Writing projects, October to December

This is for my own purposes, feel free to skip. My master list of projects is getting a bit unwieldy, so I'm just putting this down in order to make sure I have my ducks in a row.

In order of due date:

1- [livejournal.com profile] help_pakistan: I'm totally late on this, although my recipient, [livejournal.com profile] inyron, is being a sweetheart. Currently at 4,500 words and counting, and will probably end up in the 7,000-word range. Was due October 1st. Done and posted!

2- [livejournal.com profile] deancasbigbang: Posting date of October 12th. Have edited Part 4 because my artist needed it, and will be working on Parts 1-3 over the weekend. Done and posted!

3- [livejournal.com profile] spn_las: 1,000 words maximum, due October 13th.

4- [livejournal.com profile] spn_reversebang: Due October 25th, 5,000 words minimum.

5- [livejournal.com profile] team_free_love: Secret Lovers Exchange, also due October 25th, 2,000 words minimum.

6- [livejournal.com profile] spook_me: horror-fic challenge, no wordcounts. Due October 26th. Abandoned for sanity-saving purposes.

7- [livejournal.com profile] girlsofspn: 1,000 words minimum, due November 1st. Done and posted!

8- [livejournal.com profile] sassy_otp: 500 words minimum, due November 15th. Done and posted!

9- [livejournal.com profile] spn_jimmynovak: Novakfest, 500 words minimum, due November 22nd. Posting date of December 18th. In progress.

10- [livejournal.com profile] amplificathon: Podbang. A recording of a fic that's a minimum of 20,000 words, due December 1st. In progress, with an extension due to a cat-related mishap. Done and submitted!


And I owe [livejournal.com profile] peppervl a fic, and while there's no deadline on it, I'm tentatively hoping to have it done sometime in December (revised from November).

That's...wow.

Should I send you coffee? A LOT of coffee?

(Good luck with all that, dude!)

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-10-07 01:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I think a pot of coffee would be good. ;)

At least it's fun, right?

Wouldn't it be nice to get paid for this second job we have? *snerk*

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-10-07 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
If I were paid by the word I'd be totally set. ;)

Hey you addict! *hugs*

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-10-07 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, hey, I remember you from the Challenge Addicts Anonymous meeting!

I totally fell off the bandwagon. ;)

[identity profile] primrose-1.livejournal.com 2010-10-07 02:55 pm (UTC)(link)
I revel in the idea that I get to read all of those things, but frankly I don't know how you do it. Of course, if you look at my October schedule, it looks kind of like this but doesn't have anything to do with writing.

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-10-07 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, see, apart from work and going to the gym, I have very little by way of personal commitments. I do have a decent amount of time to devote to writing. :)

[identity profile] debbiel66.livejournal.com 2010-10-07 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I have one little measly story that feels very impressive and intimidating to me right now... seriously don't know how you do it.

Any chance that a Fusion fic is going to come out of any of those projects? A girl can ask.... ;)

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-10-07 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah. These are just fics-with-deadlines. I have other projects, including "Roses in December" and Fusion that I'll be working on regularly as well. :)

And hey, I write reasonably fast and I have a weird work schedule that gives me a lot of time on my own to write. So don't feel bad.

Okay, now I just feel kinda pathetic panicking over reversebang, which is my only deadliney project atm. Though I think my initial estimate of a 10k fic for that was wildly optimistic DDDX I wonder if I can bribe the mods for a late due posting date...

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-10-08 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Dude, don't feel pathetic. I have a really weird work schedule that gives me a lot of time on my own with nothing to do other than watch TV or write. So. ;)

I'm looking forward to your reversebang!

Sweet frost, honey, you're insane.

I loves it.

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-10-08 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Totally, unabashedly insane. At least it's the fun kind of insane. :D

So apparently when I run out of challenges, I need to come ask you what YOU'RE doing as you have a never ending supply. Good to know :)

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-10-08 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
LOL

I keep stumbling across them, and I have no willpower!

Are you looking for challenges now? I have a list! ;)

[identity profile] icelily01.livejournal.com 2010-10-08 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
Not this very second, no. My Reverse Big Bang is written and in the beta stages now, so that's set but I haven't even started thinking about my Sassy exchange assignment. So I should get that finished before I sign up for anything else.

But after that, I'll be back :P So keep that list!

[identity profile] klutzy-girl.livejournal.com 2010-10-07 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Good luck on all of this!

And LOL, we must share the same brain, because I've been wanting to do the same thing.

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-10-08 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! I'm going to need it.

And yeah, sometimes having a list is very helpful indeed. :)

[identity profile] harrigan.livejournal.com 2010-10-07 09:21 pm (UTC)(link)
That's great news for us! (And add my vote to those hoping a fusion fic will be among your upcoming wordcount triumphs!)

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-10-08 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
I'm totally going to be writing Fusion and Roses in December, too. This is just a list of fics with actual deadlines so I know what I'm getting into. :)

[identity profile] charis-kalos.livejournal.com 2010-10-08 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Wow! I have so many of your stories saved in my SPN file waiting for me to have time to read fanfic - which might be this weekend. I don't want to jinx myself, but Sunday's service is almost completely prepared and it's only lunchtime Friday. As long as there are no crises demanding my pastoral care, tomorrow may be my reading day.

[identity profile] inyron.livejournal.com 2010-10-08 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oooh, glad to know it's probably going to end up that long. :)

[identity profile] needtakehave.livejournal.com 2010-10-08 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Holy crap! You sound like me! :) I don't have deadline so much, unless you count all the posting deadlines for the various LAS comms stuff, but does it count if I have like 75 in progress fics I'm working on and a virtual season fanfic project?

[identity profile] rainylemons.livejournal.com 2010-10-08 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
Puppies? *ducks and runs*

Man, that's a lot to write and I envy you for it so!
