ladiesbigbang | ADMIN :: Second Check-In Post!

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].

1/10th completed thus far, but rolling on like whoa!

We're still here and working on the fic.

Persnickety muses.

I have 3K, all of which was written yesterday, and which started to go a lot more smoothly once I backed off and let my protagonist be as proud and as angry as she wanted to be. You would think I would know better by now, but it just goes to show.

Dropping a note: there's been a death in my family, and my time is no longer my own - I'm going to have to drop out. Good luck to everyone who's continuing.

Edited (you would also think I would not have such a homonym problem, but that ALSO goes to show. ) 2010-07-13 22:32 (UTC)

I have a lot of words! Uh, can't tell you what proportion of the final draft they are, but I made minimum word count, oh, about sixty pages ago.

I have a pretty much complete second draft that is just over 15k. A little bit of tweaking still to do.

I, regretfully, am going to have to drop out. Moving took far more time and energy than I anticipated.

Like 1/84 done, but determined!

For the 6degreesforbandfemslash project, we are making good progress

I have...um...4,000 words or so. Not really any plot but that can't be *that* important, right?

Just over 8000 words, about half done, I think. And now finished with the other fic I took a week off from this to write, so back I go :)

I have started! And that's it for now.

Song-finding was a bit rocky at first, but I have been making progress and am somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 done. Graphic making has been started as well!

Around 1/5 written. Need more hours in the day. But this project will be getting more of my attention now, so I'm hopeful....

I'm still here! 9,505 words and going fine.

Geeep! Thanks for the reminder! I need to get crackin'. I'm about halfway done my meta!

Doing fine on the writing (just about done meta #1, which is clocking in at over 2500 words, and have a nice outline for meta #2 goin' on).

I've emailed all my cheerleadees, and gotten a response from one of them; will check in again!

Uh, still at only around 500 words, but will get onto it as soon as I can. Just have been running a really bad dry spell of writing over the last two weeks or so.

8,200 words in, still feeling stuck. Will have to bust out Write or Die.

I thought I would be finished at 15k - I had reached "the end", anyway - but a great many ideas have occurred to me since reaching that goal, and they demand immediate inclusion. I anticipate at a final word count of 20-25k.

Also, I have changed my OpenID from "https://me.yahoo.com/grayblueumbrellas" to a .blogspot.com address.

From Laurie (laurie_ky on LJ)

I'm podficcing four stories featuring women from the Sentinel fandom. Two are completely done, one is recorded and being edited, and the fourth one I haven't started yet, the author wanted to do some sprucing up of the fic first. That one will be the longest to do.

The stories:

Oil and Water (http://www.janedavitt.com/Oil.html). AU featuring Naomi Sandburg and Alex Barnes, written by Jane Davitt. Completed. Gen, but could be read as pre-femslash. Available in a music and non-music format. 5.03 minutes. (Yeah, it's short but the story is intense)

Forever and Always. (http://852prospect.org/archive/archive/11/foreverand.html) Featuring Naomi Sandburg, a part of the Pine Crest series written by Rent Girl 2. Completed. Gen for Naomi, mention of a relationship between Jim Ellison and Blair Sandburg. Available in a music and non-music format33.3 minutes.

Something Told the Wild Geese (http://www.852prospect.org/archive/archive/24/somethingtold.html). This is only the first part of the story, featuring Naomi Sandburg. The recording ends at a natural break in the story. Written by Blue Wolf. Recorded and in the editing stage (The forever and ever stage, editing is so slow, so very, very slow to complete)Het. . Will be approximately an hour long podfic.

Not even started on: Maternal Instinct by Autumn Skies. The story is about 14000 words long and mostly features Grace Ellison, Naomi Sandburg is also in the story, but mostly it's about Grace. Probably the podfic will be around 2 and a half hours long.

There were several others I was interested in doing but I either couldn't get permission to podfic or the stories were about 50 words too short to use for a podfic.

Laurie

Sorry, I don't see a way to edit my post.

I did links to the story, but for some reason they didn't work. Funny that in the preview they looked correct.

Sorry about that.

Laurie

I'm... um, still here!

Still in. I have icons done - nowhere near enough, but I'm getting there! :D

Edited 2010-07-02 21:28 (UTC)

7/15 out of my pieces of fanart are finished, but I don't foresee any difficulties in getting the rest of them completed in a timely manner. Still havin' fun.

Sitting at about 7.6K right now. I know I can do this, I just keep getting distracted by runaway_tales (but it's so much fun!) or going "aw hell this whole story sucks". But I'm getting there. I think the it sucks phase happens to everyone.

Also got one of those shiny account things.
