…only not really. Maybe… write-or-be-slapped-lightly-about-the-face-with-a-feather. By you, I mean, because I can’t do that sort of thing over the internet.
In the spirit of fic_rush@LJ, which is, as far as I know, not running this weekend, and sherlockbigbang@LJ, whose mandatory writer check-in is on Monday (not that I’m behind or anything), may I invite all weekend
warriorswriters to The Antidiogenes Club.Here are your rules:
- Write as much as you can between now and the end of the weekend.
That’s basically it. o/
If you want to play along, here is what you can expect:
- There’s a chat room: #antidiogenes on irc.fdfnet.net. Please feel free to come over and whine about what you are writing, how annoying writing is, how much more fun writing would be if you had nachos/a margarita/a well-oiled pool boy, et cetera. We are going to try and encourage people to remain on topic, but we are going to be interpreting “on topic” faaaiirly loosely. But basically: free cheerleading, over in IRC. *points thataway*
- We’re also queuing up hourly reminder posts on antidiogenes@tumblr.com, to ask how it’s going. Feel free to reblog or reply to let us know, and to commiserate with your fellow sufferers.
And before you ask, no, it’s not strictly Sherlock and it’s not strictly fic, since the pains of writing are pretty cross-genre, though given the sherlockbigbang deadline and the general thrust of both my and roane’s blogs, I am anticipating that there will be a sort of Sherlockian thrust to this enterprise. So to speak.
Anyone else in?

So Gins messages me and says “I have a question about IRC. And life.” And then this came about. So. Who’s in? Got a project you’re working on? Come commiserate!
I, frankly, have I no idea what I’m working on.
The Johnlock Gift Exchange fics are due this weekend too!
Sounds like an idea to me! I’m running low on people who I haven’t whined to so much that they don’t want to hear about it anymore.
