for a third- yes a third - set of Word Wars! Because today, two wasn't quite enough.

Word Wars, Set #3 of 3! Finito!

Yes, in case we hadn't been way too obvious about it (sorry, sorry for all the posts) we had a third set of Word Wars!
