Check in #2!

[bbb_mod]

There's a little more than two months until the draft deadline of July 20th, so let's have check in.

How are you doing? Where are you at? Do you need a cheerleader/beta/sprinting buddy? What can we do to help?

If you're in need of a beta, check the beta post. If you need moral support or a place to whinge or brainstorm or talk things out, the discord is a good place to check out. (Send an email to bandombigbang at gmail).

*cheers everyone on*

WHAT DO YOU MEAN ONLY A LITTLE OVER A MONTH?????

[bbb_mod]

Clearly I need more sleep and/or more coffee. TWO MONTHS. /o\ Let me fix the post.

[bbb_mod]

Well, now that I've panicked you AND me, I think I'm going to do a little bit of writing before collapsing into bed. Sorry!

[semi_sweet]

oh thank god haha i thought i'd missed something

[snitchesandtalkers]

*ppets* There there, sweetie, it's okay!

[semi_sweet]

will you just LET ME LIVE

[acadjonne]

I finally managed to choose between my ideas and my writing is starting to pick up the pace. I’m also excited to see what everyone else comes up with, there have been some pretty interesting ideas going around.

[trojie]

!! You can do this!

I'm excited to see everyone else's stuff too :D

[momiji_neyuki]

I'm hoping to get to 5000 words this week. We need 80% for the Draft Deadline right? So if my math doesn't suck, is that 15,000 words? @~@

[akamine_chan]

Close. 80% of the minimum 20k words is actually 16k. :D

[s0ckpuppeteer]

sob, i feel you, dude.

Re: iwrtbksnttrgds

[snitchesandtalkers]

You can do it!

[shark_myths]

I decided to write in epistolary format, and I'm terrified of the required word count for the first time in my life

[lady_smutterella]

Same boat, same fear. Why did we decide this?

[shark_myths]

We are bold and beautiful fools, doomed from the start

[s0ckpuppeteer]

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING /runs

[momiji_neyuki]

You got this! You have a great idea and what you have so far is really good!

Don't start doubting yourself now! ^-^

[doctorkilljoy]

I think I have about six primary scenes left to write as I passed 20k last week. I kinda feel like my brain is gonna explode though so I might take a weekend off from plotting/writing pretty quick.

[snitchesandtalkers]

You're doing amazing things with this, I'm so stoked to see the finished product.

*sigh*

[viciousvenin]

i'm over halfway done (i think) but i haven't worked on my bbb fic in weeks. finals kind of threw me off my game and lately i've been writing a bunch of other fics. hopefully gonna get back to my bbb fic very soon!

Re: *sigh*

[trojie]

Finals are enough to throw ANYONE off their game, but you got this!

[lady_smutterella]

2.5k done, so about a tenth of the way there? Confident I can do it now that I've finally decided which idea I'm writing - though a little concerned that it'll be a push to get this one to the minimum length without adding text that would be better left out. We shall see.

[momiji_neyuki]

I worry about it getting too wordy too, but also cutting back and losing the words I need to make the minimum. @~@

[shark_myths]

Let's panic and overwrite together and then help each other trim the nonsense out?

[trojie]

I believe in you! <3

[conventionalweapons]

i'm at 41k, with roughly 10-15k still to come, and then it's revision time! i'm feeling confident :D

[trojie]

Wow omfg, that's so great! You're killing it!!

[fades_in_time]

I've had to restart my fics as they somehow managed to get deleted from my computer and I hadn't tranferred them over to my phone yet. I guess this time around I'm just going to write them on my phone.

[trojie]

Oh no! That's such bad luck! Have you tried out googledocs or some other cloud hosted thing? I use that because then I can switch between phone and computer depending on which is most convenient at the time <3

[akamine_chan]

I have ~4500 words so far. Go me.

[trojie]

<333 YOU'RE DOING SO GOOD

[snitchesandtalkers]

Every day I question the choices I've made that have led me to the plot that I've got. And yet... I'm 12k in at this stage so I should probably commit to it.

[semi_sweet]

post the rest to the doc already we are thorsty

[chibifukurou]

Doing about as well as expected. All the RL things are going on. So less writing is happening.

[(Anonymous)]

I might revamp my project, but idk. I should probably decide soon though, lol.

[justtothesea]

I haven't been working on it but I'd say I'm like 70% done... Or more like 69%... A solid 65% done.

[trojie]

I'm getting there! I cycled through two ideas that I couldn't quite hook into, but have ended up getting an old concept I loved but could never finish out of cold storage and working on that, and i'm excited!

I hope everyone's getting along okay! Can't wait to see what you're all coming up with!

[loveinamaltshop]

3k words and counting! I've barely touched the surface of a lot of the themes I'm going to establish in this fic but the excitement of getting there is keeping me going I think :)
