Would you consider joining these clubs?
And have you thanked :iconhalatia: for her time as Lit Community Volunteer?The Word Wars Chat Tour has moved to its new home at #WordWars!
What is the Word War Chat Tour?
It's two things really. First, it's a writing game that you play in a chatroom with other writers. Second, it's a tour and we visit other chatrooms. Essentially we are touring the literature community bringing our fun game with us.
Word Wars – The Game
It's a friendly competition to see who can write out the most in a set period of time. In a chatroom setting the game is fast paced fun with the timer set to a few minutes and participants compete in several rounds. Speed writing is key!
Read the Word Wars blog with game instructions, tips and a F.A.Q.!
The Tour
Each month we find a different literature group to host our game in their chatroom. Then the Chat Tour and the group's staff collaborate to plan the fun event. The best part (besides the fun and prizes) is that the entire literature community is invited to participate!
What's in it for you?
WritingWe're writers, and what better perk is there than a nudge to work on one of your own projects? If you're behind on a project, or been meaning to start one, it's a good excuse to sit down and write.
Prizes!The Chat Tour gives away a 3 month premium membership at each stop! And you don't have to be the best to win.
Participate in a round and you'll be entered for the prize. The host group may include their own prizes in addition. Definitely worth checking out. Discovering literature groups.There are tons of literature groups on dA. Maybe you haven't heard of the latest group stop, or maybe you have but weren't sure about joining. Participating is a great opportunity to meet some of the staff personally and discover more about the group.
Making new lit friends.You'll meet bunches of fun and friendly community members! Every time I've hosted a Word War we've had a blast, and quite a few participants added each other as friends.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to join these groups to participate in the Chat Tour?Nope! Though we do suggest you check out the group (because they're all really awesome) you aren't obligated to join. The events are open to everyone on dA.
Why don't you make your own chatroom?We're a tour so we travel through the literature community's chatrooms. Whoever heard of a tour sitting in one place all the time?
Can I suggest a/my group for a visit from the Chat Tour?Yes, please do! Send a note to `thorns with the group's information.
How do I know when and where the next event will be?You can check the Chat Tour Schedule for updates.
Zest 
Can I just kinda follow around and shadow around and just watch? XD
You also don't have to compete to win. You can use the time to work on your project at your own pace if you'd like. (If you want to beat everyone else though speed typing is necessary.
We're very open in terms of what and how you write. You don't have to show anyone your writing, post your total word count, or rush. Word count totals have ranged from 200-1200 in a single round before. I'm about 500 words per 15 minutes person.
BUT if you want to be eligible for a prize you will have to tell us your word count for at least one round. It's based on participation and not how fast you type, so once we know you've played, we'll add your name to the drawing.
If you want to practice you can always use Write or Die or just set an alarm for 15 minutes and try it by yourself.
Ohhh, so we just post our word count at the end of the round?
Yep! Just the word count, don't even need to see what you wrote.
I would also suggest my group... but I'm unsure... since we're not purely literature and hosting something as big as this would make me feel awkward XD
I don't think I'd automatically discount an art group that does more than lit, but the lit portion would have to be active. I'd also probably give priority to more active lit groups. If you're worried about it now, you can also try in the future (and see how your lit members are doing).
I do have a couple notes for lit groups already, and possibly another coming in soon. It's probably booked through December but I'm only confirming a month behind.
Haha, completely understandable XD
(since we only have around 90 members anyway <<" )
The lit portion is pretty active, but I would say they're about the same.
Oh gosh, good luck with that O.O""""
Hope to see some great groups!
does it have to be writing that's literature? Or could it be something else?
