Yeah, this is going to work.

What I currently have in regards to [livejournal.com profile] spn_j2_bigbang:

1. Twenty-four hours.
2. 6500 words.
3. An eyestrain headache.
4. In accordance with that last Daily Show clip, what looks suspiciously like dry-humping.

I believe this is what is commonly referred to as a lesson in futility. *sigh*

And yet I'm not giving up because I am, in fact, INSANE.

Seriously? Good luck! I hope you make it!

I BELIEVE IN YOU. Obsession is for the strong!

I am operating on the principle that at least there is a month to rewrite it. Which is good, because I am actually ashamed of the dreck I'm pounding out this very minute. :)

Yes, exactly. My plan is to throw a bunch of bullshit into a file and fix it later. Which, really, it's crack, it's allowed to look like crap at first.

ok I kinda hate you now cause I've reconsidered my drop out and now I'm super behind.

[identity profile] apocalypsos.livejournal.com 2008-05-01 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, but are you as super-behind as I am? Because I am ridiculously behind considering the most I've ever written in a day is ten thousand words.

I had 11,743 words for my first version but the plot got crossed and now its useless.

So what have I done? Restarted a completely new fic and I currently sit at 1000 words.

Be my support?

WOW. Oh, man, I hope you have today off like I do, seriously.

*crosses fingers for you*

got all day off and I'm gonna make myself some coffee. I just hit 1500. So I hope thats promising.

Okay, if you get twenty thousand words done in one day? You are my new hero. Seriously.

I am pretty much in exactly the same boat as you. I just hit 7,351 words and I'm crossing my fingers that I'll somehow be able to make the deadline by 11:45 tonight.

I saw in comments below you mentioned possibly throwing in a lot of BS to make the word-count and fixing it later. That is NOT a bad idea, seriously. They supposedly aren't even reading this, just checking for word count initially. That's what re-writing is for, right? xD *crosses fingers* Good luck!!
