Still in? YES YES YES.
How is your progress going? It's okay. I have two separate stories started and I think I'm going crazy but that's cool.
Everything okay with your beta (you should have made contact by now)? Yup, she's fantastic.
Anything we should know? THE FIFA WORLD CUP STARTED.

How is your progress going? Not too bad, have the plan written out and some of the sections have drafts written up.
Everything okay with your beta (you should have made contact by now)? Yes, now I just need more words for said beta to read.
Anything we should know? If all goes well maybe I'll surpass the word limit! Also, I lost a USB which had some of my work, but I have most of my files backed up from earlier so it's alright.

Everything okay with your beta (you should have made contact by now)? nothing is ever going to be okay yep, she's roaring to go and lovely as ever <3
Anything we should know? okay, real talk: my life is kind of messed up at the moment, so i am very very unsure if i'm going to be able to stay in. but i want to! i love this big bang and i really want to participate, i'm just not very sure if real life is going to allow me to do so. but, as usual, we're gonna stay optimistic as hell and fight our way through this! this time i'm gonna stay in! heck yeah!
