Please use this thread for discussing Event 6: Word War! Also if you have any questions, you can ask them here as well.

Are there stipulations on what we write?

Like can it be poetry or prose or an essay?

And do you prefer us to use the Word War link on the bottom of the page - or can we just do it in a Word doc and then copy/paste our entry into the Event thread?

So, 24 hours starting now? Or is it when Event 5 ends?

@alliyah you can write poetry, essays, articles, movie scripts, grocery lists, you name it! Just as long as it's not complete nonsense like "hesafh;safhlhksahgsdjkghdlsghsdjghdjghdjsghgh" <----- because that wouldn't be nice.

@Thundahguy I'm going to make a judgement call here and say we're going to start now! START WRITING!!! I REPEAT, START WRITING!

And if you guys want, I'm going to have a WritersFeedPad up for the beginning here! https://holysocks.writerfeedpad.com/37

*Starts tracking every single word she writes all day.*

Does coding count?
Does this very post count?

@Mea oh my word. XP OK I SHOULD specify. Only words INTENDED for the purpose of the WW count- and should mainly be in a sort of order. However you're allowed to do multiple writing projects. Write a poem, then a novel chapter, then a song, etc etc and that is absolutely fine in my eyes. And I'm not going to count code. XP

Also I forgot to mention to alliyah that you just have to write anywhere and then post it all (enspoilered in one post if you can) in the other thread.

@Holysocks is this based off who writes the most of on merit or a combination of both?

@Elinor it is strictly for who writes the most. c: (unless it's obviously something that is like the example above or something like "I love cats" repeated a billion times.)

Can I write a novel from scratch, mostly on my phone, and hit at least 10k in the space of 20 and some hours?
To be determined eventually.

So every free minute I have today must be put towards writing words then?
Huh, interesting

That's right, @RaidenCheese!

@LadyLizz this sounds like a fantastical novel.

@alliyah i have fun with it. the goal is to make it sound as bad as possible.

Is it possible I can just post my word count here and not what I've written ? Or is it necessary to include the excerpts of my work to take part in this contest?

Serious question this time - do reviews count? If they don't, then I'm probably not going to do them until after the contest ends if at all today, which would fulfill the requirement of the words being sensible and being written for the contest. I was just thinking reviewing would be a nice break from the 5 hours of writing I have planned.
