What's pairings/characters are you writing about?: I actually switched up from what I was originally writing so now I'm writing college!au with basically all the swimmers. The main pairings I guess are Allison Schmitt/Michael Phelps, Ryan Lochte/Conor Dwyer and Ryan Lochte/Michael Phelps but pretty much everyone gets a mention (like little brief mentions of Matt/Annie and Ricky/Rebecca and there's a party pretty much everyone will be at so).
How far along are you in your fic percentage-wise?: I've got 1600+ words so far, idk how much it's gonna end up being though. I'm still way less than halfway through my rambly plot schematic I wrote up though.
What are you most excited about your fic?: Literally everything- I can't pick just one thing.
Anything else? (Do you need support/need help or advice/lacking ideas/etc?): Not that I can think of?

You will get there! You got this, bb!

And angsty is good! Especially since the current status of Phlochte leads me to want to write a bazillion angsty pieces as well XD.

I kinda got sidetracked into writing another fic where Michael and Ryan are lawyers so once that is finished I will crack on with this one!

It's set a few years in the future, in the lead up to Rio, and my inner Michael is very, very bitter about everything that has happened since London...

What's pairings/characters are you writing about?: MPeezy/KingReezy
How far along are you in your fic percentage-wise?: um, about 1.5K in, so 10% or so?
What are you most excited about your fic?: idk, I'm in the worrying stages right now lol
Anything else? (Do you need support/need help or advice/lacking ideas/etc?): I'm going to need a plot-heavy beta who will not mind reviewing my story for plot errors (like continuity issues I might not have seen) & to listen to me babble on endlessly about meta & tell me if it's dumb.
That's usually the kind of mistakes I make, but with the time limit, I will probably need help with the editing or it will be error-heavy.
Soooo, can you help me find someone??? idk where to look

Aww, you got this, bb! No worrying!

I'll be posting a beta call on Monday, hopefully, along with some links for resources and possible beta sources. Hopefully we'll be able to get a few volunteers off Tumblr and the olympic_slash comm!
