THE LONG WALK 2: May Need Help  so what's this then this is where you get to do something about writing that novel you've always had inside you and can finally get all the sounds cool how does it work round about the first day of every month I put a thread up and you post in it to say how much new writing you're gonna post by 2359 PST on the last day of that month. there might be a little general leeway at the end of the month, but don't count on it and don't ask for extensions. lol imma post one word 'lol' there I won lol there's a 4k word minimum. you can pledge more if you like, but 4k is the ante. what happens if I gently caress it up every promise has to have a  attached. you fail, you get banned.how should I post my stuff up to you, but a link to a gdoc with comments enabled is best that way you won't restrict your publication options later. can I do short stories sure. It has to be new words (prose, poetry, limericks) but otherwise you can post whatever as long as you make the wordcount can I critpost, shitpost, or shart my jorts don't really care, it's not the thunderdome so just follow the exhortations of your clotted goony heart but keep in mind that detailed crits of longform stuff aren't super useful; better to keep them general. normal CC rules apply so be harsh but helpful is there an irc channel yes, if you've signed up: synirc, #longwalk where are the previous weeks April who tells the mods if i gently caress up and don't make it anyone can call in a failed toxx; right now it's likely to be me, we'll see how that works out (if someone else wants to take over this role I'll post it here) who checks i've done it i could just not and say i did lol you need to satisfy me, which isn't a high bar tbh, but I'll probably need to see something, up to you what that is how long are you gonna do it for at least a year, but if it's working for people there's no reason it couldn't go on longer ock? look what does that even mean Long Walk 2: May Need Help sebmojo, 6k (half by 17 may) yep entenzahn 5k woot doneburgers  killfast37 25k FAILED TOXXLou Begas Moustache 10k yee ha partner Dr Kloctopussayy, a frankly deranged 40k in 10k tranches whoa nelly done gj doc! redtonic 5k done Mrenda 20k yessers ravenkult 10k yes but ewww Grizpat's long-lost lovechild, 5k hhhhhhhheeeeee did it Bompacho 4k FAILED TOXX BUT ALREADY BANNED, CUNNING LITTLE VIXENangel opportunity 30k (10k by saturday, which is doneburgers) sitting here, 9k (7k short, 2k novel) ya fartello 5k & spaceship crits yeah capntastic 6k, 3k by 17 May sure chthonic bell: 5k with 2.5k by May 15 (if they re-reg) yes kurona_bright 4k why yes crobrarkc 5k uhuh screaming idiot 4k yes (still buffoon) docbeard 5k DID IT morning bell 5k failed toxx, dooming a sweet moomintroll av dam usurreptitious muffin 4k yes hOPPER uk 5K yes sebmojo fucked around with this message at 02:49 on Jun 2, 2015 |

I'm going for three short stories of at least a third-draft level of quality but since that doesn't fit your preconceived notion of an  appropriate goal I will pledge 5k instead. Good day, sir/madam.

Okay, I followed the first thread but didn't join. But I want to push myself to write something other than just Thunderdome prompts, so 4k words for May.

This month is going to be a rough one for me, what with apartment hunting and overtime and other bullshit, so put me down for a modest 4k. Not mindblowing by any means, but I also mean to do TD stuff as well. I'm also going to try to edit my first novel after I finish this latest scene. Will Kevin Arc and his allies defeat Amadeus, the autistic cyborg pseudo-messiah?!! Yes, but how? EDIT: on the 4k

in for 5K again, a minimum of half of which will be devoted to one of the two longer projects I started in April, rather than to the new and the shiny. Any Thunderdoming I do this month is not to count toward the 5K. I want to actually stick to a larger work rather than leaving it to rot from distraction.

In for 5k again. I'll be doing a lot of re-writing and editing this month, so new word-count will be low, but I'll thunderdome once or twice to make up for it.

 I actually finished the story and it's just shy of 10k. I have been writing literally all day, so yeah. I will write some more poo poo for part II to satisfy the 10k, but it will not be done for like 30 minutes.
