Happy 40th anniversary to my favorite series! <3
I drew these as a part of a collaborative poster hosted by @sllentprincess & the incredible team on her discord! Go check out the full poster on her account!
January LU Write-a-Thon Round Up: 246,992 Words in One Day!
On the first day of the year 67 writers came together to see how many words we could write in a single day. From Fic to homework and everything in between, we managed to collaboratively get nearly 250k in 24 hours. Go team!
Lovely event dashboard made by the even lovelier @zarvasace. Superlatives are fun little awards and titles given by participants to participants of the event, and were all chosen with love (and humor). Clubs are self-assigned groups writers could make and join to combine their word counts for friendly competition. Belie the cut is, in order, the Winner’s Circle, Clubs, Everyone Else who received a superlative in alphabetical order.
Winner’s Circle (Top Five Most Wordiest)
At 27,343 words, “Writer of all Time” goes to @twink-between-worlds with one hell of a showing. Well done!
At 19,180 words, “slugwife” goes to @glowingmin
At 12,496 words, “Fight Scene Supreme” goes to @not-freyja
At 11,772 words, fourth place goes to @twizel. Amazing job!
At 11,216 words, fifth place goes to @somer-writes. Congratulations!
