I have 600 words in note form that have been there for a few weeks, then another few hundred words of notes for the next chapter on another page. Can’t form any of them into a sentenceIf we do a chapter a week that will mean everyone has plenty time to read.
Start tomorrow?
I'd say, if you can get 1,000 words a day down you're probably on to a winner. I have 78 since I got up

I have 2500 words on a JG thing, and 700 on an JS thing so far this weekend... I'm just playing around for nowIf we do a chapter a week that will mean everyone has plenty time to read.

One chapter a week should work, and starting with the prequel should be a good intro, because I've read snippets about it here, but I still have no clue what I'm getting into.Happy to go at whatever pace is comfortable for the group.
One chapter a week works.
Was going to suggest a way of doing two chapters a week but I think we've got to live in hope of an update and those of us who have read to the current position will want to skip ahead to read that out of order I think! Without disrupting the re-read cycle.
Maybe put book club chat under spoilers so the thread doesn't get completely taken over by it and we can still have our other conversations and those who don't like fics don't feel excluded.
And we can start with the prequel which is a standalone fic in its own right so should be a nice intro for those who are reading for the first time.
I was going to ask if it was finished. Obviously @cobette bullied me in to reading it and I couldn’t figure out if it just ended or it was unfinishedHappy to go at whatever pace is comfortable for the group.

Fairly sure it's unfinished, the author mentioned in the comments a plan to cover the whole season so I think we have a few more chapters to come.I was going to ask if it was finished. Obviously @cobette bullied me in to reading it and I couldn’t figure out if it just ended or it was unfinished
I’ve been through almost a full cycle since the last chapter and…still got nothingI'm convinced ability to write is related to cycles.
Ovulating, so should technically be feeling 'inspired', but I got nothing.
Coincidently about the time you started fixating on theI’ve been through almost a full cycle since the last chapter and…still got nothing
He’s possibly very briefly in the next chapter anywayCoincidently about the time you started fixating on the.
Just face it Rubes, he's ruined you too.
You want him.
Shoe horn him in your chapter and see where it takes you.
Good, I only like him when he appears in Jack fics as his mate, not when he goes around shagging the girls mates, because that makes me rage.He’s possibly very briefly in the next chapter anywayNot in a way that would excite you though, sorry. Just in a “Jack needs a friend” way. I’ve bollocksed it up though because the one other footballer already featured is fictional, but I haven’t got the energy to start making everyone else fictional, so there may be some real and some fictional.
I don’t think things through, story of my life.
Perhaps when the new season gets up and going, that'll make your creative bits tingle againI’ve been through almost a full cycle since the last chapter and…still got nothing
And I think we should definitely use spoiler tags if we're talking about stuff we know comes later in the fic, out of respect for first time readers. Can put spoilers within spoilers if need be for example:Pictures of bae
Serious life discussion
Extensive literary analysis slash endless squeeing
What's your favourite pasta sauce?
You're right about that, Holiday Abe isn't necessarily for everyone.Perhaps when the new season gets up and going, that'll make your creative bits tingle again
I'm buzzing at this! Can we have a list of everyone who is participating so we can tag them so no-one misses our recaps when we inevitably post at different times!?Okay, here we go, in preparation for tomorrow....

Would be nice to put the bigger conversations in spoiler tags to facilitate the other ongoing conversations, example post:

General chat about how we feel about the chapter
Aaah when John says X five chapters later is he referring to the conversation about Y here?
I'm excited! 🪂
I like Holiday Abe but can see how he might cause issues for someone writing Jack as non-Holiday Abe.You're right about that, Holiday Abe isn't necessarily for everyone.
I don't fancy Holiday Abe at all.I like Holiday Abe but can see how he might cause issues for someone writing Jack as non-Holiday Abe.
I WOULD LOVE THAT TO HAPPEN!Hang on, how many people actually write on here and why am I missing all of this??
do you think the end of WUIV will have a big reveal like Wagatha Christie…
It’s….

If he appears I won’t let him shag anyone out of loyalty to all of you hereGood, I only like him when he appears in Jack fics as his mate, not when he goes around shagging the girls mates, because that makes me rage.
I love the fictional footballer! I like that you've created this little world. So sexy and elite.
I see why would wouldn't want to go wild with the fictional footballers though, hard to keep track of and people might be like 'where's X?!'
Count me in!Okay, here we go, in preparation for tomorrow....
