[philomytha]

I came down with the lurgy today, so not as much writing as I had planned, but I did manage to get a draft of the final action sequence scribbled down in a notebook this morning before I started feeling grotty...

[regshoe]

Oh dear, I hope you feel better soon! Well done on that draft.

May 3 check-in

[the_siobhan]

Did some plotting last night, and a blog post.

Re: May 3 check-in

[regshoe]

Good work, I hope the plotting is going well :D

[cefyr]

Day 4: 65 words, written very slowly. But I figured out which fic is the closest to being finished, so I can concentrate on that one.

[regshoe]

Well done for those words, and yay for fic prioritisation!

[badly_knitted]

May 4th - 850 words, a double and a triple drabble, and triple and a half.

[regshoe]

Great stuff—what a neat sum of word counts :D

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

day 4

only 109 [2 poems]

[regshoe]

You know, despite the low word count I don't think there's much 'only' about two new poems—well done!

[china_shop]

5th: 622 words of fic, and a lot of meta comments. :-)

[regshoe]

Excellent stuff—lots of meta comments sounds fun :D

[sylvanwitch]

May the Fourth be with you too! (Watch out for the revenge of the Fifth, though!)

Day 4 was another loooong one (but for the same good reason as yesterday), but I did add 317 words of unabashed, glorious smut to Chapter 12, which at this rate is going to be one long sex scene.

[regshoe]

Hee! And yay for a good long day and fitting in some writing, and for unabashed smut :D

[trobadora]

Checking in for the 4th!

[regshoe]

Great :D

[vendettadays]

Great job on the words!

Day 4 - 810 words and finished, now back to another fic for a few days before I got back to edit

[regshoe]

Thank you! And hooray, congratulations on the finished fic :D

[shadaras]

Day 4: ~700 words, but that did get me to the end of my first draft of this fic! Now it's off to a friend to beta...

[regshoe]

Yay, well done on the finished draft :D

[sanguinity]

May 4 is also Reichenbach day, when that stalker Sherlock Holmes murdered my favorite literary mathematician, Professor James Moriarty.

AND it's the day Alice fell down her rabbit hole!

And it's ALSO the day that Johnathon Harker meets Count Dracula!

Altogether a VERY SIGNIFICANT DAY in fandom!

As for my own day, I commemorated all these Very Important Events by writing 450 words on my Flight of the Heron story, bringing it up to 9.7K words-to-date and also the KISSING. On the one hand, this is excellent news, as I despaired at ever getting Keith and Ewen to kiss! OTOH. NOW I HAVE TO WRITE THE KISSING. /o\

[amedia]

I learned about Reichenbach day today from another DW user (yay fandom!), but i did not know it was Alice-down-the-rabbit-hole day!!!!!

SO VERY EXCITE! Thank you!

[amedia]

Day 4: I finished the revisions on the recently-beta'd Guardian/Time Engraver fic. Sometimes we do more than one round of beta-ing, but this time it was ready to post! So I did that. Wheeee!

[ETA] And one more AO3 comment. I'm trying to stay in the habit.

[regshoe]

Excellent work on the revisions, and congratulations on posting the fic, wahey :D And keeping up an AO3 commenting habit is great too.

[phantomtomato]

Finished the sex part of the sex scene.

[regshoe]

Good stuff, well done!

[cornerofmadness]

May the Fourth be with you. as for me it brought 365 words on a story I shouldn't be working on

[regshoe]

Sometimes the things you shouldn't be working on are the most tempting—but it's still progress, so well done!

[yasaman]

Day 4: 659 words for me today, though 116 of those words did get moved to an excess file because I'm not sure if I'm actually going to use them.

[regshoe]

Well done—and writing words that you end up not using can be useful and worthwhile progress, so that absolutely counts too :)

[kate]

Oh, damn, I didn't even noticed it was May the fourth.

A few hundred words of noodling on AUs for me tonight.

[regshoe]

Hooray for noodling on AUs :D

[black_bentley]

Day 4: forgot to actually check in on the day! Didn't do any actual writing of anything new, but made some tweaks to what I've got so far on my h/c fic.

[regshoe]

Good stuff :D

[garonne]

Day 3: 577 words

Day 4: 849 words

If I write about 700 words on Day 5, I will have caught back up to my usual monthly average.

Happy May the 4th :)

[regshoe]

Excellent progress on both days!

[luzula]

Day 4: 300 words of longfic, total wordcount 147,800. Slowing down because I'm in a sex scene and need to find the right words...

Also some beta reading. : )

[regshoe]

Good progress, and yay for finding the right words!

And I hope the beta reading is going well :)

[ysilme]

Belated Happy May the Fourth to you! ^^
Day 4: 300 words - I started working at one of my WIPs again - which is good - but met with the same issue that made me procrastinate with it, not getting the words right on very simple descriptions - which is annoying. But still, better rewriting a phrase over and over again than not writing it at all, right? ;op

[regshoe]

Yay for getting back to a WIP! That is frustrating, but it certainly is better to write what you can anyway and rewrite as needed—and it sounds like you're making progress :)

[carenejeans]

Yay for 450 more words plus extra!

Day 4: 426 words! Still over my daily 200 word minimum. And I was planning to write an alibi sentence, but the words kept coming. 8-)

[regshoe]

Thank you :) And, hee, it's always good when an alibi sentence turns into a bit more... well done!

[lferion]

4 May -- a difficult day, but I did manage a paragraph for the SWG monthly challenge piece.

[regshoe]

Well done getting that paragraph in despite the difficult day!

[ljm]

Day 4: 329 words, and some more editing.

[regshoe]

Good stuff!
