Final Drafts, Complements, & Posting Schedule

[ladiesbigbangmod]

As of 0830 PDT today, all final drafts sent to the ladiesbigbang email account have been verified & emails have been sent to those creators. We do have a few people with extensions on turning in their final projects yet. As soon as those last few final drafts are turned in and verified, we'll be making and posting up the posting schedule.

Right now, we do still have 9 creators who haven't gotten any kind of complement. We'd really like to see all of these people get a complement of some sort. Below the cut are all 9 projects, with links to their threads on the ladiesbigbangpinchhitting googlegroup. If you are a member of that group and want to take one of these projects, comment there. Otherwise, comment here and we'll get you in touch with that creator.

Pinch hit #4
**Creator:* Jenn_Calaelen**
*Project Category:* Fanfiction
*Fandom(s):* Stargate SG:1
*Character(s)/Pairing(s):* Various Tok'ra including Jalen, Delek and Zarin
*Content Notes:* Some spoilers for the Tok'ra and Tollan epsiodes of SG:1,

Backstory, set well before the series. Discussion of issues relating to
becoming a host for a Tok'ra and violence
*Rating:* Teen (probably to be on the safe side)
*Summary:* The Tok'ra and Tollan seem to be allies of a sort - but very
little is shown of how this alliance actually works, and it seems that the
Tollan have advanced their technology in ways that would be useful to the
Tok'ra if they would share it. When would a Tollan become host to a Tok'ra
and how would her actions impact on this alliance.
*Notes:* It features canonical Tok'ra characters, but for most of them the
host's name isn't given in the show.

In penance for my failure to turn in a final draft, I can take on #5. What is the deadline for pinch hits?

[ariestess]

As of right now, we're still waiting on the final posting schedule to determine when each of the projects will be posted. Until that point, we will need to work with the idea that complements are due as of the first day of posting, which is 10th October. If this is still an issue, please let us know ASAP.

When trascendenza has the finalized schedule, she'll be posting that, and I'm sure she'll have further details on complement pinch hits.

[troisroyaumes]

The 10th will be tough but feasible...would it be possible to get a copy of the project to look at by the end of tomorrow?

[ariestess]

To get a copy of the project, you'd need to contact language_escapes @ languageescapes[at]gmail[dot]com.

[shadytail]

I'd like bind #1 and #4 into books. How much time is allowed for complementary works? I'd need 4 weeks to make one or both books, though a .pdf could be available more quickly.

[trascendenza]

The postings schedule is now up [ http://ladiesbigbang.dreamwidth.org/23423.html ] and I put the two projects you're interested in as late as I possibly could -- if that's enough time for you to bind them, that would be great, but if pdfs are more workable that would also be great.

[shadytail]

Yeah, that should be enough time. As soon as I get the drafts, I'll get started.

[aron_kristina]

I can write something for #7.

If #10 has any fandoms I know I'll take that one too!

[ariestess]

Okay, you've got #7. Do you need zoamh's email address to get in touch for making the complement?

As for #10, it has already been claimed.

[bliumchik]

Argh, life things happened over the weekend and I got stalled on 7000. fail. I won't ask for another extension, I've got actual uni stuff starting to come due now. Oh well, I suppose I still got a lot more done on this project than I would have without challenge!

Does #11 have a late posting date? I think I could get a fanmix done for it.

[laurie_ky]

I don't think that you can do a fan-mix, since I did one as part of my project. Thanks anyway.

Laurie

[bliumchik]

Oh, damn, I didn't see that bit - sorry.

[laurie_ky]

If someone (read: me) were to have some time to play around with digital graphics next week, would you have any ideas about what kind of visuals you'd like? I'm still a novice GIMP user, but I have enough experience with non-digital art that the end result should be pretty decent.

[laurie_ky]

Thank you. I don't know enough about graphics to have any sort of indepth discussion (I've downloaded GIMP but was too confused to use it after I took a look and played around with the Paint program that came with my PC instead) I can send you the story and/or the podfic and/or the fan-mix if that would help you to decide how you wanted to do the art. (If you decide you have the time)

I made one banner (very basic) and I made the podfic and fan-mix covers. I think that other graphic choices could be a pic spam, or icons, or another banner? Whatever else was listed in the rules? This story is based on episode 5.10 Abandon All Hope. I downloaded screencaps from Cybel and I can give you the link if you wanted it.

Let me know if you want to read the story etc, before deciding.

And thank you again,

Laurie

[jjhunter]

I haven't heard back from the mods yet re: whether another banner would be a valid complement, but since time is running out, want to send me what you've got & I can get started just in case? Worse comes to worse, you'll get a banner + a haiku.

[laurie_ky]

Okey-dokey.
I didn't see an email address for you. Mine is holler (at) duo-county.com You can substitute the right symbol to make it work. If you email me, I'll reply and attach all the stuff I've got going.


And thank you. I'm sure it's fine if we go ahead. I picked up a complement on another project that hadn't been picked up and we just went ahead, too. (and got the approval later) I think this is a lot for just two mods to do, and they get behind on stuff.

Laurie

[jjhunter]

I'm intrigued by the idea of doing an art or poetry complement for #3, but won't have time until next week. What's the time frame look like for doing complements at this late date?

[ariestess]

#3 has actually already been claimed unfortunately.

[jjhunter]

What about #11? *points to conversation one thread up* I'm not sure I know Supernatural well enough to go the poetry route there, but an additional more complex banner would be well within my capabilities.

Pinch-hitting complements

[mific]

It seems a pity that some contributors don't have complements. I can pinch-hit art complements the quickest so I could do something like a banner for #1, #2 and #4. I see that they're not scheduled to post until November, so could I have an extension of a week for the Nov 4 one and of a couple of weeks from today for the final two? Art as a complement isn't going to work for #6 though, as that's icons. As it's AI though, maybe a brief sampler playlist? I could probably do that within a week from now.

Re: Pinch-hitting complements

[ariestess]

Actually, projects #1 & #4 are already claimed. I was just going to go fix that when I saw your comment here.

Did you still want to work with #2 & #6? Please let me know ASAP, so I can update our spreadsheet.

Re: Pinch-hitting complements

[mific]

Sorry, I replied wrongly on the email. Yes, I'll do #2 and #6, sure.

Re: Pinch-hitting complements

[trascendenza]

Awesome! Thanks for stepping up.

Also, to clarify, anything that's NOT icons would be an acceptable complement for project #6, so if you wanted to do art that would be fine. And the due dates for the complements themselves are basically anytime before the creator's posting date.
