Big Bang not-quite progress

[ratherastory]

Okay, so my draft is going to end up WAY shorter than my final version, but whatever. I have three days to finish. Here goes nothing:

53818 / 80000 words. 67% done!

God, I hope so. I've never written RPS. I wrote a teeny-tiny RPF fic last year, but nothing quite like this in scope. Eesh.

*hugs* you'll do wonderfully :) but I can relate! I'm doing for the first time a story for the spn_gen_bigbang and it's my first over 3-4K and it's scary!

So exciting! How is it going so far? I'll be taking part too, but I haven't started writing it yet.

[pinkphoenix1985.livejournal.com]

I know! Well, I joined the gsd_rtfn comm and I had two weeks just to write and I've gotten up to 9K and I've outlined the story :)

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I joined too and got about 20k out of the deal, so that's pretty good. It's a great little comm for that.

I know :) unfortunately, the next round is during exams for me so I'm going to be busy busy with that instead of the round. But I really enjoyed doing the round.

ME TOO! It's my second fic over 3-4K and the first over 10K.

I'm all of 1,500 words into it though... *headdesk*

And ratherastory, THAT'S AWESOME! Especially since I thought you'd dropped out of that one...

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

No, I dropped out of the ones ALSO due May 1st, because I was DYING. The Gen Big Bang should be okay, I hope...

[nwspaprtaxis.livejournal.com]

HOLY CHRIST!

You had multiple Big Bangs due May 1st?! What were you THINKING?! That's a fast track to the crazy house and and and I DON'T WANT YOU IN THE CRAZY HOUSE BECAUSE HOW WOULD I GET MY FUSION FIX OTHERWISE?????? *wibbles* *cries*

I'm just doing the Gen BB and it's already driving me insane. Mostly because I made Dean insane and he's permanently shattered in an emotional sense. *pets him*

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Yeah, at the time I had a plan, but then life got in the way and I had to scrap two of 'em. Alas. Maybe next year the schedule will be more staggered and I'll be better off.

The first BB is always the hardest. You'll do fine. Just keep plugging away at it. :)

Awwww. Thanks. I should be better off now that I have a cheerleader to bounce ideas off of and she is helping me with a major (MAJOR) plot point I was stuck on and psyching out about. That's too bad about dropping two of them. I hear you about life.

*hugs*

And you'll do amazing. I look forward to reading this one (even though it probably won't be in one sitting....)

[pinkphoenix1985.livejournal.com]

Good luck! I honestly don't have the time either *hugs* but we just have to write it by July so plenty of time! I've used two weeks of holiday recently to write and it really got me in the swing of things--I've got around 9K out of the 15K and I'm not even finished with the story!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Excellent news! You are going to kick ass, I know it. :)

Thanks! I hope so but I just don't know. I'm doing an AU of S6 involving Sam as RoboSam and his year with the Campbells. Not the most favorite of characters...
