I have 1700-ish words on the first of my stories. If I can get it finished, it will definitely fulfill 1/12 of my goal (with bonus points), so I'm aiming to have it done by the end of January!

[yvi]

Well, I know who I am going to be writing about this month, at least: Kaylee from Firefly. Now to write it...

[lydiabell]

Goal met for January!

[zvi]

I've written the first of my twelve challenge stories, and I've got directions on the two next ones overnight.

I haven't made any headway on 3000 words or more, though. I should go back and look at some of the WIPs on my hard drive. I know that some of them were abandoned because they were turning long.

[crevanfox]

I had a fic started, then I read someone elses take on the same prompt, and it was so much better, and funnier than what I had I scrapped the whole thing.

Now I'm starting over from scratch.

[recessional]

I have done nothing.

But I have a ficathon prompt that might work. Or maybe it will be February's. Right now I have NO BRAIN.

Right now, I have no effing clue what I'm writing this month. However, classes start today, which means that walking to class starts... in about fifteen minutes... so I'm hoping the enforced thinking time will do me some good.

[starlady]

Brainstorming away like mad on alternate history. Having so much fun with the background, actually, that it's delaying my actually writing the fic. On that note...

[torachan]

Well, I have written one fic this month, so I am on track! It was only a double drabble, though, so I would like to get something else written as well (1000+ words would be nice, but another shorter one would be fine, too). I still have over half the month left and I have ideas I'm eager to work on, so I think it's doable. :)

[sabinetzin]

I am, er, 1600 words into my first fic! But it has grown a companion piece. And possibly a whole AU to go with it. ::eyes GDocs suspiciously::

[willidan]

That sounds like a good thing. :)

[idella]

I finished and posted my first story! Next up is deciding what to write now.

[auguris]

Well, I've reached my thousand, but I have to finish it for it to count, and that might not happen for a while. XD

[amaresu]

I'm 2/3 of the way through my Night World re-read. Once I finish that there are so many lovely left over prompts to choose from. It's entirely possible I'll have to do several.

[crevanfox]

Night World is an amazing series. I really can't wait for the last one.

[amaresu]

I'm so excited that it's finally getting a conclusion. And it's held up surprisingly well. I don't think I've read the book since I was about 16 years old and I'm enjoying them just as much now.

[hammerxsword]

Yesterday I found my files of unfinished fic, and have decided which ones to finish for Jan and for Feb. Aiming to get the first one done by 31 Jan, and the second by 27 Feb. That's the plan, at least...

[willidan]

Started to write a Bleach fic, though I'm not sure I'll get it to 1000 words. Right now I"m just happy to be inspired to write. :)

[msdori]

I've been brainstorming and worldbuilding, but haven't actually written anything yet. May switch to something that's already started, and file the serial numbers off later. But at least I'm THINKING about something creative. So, yay.

[telesilla]

I haven't written a damn thing and I really don't know why. Post-travel let down maybe? Hopefully later in the week I'll feel more like it.

[fizzyblogic]

I have begun something! I have ideas for later scenes, and at the moment am still setting up the backstory and trying to figure out if it needs to be from two POVs (with clearly-marked switches) or just from one. I'll probably try it both ways and seeing which is better at telling the story.

[zulu]

I got my first one! Yay.
