Everyone still working away you have until this time tomorrow to wrap up and comment here with your update.

If you are still plugging away and want another week of cheers and whips and fires lit under your butts, head on over to Hunt All The Words! hosted by mishaphappens. [I love it when an idea like this takes hold and morphs and grows and becomes yet another thing fandom has to offer. Ella, you're such an inspiration!]

So sorry, lovely! but you can check out mishaphappens's GSD if you think it'll help. I think vaysh might be playing there too. :)

Bellatrix/Hermione - day 7 - done!

Starting Word Count: 1557

My work is: Done with first draft. Editing today. Posting tomorrow!
Snippet:

Bellatrix’s other hand comes up and slowly circles one breast, starting far out, then spiraling inward, building the strain within Hermione. She dreads the coming touch but finds that she longs to feel it. “Oh, oh, oh please,” Hermione chants as she shivers in anticipation.

Re: Bellatrix/Hermione - day 7 - done!

Snippet: Once the food had arrived, he stuck his fork into the peculiar pile of food on his plate. He couldn’t visually identify any of the component parts.

“It’s your own fault,” Nick said, slicing into his own… something. “You kept saying ‘innovative’ to George. He loves shiny new things, but he doesn’t always pick winners.”

You got a lot written this week though! YAY! Hope this little exercise helped. :)

Harry/Draco - charity fic for Nursedarry

(The following is an excerpt from an article appearing in Hogwarts Weekly.)

Patronus Potter: Patron Deity of the Wizarding World

By

Draco Malfoy, Slytherin

At the age of one, Harry Potter became the only person to ever have survived the Killing Curse. At eleven, he was the youngest Seeker in a century. At seventeen, he defeated the darkest wizard the world has ever known. And, any minute now, he's going to walk through the door to this unused classroom and take his seat across from me, ready to give me his undivided attention for the next half hour.

There are hundreds of witches and wizards at Hogwarts, and thousands more beyond the castle walls, who would pay Galleons to be in my shoes at this very moment. Few things would bring them as much joy as the opportunity to question the Boy Who Lived. But I'm not the average wizard. I'm Draco Malfoy, and there's a warm bed waiting for me in the dungeon.

Potter finally deigns to make an appearance eight minutes into our appointment. He yawns as he pulls out the chair, not bothering to cover his mouth. His manners are severely lacking--but he, of all people, needn't worry about proper etiquette; he's something of a god. My mission tonight is to find out if we truly ought to worship this newcomer to the pantheon of the wizarding world.

Draco's voice here is so ... Draco! *loves*

Untitled HP Kinkfest: Super Sekrit Draco pairing

[thepretender501.livejournal.com]

Starting Word Count: 1107
New Word Count: 2489
My work is: Still in progress...but I'm pretty proud of myself. I wrote a scene that I'd been struggling with for weeks. Might have to rewrite but thats OK... it's done for now.
Snippet:

Pansy shrugged and puffed out a ring of smoke.

He didn’t know why but he was quite fond of her. He nodded a goodnight and she lifted her masque in response.

He trailed through the hazy blur of colored gowns and robes and hurried up the staircase, deciding that the Zabini manorhouse was ridiculously convoluted. Cool air wafted over him as he pushed open the large double doors and stepped into the hallway. A few people were filing out towards the Apparition point, but he was largely alone. He glanced at the portraits lining the walls uncomfortably aware that their disapproving eyes were following his every movement. Distracted he walked right into a wall. A wall—with arms and legs and a face. Draco Malfoy’s face.

Ooh, interesting. I wonder who the mysterious other is.

Rorschach Trajectories (Pansy/Draco)

[catsintheattic.livejournal.com]

Starting Word Count: 13.906
New Word Count: 14.729
My work is: Still in progress - but I've added 4.494 words in the last week, only 506 words less than I was aiming for. This was a good way to get back in touch with the story. Thanks!
Snippet:

Draco licked his lips. They were dry and rough, and Pansy wanted to rub some balm into them to keep the cracks from deepening. For some reason, she hated the thought that Draco’s lips would bleed and hurt. There were better places for making him bleed.

Re: Rorschach Trajectories (Pansy/Draco)

[nicevenn.livejournal.com]

Good job!

[kitty_fic]

I wrote nothing on Sunday! :(
I really hated to fizzle out on the last day but RL stress had me feeling way too uninspired!

But I had a goal of 5k for the week and I did exceed that so this little campaign was very successful for me!

<3 <3 <3

[nicevenn.livejournal.com]

Yay for exceeding your goal!

TR/SS - Cold Lust

[inamac.livejournal.com]

Starting Word Count: 1430
New Word Count: 1540
My work is: Finished in longhand draft (more or less), which means another 500 words of so to type up. Due for posting at daily_deviant on 31 Jan

Another couple of days should get the final version into beta-state - thank you for cracking the whip - I’d never have even got near to this without you!

Re: TR/SS - Cold Lust

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

YAY! Excellent! I'm going to mark you as 'done' because sounds like you are just were you need to be to be ready to post by month's end. ;)

Congratulations!

