The Bandom Big Bang Challenge

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

If you feel up to it, share a little bit of what you've done.

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

Leaving love and support for each other in the comments is strongly recommended.

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 or find a sprinting buddy, the discord is a good place to check out. (Send an email to bandombigbang at gmail).

*cheers everyone on*

It's a little shy of a month since sign-ups have opened, and we've got 40+ unique people type persons signed up as either primary and/or complement creators. So that's pretty exciting. *throws confetti*

Sign-ups remain open until the draft due date for primary creators, sign-ups for complement creators don't really close, either, but obviously the sooner after claims open, the better. So if you know anyone who was thinking about signing up, please feel free to encourage them.

If you haven't done so, please visit the friending meme and say hello. Comment to other people, introduce yourself, make new friends, help build a community. You can participate in the friending meme even if you're not signed up for the challenge, so don't feel shy.

Our discord server is a great place to commiserate, to talk about plot/progress/ideas/inspiration, to socialize, to get help. There's a channel for productivity sprinting, and daily random questions to discuss just for fun. If you've ever used a messaging program, like Google Chat, AOL Instant Messenger, MSN Messenger, or Kik, then using the discord will feel familiar. You can text chat with people who are currently logged in, or leave messages/conversations for others to join once they are logged back in. Send an email to the mod account if you'd like to try it out.

And here's the check in part of the post...

If you are a primary creator, have you settled on a plot/theme/character/pairing/medium/etc?
If you are a complement creator, are you excited to see what the primary creators will come up with?
