[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...

May 3 check-in

[the_siobhan]

Did some plotting last night, and a blog post.

[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.

[badly_knitted]

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

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

day 4

only 109 [2 poems]

[china_shop]

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

[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.

[trobadora]

Checking in for the 4th!

[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

[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...

[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.

[sanguinity]

You are very welcome!

[phantomtomato]

Finished the sex part of the sex scene.

[cornerofmadness]

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

[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.

[kate]

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

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

[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]

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

Re: May 3 check-in

[regshoe]

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

[regshoe]

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

[regshoe]

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

[regshoe]

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

[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 :)
