September LU Community Write-a-Thon Round Up: 405,699 Words in One Day!
Welcome back to another roundup! In this fourth monthly Write-a-thon, held September 1st from 12 am to 12 am, we had 73 writers join us in our game to write as many productive words as humanly possible. And these amazing writers put their heads down, picked their pencils up (or keyboards, as appropriate), and slammed out over 400,000 words! This is an amazing accomplishment, thank you all so much for coming — this month was a blast!
Directly below are the general statistics for this month (so much credit to the lovely @zarvasace) followed by the Winner’s Circle, Clubs and the Superlatives sorted in alphabetical order. This month, the statistics and clubs were self-reported through submission sheets — superlatives, as every month, were assigned by other members of the event. Thanks again to @zarvasace for putting together all of our lovely spreadsheets, to the mods for helping us run this event, and to all of you for coming!
Winner’s Circle (Top 5 Most Wordiest)
At 25,354 words, “Writer of all Time” goes to @haloburns! This new moderator has managed to blow everyone out of the water with an absolutely STAGGERING count! Amazing job, can’t wait to work with them next month!
At 21,318 words, “The Documentation” goes to @irenkaferalkitty, for managing to break 20,000 words and amazing everyone with the detailed spreadsheets and documents!
At 20,602 words, “Long Hauler” goes to @hytiaa in honor of their third-place victory and the sheer amount of words they managed over only 24 hours!
At 20,588 words, “So Incredibly Fast” goes to @glowingmin! Are you sure you had a pen in your hand instead of a bolt of lightning?!
At 18,650 words, “The Studious” goes to @nebulapaws. You’ve channeled all your energy into writing this month, and you’ve got a veritable novel of words to show for it!
Clubs
This month was our second month of clubs! In these, participants were allowed to come together and find common ground around a chosen topic or theme. These clubs were completely public, so anyone could join the fun and combine their word counts for some friendly competition. Thank you all for playing, check out your stats below!
🧀 Cheese Cult 🧀
Easy, peasy, and cheesy!
“Pathetic Wet Cat” goes to @cinis0 as sincerely nominated by themselves.
“Skip’s Suitor A” goes to @hotcheetohatredwastaken, who also earned “Doing Gouda.” Seems the cheese cult managed to drag the cheese into it! Currently fighting Freyja for Skip’s hand.
“The Evil Mastermind” goes to @imperialkatwala for your wonderfully painful Fierce Deity Malon snippets!
“Star of the Show” goes to @lunaopus for getting over 1000 stars, more than double the second place most starred person, and breaking our out-of-context channel!
“Model Citizen” goes to @maddrumsticks who would, quote: “never think of taking a bribe to stay in the Cheese cult with cheese sculptures of Ravio and the very accusation is slander.”
Additionally: @life-in-winter, @lennsart, @labyrinthdancer.
🕶️ New Blood 🕶️
All first-time participants in the Write-A-Thon, but what a word count!
“Whump Enjoyer” goes to @twists-and-turns, I’m sure they know what they did.
Additionally: @glowingmin and @hytiaa both in the Winner’s circle!
👣 Stardust Crusaders 👣
“For the love god… DROP THE MEAT” (This is an inside joke that’s incomprehensible to the mods)
“Time Traveler” goes to @marsnoodlesoup whose last message before chats closed was a Happy New Year one! Anything you want to warn us about?
“Honorary Insomniac” goes to @sodapop-glitch, who went to sleep late enough to deserve an honorary place in the all-nighter club!
Additionally:
@nebulapaws from the winner's circle!
🐰Ravio Fan club!!🐰
For those of you that love bunnies, purple, and most importantly, money.
The organizer of this club, @baileyboo2016, earned “Cult Leader.” and “I thought you were Ravio, turns out you’re just Shadow” because the Build-a-Four needed a Shadow and you were the funniest option!
“Skip’s Suitor 1” and “Stressed Out Parent” go to @not-freyja, who was mostly just already stressed about NaNoWriMo. Also fighting Cheeto for Skip’s hand.
“Idolatry’s Spokesperson” goes to @tashacee, in honor of her gleeful taunting of the already agonized readers after the last chapter.
“Is this a Robbery, a Ravio Impersonation, or Just Capitalism?” goes to @winterfen for changing their screen name to “Hand your rupees over right now.”
🌘All Nighters🌘
For those of you that, despite multiple requests to take a break, buckled down to get that word count. Sleep is for the weak.
“Cheerleader” goes to @nancyheart11 for her constant encouragement and support of her fellow writers!
“Crack Extraordinaire” and “The Memer” go to @whatvioletdoes-blog who made enough memes during the event to break a personal record (13 in a day)!
“Spreadsheet Artiste” goes to @zarvasace for the gorgeous spreadsheets everyone loved!
🧼Soap Club🧼
The organizers still do not endorse eating inedible things.
“Word Goal Sharpshooter” goes to @hyrulescarlet who aimed for the same word count as last month and finished with the exact number!
