:siren:Long Walk Redux: 2024 edition:siren:



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 money respect sex nothing you deserve.

sounds cool how does it work round about the first day of every month 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.

how many terrible words have been written through this thread and the ones before it? Around 4 million. Some of them might have been good? idk

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 most of us hang out in #thunderdome or you can try this Discord channel

where are the previous months The last thread ran for a couple of years, you can find links to the old threads 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

this used to be a monthly thread, I'm experimenting with just having one for the whole year but I'd rather keep the toxx pledges to monthly otherwise it encourages big unrealistic promises to procrastinate on.

So just say something like "I'll write 6000 words this month :toxx:" on it.

That goes for you too Exmond, would you mind tweaking yours to be 'I'll put in two dome entries this month"?