Fic for melusinahp. Harry/Albus/Scorpius. It has a title now: "They Said His Name Was Albus"

Snippet: (optional)
But Scorpius was no longer paying attention. His mouth was on Harry’s skin, his tongue following the line of the cut and the blood that was now flowing. As his tongue scraped across the pale skin, the blood slowed to a trickle. The clotting already begun, but of course, the cuts were shallow. Scorpius knew what he was about. The remembrance of the intimate pain Scorpius’s knife cuts brought and the intense pleasure of his tongue as he licked at the wounds and Albus envied his father’s current position.

Yay for first draft being done! \o/

[okydoky.livejournal.com]

Okay okay okay. So. I didn't complete what I meant to. But I did write:

[sabriel75.livejournal.com]

Excellent job! Woohoo!

And Merlin fandom represent. So happy. :D

[sabriel75.livejournal.com]

What a great mix here!

Must finish my Merlin RPF piece so that this fandom has some representation. So close... and really don't have time but am going to finish if it bugs me to pieces tonight.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

Did you finish, bb? :)

[mijeli.livejournal.com]

Holy sh*t, but that's an impressive list of completed works! I'm so in awe with everyone. Fantastic job, you guys!!

And a huge THANK YOU again to everyone who cheered and encouraged me :) It helped so much ♥ ♥ ♥

“Merlin, yes, harder.”

Draco was fairly sure that any harder and they’d bring the entire goddamn stall down. Still, it’d be rude not to oblige. He sped up, the drive of his hips nearly vicious now, and received a loud moan of appreciation from his lunchtime companion. He stared down at his cock as it disappeared into the hot, tight arse in front of him, the pin striped suit trousers pushed down just far enough to slip in his cock. Fuck.

The bloke started to chant harder, harder, harder, his belt buckle batting against the metal divider with each thrust of Draco’s hips. He pressed his palms to the stall, pushing back until Draco had to rest his shoulders against the opposite divider. He took advantage of the new position, pulling the bloke down onto his cock over and over.

“Yes, yes, fuck, yes. Ngh, right there.”

Draco’s breath was coming hard and fast and he could feel the sweat start to build where his back pressed against the stall. He felt the tingle in his balls that signalled he was close and he sped up his thrusts. He could usually count on six solid minutes for a midday fuck in the toilets, but at the rate this bloke was going they’d bring down the ceiling in half that.

“Oh, shit, I’m going to come.”

Thank, Circe. Draco pulled out as far as he could and slammed back in once, twice, three times before he came, fingers digging into slim hips before he slumped over a heaving back, suit jacket hot and damp against his face.

He took a moment to catch his breath before he straightened up, pushing open the stall door before his companion could even pull up his trousers. Draco let it shut behind him, the room now quiet but for the bloke’s heavy breathing. He turned in the mirror, slipping his wand from his sleeve to cast a quick drying charm. He smoothed the lapel of his jacket, and with a final nod exited the loo.

My work is: Still in progress! But I'm still happy I wrote Every Single Day. AAAAND...I finished a ficlet by pure accident today, which totally counts as getting shit done! I'll try to edit and post it before you end the challenge but the chances are... SLIM.
Snippet: (optional)

Madison slowly steps out into the light. It’s been years since Dean’s hunted one in full form, but Sam is exactly how he described her. She bares her sharp teeth at Dean and her eyes are golden, canine-like. No one would know until it’s too late that she wasn’t human.

“My, what big teeth you have,” Dean says drily.

[catsintheattic.livejournal.com]

Congrats on writing every day and getting so much done.

Oh, Madison! She is scary in that snippet, yet beautiful. Dean's line is priceless - so Dean.

I loved Madison and that episode so much. I'm actually contemplating a ficlet that could be interesting to write, about how she makes the decision to be willing to die. Because what I love most about her is that she is such a fighter, and for a fighter to finally say "This is is, I'm done fighting" that's such a crucial point. And even though it's such a huge issue with Sam and Dean at so many points in the show and in fanfic, too, I would like to explore how some of the minor characters handle the same challenge. Argh! The more I think about it, I realise that this could turn into a whole project of ficlets. Lol.

Sam/Balthazar - Fragile

"You can have that again."

"Dean," Sam tries.

"Aren't you tired?"

Sam says nothing.

"Aren't you afraid of the wall, Sam?"

Sam's breath catches, makes a small noise, and then gives a shaky, hesitant nod. Balthazar can hear it, if he listens carefully. The screams and torment behind the wall. The hellfire cackling and hissing, so hot it's cold, and it freezes Sam's solid every time he unconsciously picks at it in his sleep.

[dark-kana.livejournal.com]

Oh gosh. I completely failed. Too busy, too hectic. :(
But ... *looks at list of completed fics* I think I'm going to enjoy myself enormously when reading all those who did manage to get completely written. :p
And I'm sure I'll get mine finished somehow. Though I have no idea when. *sweatdrop*

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you'll get it done! You can check out the other Get Shit Done, that I linked above, if you are looking for more support. :)

[ginger-veela.livejournal.com]

I'm a day late and a dollar short, but I wanted to thank you for doing this. I wrote more than I otherwise would have, and received lots of encouragement and support.

Migrating to mishaphappens's GSD now for continued (and much-needed) ass-kicking!

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

I'll be over there too for my next fic. :)

The important thing is you wrote! Keep it up.
