And it all comes down to this
So, tomorrow is the due date. June 16th. And how did it get here so quickly. Drafts are due then, but as long as it's still the 16th in Alofi, you're good.
THIS IS STILL NOT THE TIME TO START PANICKING.
Seriously.
Take a deep breath. And another. Look at your draft. It needs to meet the minimum word count (for Wave One, we're talking 20k), but if there are scenes that you haven't written yet, that's fine. You just need to sketch out the scenes that are missing, like so:
So that's probably the first thing you should do. Make sure that all the plot elements are there, and that the story has a clear ending. Remember that your mixer and/or artist will be creating from your draft, so there has to be structure that makes sense.
Then you can start writing like your very life depends on it. You have OVER A MONTH!
Save your panicking for July 20th, when you frantically get in the last few thousand words and write your summary.
But you can do it.
The important thing to remember is that you can still drop out if you're freaking out or need to. We don't hold grudges. We will still love you! And what you can't finish for Wave 1 can be done for Wave 3 instead!
But you CAN do it!
Trust us.
No, really.

Frank's POV. Here be the scene where Gerard and Frank bone like mad boning things. Don't forget about the bit with the flavored lubricant and rimming! Definitely don't forget about the rimming! Remember that this is where Frank admits that he has FEELS for Gerard, but because he's a dork, he just can't come out and say it.
