Report in with your word counts!

This entry is for  reporting daily word counts! Every day after you finish writing/creating, please comment with your nickname, the day and the number of words you wrote. See the example below:

Comment to this post and use the following format: 

Subject: Day [date], [your username], [that day's word count]
Example: Day 1, Cutiesonthehorizon, 134 words

If you forget to report in during that day, no worries, post a comment the next day, just report with the date of the previous day in the subject line

Please try and use the format mentioned above for the subject line so it'll be easier for us to keep an eye on the word counts. As to the comment itself, feel free to gripe about how hard the words were, or squee about how easily you wrote half a chapter! You can put in your favorite sentence, or add a link to the fic, whatever you feel like:) 

To help you all out a bit, April was decided to be the month of AUs/Crossovers! You're of course welcome to create any kind of content, but if you want to get some inspiration, there are few AU/Fic generators:

Day 9 (I think). 1900 words.

Things are heating up. I'm crap at picking excerpts but try this one on for size:

Tomas winces at the memory of the festering bite on his hand--Casey Rance, it seems like a century ago. Reluctantly he allows Mouse to clean and dress the slash on his head. She doesn't have a scratch on her, and it's a little odd after his time with Marcus, who always seemed to be a mass of cuts and bruises. He never really thought about how physical Marcus is, until he came to work with Mouse, who fights like a mongoose, landing blows with cool precision and always dancing out of reach before the enemy can touch her.

Cool--that's the word. Marcus is a smoldering mass of coals, always ready to flare up, but Mouse is more like a north wind. Tomas wonders about her relationship with Marcus, but the cold blast he'd met with the only time he broached the subject discourages him from asking.

He falls back on habit. "I thought I could save him," he says in the confessional tones he's always used with Marcus. "I should have listened to you." This is where Marcus either goes into a lecture or wraps a comforting hand around the back of his neck. All right, once or twice smacked him in the back of the head, but that's not the point.

Mouse tapes off the bandage and says crisply, "Perhaps you'll think better of it next time," and begins neatly packing away the gear. Tomas approaches the truck and she says, without looking up, "I'll drive."

I love that icon. Impressive word count!

(Speaking of winds makes me think of the Simoom...)

Ah, Simoom. Somehow I have to work a big cat into a fic somewhere. South America... jaguars...

Wow! Niiiiice! I love this... love your portrayal of Mouse and love Tomas' introspection. Poor guy... he will have to get used to new things. But maybe that'll be good for him too. Can't wait to read more!

No comforting caresses from Mouse, huh...

Awww, I'm not trying to dog on Mouse. She's got her reasons. I keep thinking back to the sensitivity training episode of Angel, where the chick is like "I AM NOT A BITCH! I'M JUST PROTECTED!"

Excellent word count and excerpt! Mouse isn't Marcus and I'm liking how you differentiate the two. I can't wait to read more!
