Bring out your dead - it's the 2023 WIP Push!

[haldoor.livejournal.com]

Hello everyone! It's time for 2023's first long challenge, and it's a WIP Push!

               

I know you've all been waiting for this! Bring out those 'mostly dead' fics you always hoped to finish and, like Miracle Max, let's breathe life into them!

If you miraculously get a WIP finished and posted between now and the end of Feb, you'll win yourself your very own WIP Push COMPLETED banner! If you perform a minor miracle by adding some words to a WIP, but don't quite manage to finish by the end of the challenge, you'll get a WIP Push PARTICIPATED banner! In addition, you get the joy of adding words to this year's count! WOOT! It's win-win, right?

Feel free to use the icon I've added to this post, or any other WIP icon you have in stock, as you go. I'm making this one my default for the six weeks of the challenge with the hope it might make me actually remember to write!

I will check in with you all once a week to see how you're going, and offer up a few prompts in case you need them. Any questions? Ask here or in any of the weekly posts.

Ready, set, GO!!!

Can't say it's 'mostly dead'...but I'm still working through the NaNo project, so hopefully I can finish it in another month

That graphic is killing me.

I have a fic I think I used the last time we did this and didn't finish it. 🤣 I've only been working on it for like seven years now. Let's pray this is the year I finish it.

And now all I can think of is, "You've been mostly dead all day."

You can do it! ;-)

I've edited two chapters in my quest to get to new material. It's not much, but it's a start.

WOOT! That is a brilliant start!

[asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I usually do okay with the edits and then fall flat when it's time to get back to the plot. LOL

Well, I have faith you can do this! Go, go, go!

[asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :D Got nothing done on Friday or over the weekend, but I'm hoping to work on chapter three while I eat lunch. :D

Haha I lovvve the banner, am stealing it.

I will be on vaca and hope to invest part of it on a WIP!

No problem - go for it! I have to admit the unfinished text came with the graphic I found, but I tweaked things a bit and added more text.

YAY! Good luck, my dear!

I have a few stories I need/want to wrap up. Poor Xander being at the top!

That's such a pretty graphic. <3

Sadly I don't have any WIP lying around somewhere. I only have one that I never posted online but it's actually finished.

Thanks - I have to admit the unfinished text came with the graphic I found, but I tweaked things a bit and added more text.

Never mind, we can use your cheering! You could also finish any half-made graphics if you have them!

I have so many WIP to finish. Hopefully I can pick one and finish it.

Done!

Thanks for running this which gave me the push to finish this fic.
