October LU Write-a-Thon Round Up: 325,329 Words in One Day!
Welcome back to another Write-a-thon roundup! This October 1, @not-freyja and I (@hotcheetohatredwastaken) got together with 70 other writers to once again write as many productive words as possible within 24 hours! And we’re here, once again, to celebrate all of you that participated below! Thank you for coming!
(Credit to @zarvasace for the creation and organization of the round-up sheet (see the link to the full thing at the end of this post), and to @whatvioletdoes-blog for putting together this month’s superlatives. Superlatives were anonymously assigned by other participants, and clubs were self-assigned. Coming up is the Winner’s Circle, Clubs, and everyone else in alphabetical order)
