ADMIN :: First Check-In Post!

[ladiesbigbangmod]

This is it! The first of 3 check-ins for all participants!

You have until 23:59 PDT on 7 June 2010 to respond to this first check-in.

The purpose of this post is twofold.

• Creators/betas/cheerleaders check in on their progress.
  • Creators should be progressing to the point of being approximately 1/3 finished with their projects. This is merely a guideline and is NOT required.
    
  • Cheerleaders/betas check in as to whether they've been in contact with their creators.
  
  
• This is your first "official" chance to drop out if you need to.
  This goes for creators, cheerleaders, and betas. If you need to drop out, that's completely acceptable. We don't require a reason, we just want to know that you're no longer going to be participating in whichever "discipline" you signed up for [creator/beta/cheerleader]. The sooner we know, the sooner we can re-assign support teams if needed.

Remember, creators MUST respond to all three check-in posts AND turn in a completed project on time to be eligible for a complement.

If we don't hear from you, we will assume that you are no longer interested in continuing.


If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to leave us a comment, PM, or email [ladiesbigbang@gmail.com].


ETA :: Please make sure to include the name you signed up with and whether you're checking in as a creator, beta, cheerleader [or give the combination if you've signed up for more than one of these]. Thanks!

Checking in as a creator - I think I'm 1/3 of the way through, but it's hard to tell because the count is padded by all the quotes I've been grabbing out. Why oh why can't I buy Tamora Pierce ebooks in New Zealand?

Of course, 1/3 of the word count doesn't equal 1/3 of the way through!

[bloodnfire]

Checking in a creator! I have an outline and a bunch of handwritten scenes. I'm not sure on the wordcount yet.

[suzume]

Creator here! I've finished 4 out of my 15 pieces of fanart...which could be better, but since I just finished up a few other projects, my schedule is opening up now and I foresee no future difficulties.

[seatbeltdrivein.livejournal.com]

I'm checking in as a creator! :D

I have... words. I'm not QUITE to the official 1/3 mark, but I'm close enough.

[seatbeltdrivein.livejournal.com]

Oh, and my beta has been in contact with!

[zvi]

creator w/ emeraldwoman. We're still in it to win it!

[heartequals]

I'm. . .progressing! I'm about to email my cheerleaders/betas. I know a couple of them have been making real good on their creations!

[heartequals]

Oh that, was me checking in as a creator. I'll check in as a beta/cheerleader in a few!

[sophinisba]

I need to drop out as a creator. I'm still interested in podficcing but need to start out small and without deadlines. Thank you for taking the time and effort to find me a beta! She e-mailed and was lovely and I'll write back to let her know that she's now free. :)

I'm still in as a beta and cheerleader though! Have been in touch with both my creators on LJ/Dreamwidth but I should probably e-mail the person I'm just getting to know to find out more about their project.

[woldy]

Yep, I'm still here & have several thousand words. I've also heard from my beta and cheerleader :-)

strina, creator

[strina]

I have...started? Am definitely not at the 1/3 mark, though.

[snow]

Checking in as creator: fanfic writer, name snow. I've written 3505 words, which I'm happy with considering I had finals until mid-month, scrapped my initial project in favour of something more exciting (and less bloody), and my fic is paralleling current events and is up to yesterday.

Also, I've talked with my beta.

Also checking in as cheerleader. I've been in some contact with watersword, and mllesays. I sent an e-mail to harborshore, but didn't receive a reply.

[shanaqui]

Signed up with this account, as a creator. I haven't written anything yet, but I have a plan and I know when I'm going to be working on the fic.

[draconic_voices]

I'm signed up under this account name and checking in as a beta.

I've been in contact with both of the creators to whom I'm assigned.

[jackbeskimble]

I'm checking in as a creator - and I'm even right at the recommended 5k mark for my fic. (5002 words, LOL. Just over!)

My beta and cheerleader have been in contact with me, and are awesome sauce. :)

*is still cracking up over heartequals check-in email*

[lady_amorika]

Hi! I checked in with silver_spotted as 6degreesforbandfemslash and that is our project as creator.

As beta and cheerleader, I've checked in with both! :)

Pst. Thanks for all your work with this!

[lexicalcrow]

Checking in as a beta. I've sent out emails to my assignments, but haven't heard back from one. The other two have replied.

[ranrata]

Checking in as a creator--7,500 words!

I've been in contact with my beta and all five of the creators I've been assigned to beta for.

Check-In #1

[samuraiter]

I am one of the creators, though, since I am a fandom of one, I suppose I am also checking in as a beta, cheerleader, etc. :-) Still in the (elaborate) prewriting phase, but the story is taking shape beautifully, IMO.

[scintilla10]

I'm a creator checking in, though with very little done, eep!

I'm also a cheerleader for three people and I've been in contact with all of them. :)

[kay_brooke]

Checking in (creator here).

Well, I have a plot, anyway.

[ariestess]

Checking in as creator, still involved.

As beta and cheerleader, I still need to contact my peeps...

scrollgirl, creator, checking in!

[scrollgirl]

Checking in as a creator. I haven't gotten very far in my story, but I've got a good outline and I'm determined to meet the deadline :)

[shopfront]

As creator: I'm on target with where I wanted to be, aka. I'm reasonably planned out, becoming more familiar with vidding tech, and won't be starting my LBB properly until mid-June due to other commitments.

As beta: I haven't heard back from my assigned creator.

As cheerleader: I've heard from all my assigned creators, and am in regular contact with those that need that atm.

[bliumchik]

supportchik here! Creator has been in contact with me for preliminaries and will I'm sure be sending draft bits soonish!

[hermitsoul]

*waves* Signed up with this account, have most of my screencaps downloaded and almost ready to start making the icons.

[yvi]

I signed up as cheerleader and cretor and I am afraid to say I have neither been in contact with my creator nor done anything yet :/

Oh Gosh, I fail so hard.

Just checking...

[ladiesbigbangmod]

But you're still going to participate, yes?
