Omg!!

[capitu]

I think I'm going to vomit.

So, somehow I signed up for this thing:



Now the prompt is up and I'm kind of hyperventilating. :D

What was I thinking, right? As if I can write. As if Drabbles are easy to write. Christ! *laughs like a maniac*

I really don't know what got into me (Yes I do; the crazies, that's what), and you see, I remember reading the rules (over and over, too!) and today I see I only have FOUR days to write a drabble and I'm DYING here.

How do you people do this all the time is beyond me. You are all heroes.

And I'm going to die.

But never mind that. Please watch slythindor100! It'll be fun! *breaths* and the voting with be fun, too! :D lol

You brave little Puff!!! Braver than me for sure! Hahaha! \o/ Go Capi, go! <3

[capitu]

I'm trying to be brave! And you know, it'll fun, in a complete masochist way it will. :D

[my_thestral]

Uhm, I don't do it all the time, the fests exhaust me and scare the shit out of me, and when I see one I like I'm more like "Oh, no, down, writing urge, down you silly thing!" rather than "OMG; I can't wait, I'm so going to nail this thing!". So, yeah - I hear you!
*throws a pack of house-elves, specially trained to write stuff for panicking people into the express mail and adds Hermione Granger's newest best-seller: "Girl, you know you can!" for good measure.*
But seriously, you can! :) You write all the time and now you're only going to write about two characters you love best and what your imagination dictates rather than how many people drowned in the nearest river because of a heat wave. I'm sure those two have plenty to say to each other in your head! You can totally rock this! :)
*offers you fake Felix felicis and smiles a toothy grin that's supposed to be encouraging but could alternatively be used to scare babies*

[capitu]

I need all the Felix Felicis!!!! Not even kidding. >.<

I'm more like "Oh, no, down, writing urge, down you silly thing!" rather than "OMG; I can't wait, I'm so going to nail this thing!"

NOW I get that. I swear! I used be all, 'you can do this, there's nothing to be afraid of!'

Ha! Good one, me. LOL

*chews nail* Send help!

[birdsofshore]

You're going to be wonderful. I can't wait to read it! Be BOLD :D

[capitu]

I'll be bold. And italics! *laughs at her silly own joke* LOL

[besamislabios]

I'd be just as nervous as you, probably even more, but I'm sure you can do it!
Have you ever written something?
Either way good luck!! \o/

[capitu]

Back in the early days (I'm talking about... what, 10 years?) I wrote a bit of Harry/Ron, but never for fests or anything, always for fun, and always kind of badly. LOL

Thank you though! Luck is much needed. <333

[nia_kantorka]

Ah, you go, darling!

I'm sure you'll make something good out of your prompt. And if you need someone to whine to, just write a message. It'll be nice for a change when I'm not the one talking your ears bloody about some persumed writing skills (<-- me, not you, hon!) and I'm sure you'll do fine. Just think about the wounderful ficlet you wrote from Bird's fic titles.

And I'm sure you're not only having me to cheer you on.

*sends positive vibes and hugs*

[capitu]

Oh yeah! The ficlet I wrote for birds. I'm very proud of that one. Thank you for reminding me! Really! I feel better.

And yes, fear not, there will be whine pronto. <3333

[torino10154]

LOL You'll be fine! Probably. ;)

[capitu]

Possibly probably. *grim nod*

lol

[this-bloody-cat.livejournal.com]

Shush, you ♥ You're going to be great at this, fabulous, I can tell! :)

[capitu]

♥♥♥ Your faith in me means everything. <33

[dicta-contrion.livejournal.com]

Yay yay yay!!!! Go, you, go!!!

You're going to be fantastic!! Just joined slythindor100 just this very second and cannot wait to read! ♥♥♥

[capitu]

Now that I realised I actually asked people to check this thing out, I see my mistake. I'm even more nervous. LOL

*hugs* Thank you!

[susan5124.livejournal.com]

I admire your bravery so much! I've thought about trying this myself a few times because I figured starting out with drabbles would be easier than going straight to a full fic. I've never been brave enough though and now after reading these comments, I'm not so sure a drabble would be any easier. lol If I ever do it, I've decided I will tell no one and hope that somehow I just blend in with the other entries and nobody recognizes me and wonders why I entered when I obviously have no writing talent whatsoever. lol

[capitu]

I've decided I will tell no one and hope that somehow I just blend in

That's what I should have done! Even though there's the list, I should have stayed quiet and maybe people would go, 'is that really capitu? Maybe it's a typo and it's a capito' or something. I'm embracing my inner masochist, though. I will be fun. ^^

[gracerene]

Exciting! LOL, I was ~thinking~ about signing up, but then decided it was much too terrifying, so kudos to you! :D

[capitu]

SO TERRIFYING!!!! And by terrifying I mean... I'm sure it'll be fun and everything. LOL

[huldrejenta.livejournal.com]

♥ ♥ ♥

I know you're going to be fine!! I'm full of admiration already just for signing up :D

[capitu]

:D I'm embracing my inner Gryffindor. ;)

[carowren.livejournal.com]

You can do it! One drabble at a time! I'll definitely be reading and voting <3<3

[capitu]

One at a time. Man, that's the only way. :D The voting is fun though. You'll see! <3333333

[sdkshelly.livejournal.com]

Oh this is wonderful! I mean, not that you are hyperventilating--I didn't mean that was wonderful. LOL!! Don't panic! You'll be great! So glad you signed up! :D

[capitu]

I need to remember not panic! It's difficult. ^^

*hugs*

[sassy-cissa.livejournal.com]

you're going to be brilliant. Just remember to write it. Then find all the words to remove to fit the limit - oh and remember it must still make sense. :P

♥

[capitu]

Hahahahahaha. When you put it like that sounds so easy! :D

<333

[alisanne.livejournal.com]

You do fabulously! I have faith in you. ♥

[capitu]

And that means everything to me, you drabble goddess! <333

[candamira.livejournal.com]

If one adds up all the words you wrote in your comments and recs you probably have one of the most impressive word counts in fandom. ;) So it's not as if you've never written before. And there'll be an awesome and encouraging beta helping you along!

I'm sure the right words will come as soon as you get started. You always come up with the most original prompts, I bet you already have more ideas for the first prompt than you can cram into one hundred words! Go you, you'll love it! ♥

[capitu]

Oh dear, if I count all the comments and recs... it's be impressing! :D

Now that's first class cheering right there! *HUGS*

Thank you, Canda. It's been fun so far. Scary, but fun in a different way. We'll see how this madness goes. :)

[celestlyn.livejournal.com]

I always want to sign up, but I never do. I get all sick to my stomach at the thought of competitive writing. But I have no doubt that you will do just fine!!

[capitu]

I know! I mean, I know what you mean. But I don't see this as competitive. Granted, it is a competition, but I don't feel I'm writing against anyone, I feel I'm writing against myself, pretty much (at least so far), if that makes sense? :D

[shiftylinguini.livejournal.com]

I'm so excited to see what you and everyone else writes for this, I'm going to pop!

[capitu]

You better!

And finally LJ is up again. Yesterday every time I tried commenting on your entry lj was down and I have IDEAS!!!!

<33333333

ETA: see! it's doing it again! I got the varnish error again when I try to comment on you! Curse you LJ outage!!!!!

[idikehaine.livejournal.com]

High five for signing up!!! You'll be awesome <3 Yes, you will!

[capitu]

So will you!!! Totally new for us, eh? You always tell stories through your art. <33

Much luck, dear! May we survive! lol
