Event: Heavy Artillery Writing Day (Sunday 4 Oct)

Dear Heavy Artillery operators,

Do you want to start the new season off on the right foot? Boost your writing projects and get rid of those nasty, guilt-inducing WIPs that clutter your Gdocs folder, perhaps finally finish the neverending longfic that haunts your dreams? Or what about grabbing a few sneaky LLSS bingo points before the Anniversary challenge is over?

This Sunday we'll be hosting the first ever Heavy Artillery Writing Day on our Discord server: a whole day* dedicated to writing, sharing, editing, prompting, drinking our favorite beverages, winning our cats' love by being the most unmovable object in the house, and hopefully posting something before we drop dead of exhaustion.

We'll have four writing sprints at fixed times and a number of shorter ones and other events in the course of the day. RSVP'ing** to the long writing sprints is appreciated, but not mandatory: feel feel to wander in whenever!

Check out the timeline below to get an idea of how the day is going to unfold. N.B. All times below are in UTC. (Oh god oh god when is that in my tz?)

Edit 2020/10/04: I realized that I messed up the second part of the timeline. Soooorry. I fixed it now. The events in the Discord channel were set at the right time, so the reminders will be sent out correctly.
