The final, betaed version isn't due until the end of August (or something like that), so I'll be sending you and Minnie the Word document either today or tomorrow. There are notes and things I want to make to the Word document before sending it along -- and you both will have plenty of time to get it back to me. Yesterday's deadline was just the draft version for "final" sign-ups and artist pair-ups. Yay for artwork!
I can't wait to see how many people really did make the deadline.
Yeah, I knew that once I concentrated, I could do it, but I had hoped to space those 6,500 (minimum) words over the week, not crammed into the weekend. However, moving shot that all to hell.
I am totally impressed with you. :) Also, I like this post format. I think I may shamelessly snitch it and corrupt it for my own ends.
I am trying to convince jessofthebugs to join the Star Trek Big Bang... and may inadvertently be convincing myself.
Oh, hey... in the midst of all this writting, any chance you'd be willing to be a first reader on my HBB fic? It went to a Harry/Hermione place, which is unfamiliar territory for me. I've got a beta for edits and stuff, but I'd love thoughts on the characterizations at some point. Not soon though. I still have to rewrite the heck out of it first.
This post format is one that I began when I realized I had large "projects" I was working on and I needed to keep track of them -- and it allowed people to see that I was working on stuff when they didn't see me writing for a while. You're welcome to "borrow" it :)
Ah! I forgot to add "Faith" -- Part 9 to my Away Mission series -- to this! *note to self to edit when I get home tonight* This will be a 10K project slotted in after my snarry_games fic.
The ST BB only requires 15K words and first drafts aren't due until mid-September. I figure I should be able to come up with an idea and write it by then. Hell, I just did half that in two days :D
I'd be willing to read your HBB fic, but July is really bad for me -- as you can see. In the midst of all this, I'm attending my high school reunion (same time as Azkatraz, which is why I'm not going to that). Once I have my Snarry fic done, things ease up.
I have this almost-a-bunny (well, it's more of a tribble, as it doesn't have any shape to it yet) of Uhura being a fan/student/protege of Hoshi Sato's. Maybe something that's backstory of why she's doing what she does now or somesuch. Maybe. Once I recover from HBB.
Jess, on the other hand, has a cladistics conference that's going to take up most of her July, so convincing her might be more work.
Whenever on the HBB fic is fine. The fic stops before the whole over-arching story is done (there will be sequels, I can tell) and mostly I'm looking for advice on the characters to keep in mind for future fics.
Heh, I've written off July as a lost cause at this point. Hell, I'm supposed to be unpacking. I've not unpacked one box in days and my husband is going to be pissed. *sigh* My brain hurts from the HBB -- as I'm sure yours does, too.
As soon as I'm done with my Snarry fic, I can give you a read-through.

I'm not sure where the words are coming from, but I'm just going with it. :)

And thanks for the mojo!

Do you want me to read it over? I've had stories betaed after the due date and then sent the new copy in with a 'use this one!' on it.