“Silent Leader” goes to @shadedheart138 who came in, started a soap club, and said nothing else.
Additionally: @anime-obsessed, @bluury2, @druidbottles and @starlight-eclipsed.
Fierce Deity Fanclub
They’re all masked up and ready to go!
“Fierce Deity Dance Crew” goes to @musical-chan for their dancing FD gifs, and they also earned “Time Traveler” for their references to last year’s Write-A-Thon (we are… three months in…) and warnings that February's Write-a-thon will end in disaster.
Additionally: @artsyanonymity and @cat-at-a-writing-desk.
🍞Bread Club🍞
Everyone gets a Brog! (A.K.A. Bread 👍)
“Permanently Exhausted Pigeon” goes to @nyastri, who despite not being in the all-nighter club, only slept 4 hours in the entire event.
“The Words of Wisdom” goes to @wildlysilver for giving some really good advice during the event! It was very appreciated.
Additionally: @toyouhellohowareyou.
🐭The Cheesus Church🐭
“Cheesus is the Way, The Truth and the Light.”
“Reat Jesus” and “Angst Lord” go to @sketchy-potato who spent the last two events killing off every character they could get their hands on.
Additionally: @lemoncatssss.
👻Spooky Club🎃
Embrace the Spooky: Set your Skeleton free today! (The moderators do not support freeing the skeleton, though, it’s better off imprisoned)
“Aimed for Funny Number” goes to @harmonysixx, who went for exactly 666 words. Spooky!
“Leader of Spooky Club” goes to @somanyfanficssolittletime, and all of that time is spooky time!
“Club Collector” and “Extracurricular Extraordinaire” go to @vivalaplutothedachshund, who was also the second in command of the soap club, loves cheese and slept so little they could have been in the all-nighter club.
🐦Skyloft Knight Academy🐦
Write Like the Wind, Crimson!
“Four When Not Split” goes to @four-eyed-nerd, who is apparently just regular Four.
“The Silent One” and “Stressed Out Parent” go to @silvrash-797, who still managed to write a bunch around… 2.9 kids?
Additionally: @artemistorm and @emberlylion.
Everyone else
She may have only been “There in Spirit”, but this month @a-manicured-lawn got the best award of all: “Touching Grass.” Good job.
“Cheese Sculptor” goes to @aurora-boreas-borealis for bribing someone with… a cheese sculpture of Ravio, to not jump ship on the Cheese Cult for the Ravio Club. I am still waiting on those pictures.
“Keyboardist” goes to @bittirsweeteer for their amazing self-made setup. It has Ravio in it. Guys Ravio is in their keyboard. He dances and everything.
“Tried Something New” is a shiny badge of honor for @bluevaractyl because quote, “They came in during the last 8 hours and still wrote words!!! go Blue <3”
“Schrodinger’s Cat” is apparently @gerudoevernight and the only explanation given there was “Because I can :)” …or can you? Have to check.
“Bookbinder of the Year” goes to @gia-d for her gorgeous work on making fics into physical books people can hold in their hands. Also “Americanismized” for struggling through writing a fic with an American co-author… and an Australian spell check.
“Slow and Steady (WPM)” goes to @hyrulescarlet for taking breaks to take care of themself! Exercise! Stretch! Good job!
“Deus Ex Machina Herself” goes to @needfantasticstories since this whole operation is actually her fault. Good job Skip. And with how many people you have fighting for your hand, you are also voted this month’s “Prom Queen.”
“Lost in the Sauce” goes to @passerinesoncaffeine who rolled into the event late… because they were reading fic. Well done. You got the spirit.
“Assigned Beer by Starwolfie” goes to @rebornofstars, who is apparently not a bee anymore!
“Aimed for the Funny Number” also goes to @savimatteo2810, who went for exactly 69 words (nice!).
“Silent, Happy in her Lane” and “Focused” go to @sunny-porridge, who was largely silent but consistently joined sprints.
“Silent One” goes to @sydneymaxstripe, who didn’t talk but still did a great job!
“Aimed for Funny Number” goes to @the-au-collector, who aimed for and reached 666 words!
“Rhythm Writer” goes to @weavingstarlight, whose prose, quote: reads like it has been set to music and is truly gorgeous.”
“Plotter” goes to @woahtherebuckerino, who plotted out an entire new multi-chapter fic instead of working on their many WIPs.

As someone who doesn’t comment, this motivated me to do it more often
huh. so. i didn't totally get the "nobody comments on ao3 anymore" thing at first, and was a little annoyed bc i don't think commenting should be an obligation, but also... i looked at my most popular fic and it's 451 kudos and 27 comments. i mean sure, kudos-ing instead of commenting makes sense if you liked it but didn't love it, but that feels like an unrealistic ratio of liking it to loving it? anyway the point is i get what people are talking about now. i don't resent people who didn't comment but also, yeah, like wow.
