THE LONG WALK 3: June Ever Write  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, May 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? that's not actually a word you mongoloid Long Walk 3: June Ever Write RedTonic: 10k YES HE IS DONE docbeard: 10k SO GODDAM DONE Jonked: 8k DONE LIKE U WOULDN'T BELIEEEEEEVE Martello McSmello: 10k THIS GUY TOO IS DONE Sundae: 35k WOW DONE EVEN SYSTRAN MIGHT BE IMPRESSED BY THE DONENESS OF THIS Sitting Here: 2.5k/week, Monday 2359 PST (10k total) YES DONE YES YOU ARE THE SITTING HEREST SITTING HERE Crabrock: 10k/wk, 50k total DONE LIKE A DOGS DINNER ASSUMING THAT DOG IS ALSO A PROLIFIC WRITER OF WELL-CRAFTED PROSE Bad Seadoof: 20k DONE, YOU KNEW YOU COULD DO IT IN YOUR HEART Schneider Heim: 4k DOOOOOOOOOOONE IN A SMALL BUT PERFECTLY FORMED WAY DocKlock: 40k (plus submit story, send novel to editor)  FAILFAILFAIL Thanguy: 8k DONE LIKE A TUN OF PUNS Killfast37: 40k FAILFAILFAIL painted bird: 20k FAILFAILFAIL Capintastical: 7k DONE HURRAH kurona_bright: 6k YAH DONE DON'T WORRY BOUT THE QUALITY C'S GET DEGREES grizpat: 10k HE MAY BE OLD IN NICKNAME YEARS BUT HE'S YOUNG IN BEING DONE sebmojo fucked around with this message at 02:26 on Jul 2, 2015 |

The goal is 8,000 words by the end of the month, with the subgoal of 2,000 words each week. Right now this WILL be including TDome stories. I'm going to slowly ramp up the weekly/monthly word goals as we get closer to November. 6/8 Goal: 2088/2000 words 6/15 Goal: 3453/2000 words 6/22 Goal: 1187/2000 words 6/30 Goal: 825/2000 words Monthly Goal: 7553/8000 words Jonked fucked around with this message at 05:14 on Jun 26, 2015 |

Count me in for 35,000 words in June. These will almost certainly be spread across multiple works, but proof of 35,000 words should be easy enough.

Link to the thing I've got so far. It's a mess right now; there's continuity errors all over the show and poo poo, because I wrote it over two months and didn't touch it for weeks at a time before knocking out 3k in a day sorta thing. Please do point them out as I just know I'm gonna miss some on my own. Anybody who gives it a crit, I also owe crit/s of equivalent size. It's 8k, so if you crit the whole thing I owe you 4 2k crits or 2 4k crits or w/e. SurreptitiousMuffin fucked around with this message at 09:10 on Jun 1, 2015 |

SurreptitiousMuffin posted:Please tell me this isn't just the erotica thread reborn. Clearly, you need to write more so you can post updates and drown out all the sinful word counts with their curvy 8's and 0's. Next up... two chapters from a different novel and then back to the first one again. Maybe a little writing tonight, but once people show up tomorrow morning, I must stop and be sociable/boozable.
