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!

Vane, checking in as a creator.

So far I've written 3,000 words. Unfortunately, it means I'm still below the 1/3 mark. :-(

(I had to delete my original comment because it had been posted before you edited your entry. I can't edit my comments because I don't have a paid account.)

[ladiesbigbangmod]

Is it possible for you to contact heartequals as she's been having some issues contacting you? Thanks!

[ok_so_lets_go]

Sign up name: shallow_moi

Checking in as creator (although I have yet to actually create anything other than ideas in my head, but for me that's a start....)

My cheerleader has been in touch, and I've responded.

[fly_to_dawn]

Checking in as both a creator and a cheerleader! Creatively: Er, I've made a few icons. Cheerleader-wise, yep, I've heard from all of my creators.

[nemonclature]

Checking in as a creator... will start writing any day now >_

[bewize]

Checking in as a creator and I'm working on it. Not as far as I'd like, but getting there!

[rosestoo]

I already checked in through email but... still good here.

[fangirlism]

Signed up under my name, Erika. Checking in as a creator to... drop out. :( I'm just not feeling it anymore.

[wilhelminabenedict]

This is shiegra, checking in as a creator -- I've been in contact with both beta and cheerleader, though what I have -- I've started! Just not gotten very far! **smacks self** -- hasn't needed betaing yet.

[red_eft]

Red Eft, checking in
-beta/cheerleader: I've heard back from all of my creators at least once, so I think we're good there.
-creator: *flails* v. little progress, but am not giving up! I've almost finalized my choices, and will get started on the sketches for the ones I've decided on soon.

[harborshore]

I'm checking in as a creator! I haven't gotten very far at all (and I'm replying to my poor cheerleader later) but I always knew I wouldn't have completed a third of the story by the first check-in (this because, you know, MA theses are somewhat time-consuming). But I'm on track with where I thought I'd be. *nods*

[abyssinia]

Checking in as creator, signed up with this username (abyssinia). The joys of using this to finish a WiP is I already have 22,000 words. Every greater joy is I have added words and the end (and thus, editing process) is in sight.

[xenakis]

Er. frigg and I have brainstormed and WE HAVE A PLAN.

That's got to count for something, right?

*g*


(we're creators)

[beth_soprano]

Checking in as a creator and I will be starting, um, soon. *ducks*

[bibliotropic]

Dropping out as a creator... sadly. I am looking forward to reading everyone's wonderful creations, though.

[sabinetzin]

Checking in as a creator, on behalf of me and shadowen!

[katarik]

Replying as co-creator of a DC Comics AU with merfilly to confirm that I am still playing.

[lunarwolfik]

Sign-up name: lunarwolfik

Creator: I've got something approaching an idea, but no actual wordage yet. I do plan on writing it though! I will finish, for sure! :D

Cheerleader: I've been in contact with one of them but not the other two, I will e-mail the other two as soon as possible.

[aithine]

Aithine checking in as a beta. I've heard back from all five folks I'm betaing for. :)

[eldabe]

(I know I'm late! But I emailed you guys. Waiting on a response, but I wanted to say this, either way.)

Creator, currently outlining the plot before I fully launch into the writing. In touch with my beta, but waiting to hear back from my cheerleader.

[ladiesbigbangmod]

Just verifying here that you're still good to go, based on the email conversation we had.

[digitalghost]

Would it be possible to re-sign up? I know I dropped out several days ago, but RL has improved greatly and I feel that despite this medication and its effects, I can still do my big bang. So, I humbly beg you to accept my request to un-drop myself. Thank you.

This is for creator and beta, as well.

[ladiesbigbangmod]

Sorry for the tardiness in getting back to you. RL got in the way.

Yes, you can be reinstated as both creator and beta. Please contact your support team as well as any creators you were assigned to as a beta.

Also know that if you don't check in on the next two check-ins on time, you will NOT be eligible for a complement.

[shadowcat]

Have been sick, so just saw this. *headdesk* I'm a co-creator with enochiansigils and we're still writing.

[ladiesbigbangmod]

Sorry for the tardiness in getting back to you. RL got in the way.

Thank you for checking in and letting us know.

Also know that if you don't check in on the next two check-ins on time, you will NOT be eligible for a complement.

[iceinyourmusic]

Oh, eep, I totally forgot to check in (as beta-reader), but I have been in touch with my assigned creator and think we're good to go.

[ladiesbigbangmod]

Sorry for the tardiness in getting back to you. RL got in the way.

Thank you for checking in and letting us know.

[starlady]

(creator)

I totally missed this due to WisCon. I have been in touch with my assigned beta reader, and am still planning on continuing.

[sothcweden]

Aw, hell. I completely missed this. And I'm fine with not being eligible for a complement. I just want to participate. And I'm still on track to have my podfic project done for Sept 1.

I'm also a beta, and I've emailed back and forth with all three of the creators I was assigned to.

Thanks for organizing this!

[ayla]

Eeeek. I'm so sorry for being epically late with my check-in! I'm in the middle of writing my submission and I'm still planning on submitting. If this means I don't end up with a complement, then I'm okay with it. I don't think I'd get one given the rarity of my fandom anyway!

I don't really have an excuse other than the fact my main journal is LJ and I fail at checking DW regularly. *hides*

[ayla]

Oh btw, I'm a creator.
