As you've guessed from the title of this thread, a UK and Ireland regional word war has been organised. So basically, I've nominated for our region to go into competition with lots of other UK and Irish regions.
The regional word war is a competition designed to get as many people to 50k as possible, it gives them another reason to keep writing and not drop out, as they'd be letting the team down rather than just themselves. It's all based on an average word count system so the size of the region has minimal effect on the outcome, it depends more on the dedication of the team's members. Every year the competition gets bigger and every year we get a lot of positive feedback from people who really enjoy the element of competition and manage to win due to the extra incentive, so please do consider taking part.
It sounds like a lot of fun. If you want to take part then you can sign up on this thread. The only thing is, because of the scale of the competition, we need at least 5 members signed up to be eligible for this. It doesn't hurt to sign up but only do so if you intend on completing nano (or doing your absolute hardest). I don't think we competed in this last year so it would be good for us to do well!!
There is another thread whoch contains the rules for this comp so check it out. Also, there is a word war banter thread for us and other regions' participants to ... well ... banter!
So sign up here if you are interested! :)
(please only post ONCE - and you need to do so before 8pm on nov 10th!!)
