I wrote 910 words of my vampire/demon text-porno today.

I also wrote a bunch of words of 'literature' but I'm not counting those toward long walk.

Actually, is there already an irc channel for CC or for this specific event? Did I miss that somewhere? :downs:

#thunderdome on synirc is where most people actually hang out and talk

#longwalk exists but is so far rarely used...mostly just people who are already in #thunderdome idling and never talking

So have you actually managed to grow any hair yet or are you still getting sad about being bald, shaving the whole thing and sulkily looking into the mirror or what

actually, all the hair on my dick is gone, which rules because it makes my small dick look larger without razor bumps

what about you fatass? you lose any dick fat to make your micropenis visible?

5,411 words right now, what about you? how is twiceFAIL going? was the character 'scabs' based on your mom? was the loving tree bitch your sexual fantasy because you could pollinate it or whatever the gently caress trees do instead of using your useless loving dick on it?

Yo, serious question: anybody know any good mags currently taking open submissions? Looking for 3-4K, paid obviously much better than unpaid. I'm tossing up Clarkesworld or Terraform for this month but I'll take other suggestions.

I asked Kaishai two nights ago this question specifically for sci-fi and she recommended:

Asimov's,
Analog,
and F&SF

If you have a strong and unique fantasy world you can try Beneath Ceaseless Skies. It's the only place I ever tried submitting to so far, and the editor actually responds in around a month with a non-form rejection. He might only include a sentence or two about why he rejected it, but it's pretty valuable feedback. That is fantasy only though.

durrr im gonna spend an hour or two researching lifehacks that can make charts for me about how much i didnt write because i'm a baby that can only write like a max of 4k words in a loving month

also i'm gonna brag about how my keyboard doesn't have labelled keys, but then admit later that i can't loving use certain keyboard shortcuts because i don't know where the keys are lmfao

Okay how am I supposed to check everyone's word count? Post Google docs here if you've got them. Admit if you've failed or plan to fail.

Seb told me to check it but you're right I guess...maybe people should just self-report their failures? Seems kind of lame but I don't know if there's a better way?

yeah, or i could just tell you i failed/succeeded and you could trust me because I'm an adult and I don't lie about stupid poo poo.


Everyone in Write About Dragons was an "adult" that regularly failed to meet deadlines and goals!!!

So, for this thing, you show you loving did it or get banned.

There's a really sleazy line you'd have to cross to forge your writing compared to just not reporting yourself to be banned, or even from just posting "I made it."

I feel like to save $10, a lot of people would just post "I made it," but only the biggest failure pieces of poo poo would forge some 5,000 word google doc and send it to me. Probably in the process of creating your forgery, you would say, "Wow, I can't even succeed at this?" and you'd just let yourself get banned.

Well, seb didn't post in the OP, but he asked me at the beginning of the month in IRC to be the word-count checker, so I assumed this was going to be a thing that happened.

I'm just going to delete the table and poo poo and pull out of this

Doesn't sound like it?

Seb needs to be in charge of this instead of me since he made the thread.

If we were all adults, we would just write without having to toxx. I don't really get what the point of this thread is if we don't have to prove we did something.

Yeah I basically was just super fast scanning through to make sure it looked legit, then never looking at it again.

I feel there should be checks on toxxes, but I'm not doing the checking anymore this month

If you want to put into the OP next month that I will be checking etc., then I'll do it next month
