ADMIN :: Second Check-In Post!

[ladiesbigbangmod]

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

You have until 23:59 PDT on 8 July 2010 to respond to this first check-in.
We are extending this by one day since we're posting up this check-in a day late.


The purpose of this post is twofold.

• Creators check in on their progress.
  • Creators should be progressing to the point of being approximately 2/3 finished with their projects. This is merely a guideline and is NOT required.
    
  • Betas/cheerleaders are not required to check in, but can do so if they want [just change the subject line info below to reflect cheerleader/beta status].
  
  
• This is your second "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.

When checking in, please use the following formula...
Subject line: CREATOR: [name you signed up with]
Body of comment: [Whatever info you feel we should know. This can include how far along you are (just starting, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, finished, etc.) or any other relevant info, but NOT a excerpt of your work.]

Sample check-in
Subject line: CREATOR: ariestess
Body of comment: 1/10th completed thus far, but rolling on like whoa!


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. This also means you will NOT be eligible for a complement.


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

[sabinetzin]

1/4 of the way there!

[goodbyebird]

The legendland BB had me occupied for a while, but I've been gathering pics and making plans. Shouldn't be an issue to get done on time :)

Creator: Abyssinia

[abyssinia]

Still here. Still writing. Hope to get draft finished soon, as editing process will take a while.

CREATOR: Phi

[phi]

'Bout half done, yay!

CREATOR: CarnivorousGiraffe

[carnivorousgiraffe]

Stuck presently, but still going!

CREATOR: damkianna

[damkianna]

Checking in with well over the minimum wordcount, and inching toward half of the story done. \o?

CREATOR: Eldabe

[eldabe]

Mostly outlined, typing away!

CREATOR: gloss

[gloss]

Still here. Flailing, but still here.

[alyse]

Still here and still working on it, where working on it means I have a plot ::g::

Creator: Hnsnrachel

Oops, I almost completely forgot about commenting here :/

I'm about halfway done with this story right now. Wrestling with a little writer's block, but I seem to be winning for the moment :)

creator: ayla

[ayla]

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to drop out. :( There is still a chance I may be able to submit something by the final deadline but my story idea was ridiculously harder than I anticipated.

CREATOR/BETA/CHEERLEADER: shopfront

[shopfront]

Total fail, I could have sworn I posted my check-in comment, but I just came to check and copy what I wrote about how far I was along into a beta email, and I'm thinking I might have lost a half-written check-in comment tab in a browser crash, ack! Sorry!

My project is well planned, all additional necessary betas are finally sourced I think, and at least half of the various bits of my project are well underway. The remaining bits are the sorts of things I frequently work out last minute for challenge deadlines, so I'm reaasonably comfortable with the draft deadline atm.

I still haven't heard from the creator I'm assigned to beta, but I'm going to send them another poke over the weekend and see if I can't get a response. Cheerleading has been going well, though I'm due to check-in with my creators as well.

Creator: Impertinence

[impertinence]

Hey, so, this is the latest of all possible late check-ins - I could've sworn I commented, but apparently not. I'm in contact with the person I'm betaing for and am on track with writing (I have 20,000 words).
