(cross posted to wrianojune and a variation on epicproportion, just doing my obligatory pimp. sorry for any f-list double posts!)

So yesterday I'm at work and writing down the date and I realize that... Holy hell, it's almost June!

That's right, people, it's that time again! wrianojune is open for business!

For those who are new, or those who need a reminder:

What Exactly Is WriDaNoJune?

wrianojune is in its third year, and was invented by our fearless leader Trolligans because he couldn't stand to wait a whole year for NaNo to start. Plus, when you think about all the things that fall in November -- the various holidays that occur and are looming, finals, and other obligations that require attendance, June really is just so much better. Stay inside, prevent skin cancer, write a novel at breakneck pace.

The rules can be found here, and don't hesitate to drop a comment if you have questions.

wrianojune can be found in various places. We have a Myspace page, a Facebook community, of course a LJ comm (welcome, welcome one and all!), and our own forum.

We (the friendly neighborhood mods) also encourage you to participate in word wars and write-ins. These can be held in public places if you've got a group of people participating near you, or they can be held online in chat rooms, on the forums, or here! Please, feel free to use this comm to make your own posts challenging people to wars, pose questions to your fellow sufferers -- I mean, writers -- and just have general conversations about what you're writing, your writing process, things like that.

And with two days to go, let's hear what you're going to work on!

arrrggghhhh. I really want to do this but I know that if I try, I'm going to do a massive fail.

It's sunny outside. I've been running around all day, playing, reading, and writing. I need to read your piece that you sent me (another fail on my part).

*sighs*

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

... And what's your excuse? I'm going to be gone on vacation for a full week in June. I'll be either too busy, too drunk, or too exhausted to write. :p

C'mon. Try. For me? *bats eyes* It might get the Choices muses rolling again.

[gingerlr.livejournal.com]

My excuse is that I'm a lazy loser right now. *grins*

I got about half the next chapter written for Choices and reading Thrace's original piece right now. I'm looking for your piece next and will read that as soon as I finish Thrace's piece. I will have it to you tonight! I'll even send you the next part of Choices.

Please forgive me?

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

No. I don't love you anymore. Now I'm going to go cry in the corner.

(*hugs and kisses* Do a half one? 25K?)

[gingerlr.livejournal.com]

*WAH*

She doesn't love me anymore!

*sobs loudly*

Okay, I'll do the half one. That will give me the kick to finish Choices and start the next epic. I'm sending you something tonight. I promise.

*sniffs loudly and wondering how i can get gracie's love back*

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

You know how I feel about things like this: Write just one word, and you've won. I get the feeling I'm not going to win this time 'round, but I am going to do my level best to at least finish HMC and write on Mageverse.

(I've written more on HMC since I emailed you. It's on the LJ post)

[gingerlr.livejournal.com]

You're frigging awesome. I'll download the newest version and get you something tonight.

I just told sis-in-law that I signed up and that I'm writing a novel in June. She said 'go for it. Can you set the table for dinner?'

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

Every time you talk about your sister-in-law, I sort of fall in love with her a little bit.

[teachwriteslash.livejournal.com]

I'm in ... EI has dibs, but there are a couple of other bunnies too!!!

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

I've got so many things to wrap up -- Howl's Moving Castle, Mageverse, and then original fic are on the list.

[crimsonxangel12.livejournal.com]

So, what exactly are we supposed to write about?? Does it have to be anything in particular, or just whatever we want??

~Thanks, Emily

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

It's basically NaNo in June. Write whatever you want -- fanfic, original, short story collections, epic poetry -- as long as the target goal is 50K words.

[crimsonxangel12.livejournal.com]

Okay, sweet! I'm in!

[teachwriteslash.livejournal.com]

Forgot to mention - make a pimp post on Epic if you'd like!

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

Oh, I certainly will!

[katestamps.livejournal.com]

I will NOT be doing this this year (cause we know how writing challenges do for me - yes Universe, I GET it already!!) but I am hoping to be ready to start Beta-ing on a very limited basis by July. So get to it, you writers!!

<3

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

Yes. Mommy Kate is only allowed to be a cheerleader. *prepares a lawn chair and pom poms for you*

I intend to write, but have just started working so I will see how it goes. I think I'm going to be splitting between my Addams/Torchwood universe, Paralell Torchwoods Parallel Lives Verse (which I am still no further forward in) and the Harry Potter/Torchwood crossover I started during this last June.

[gracie-musica.livejournal.com]

Yay for work! :) And welcome to the challenge.

I'm intending to work on Howl's Moving Castle, Mageverse, and some original fic.

[missthingsplace.livejournal.com]

I've started ... i took my laptop to France with me and managed a whole 3000 words from the 2 - 4 June in my main AU 'verse and bunnies for Vampire!Ianto are trying to bite for TYTNW!!!

Who knows what'll transpire, lol!

I'm trying, that all i can promise for now :)
