In which ratherastory tries to get her shit together

[ratherastory]

Oh my God. I am behind on EVERYTHING. So I'm making a list of what needs to get done this month, along with due dates where applicable. No idea if it'll work, since life/job/whatever might get in the way, but I'll give it the good old college try.

Okay, folks. If I owe you a fic (charity, gift, other) and it's NOT on this list, please let me know? I have a memory like a sieve, and I don't want to let people down more than I already have.

Challenges & exchanges


- spn_j2_bigbang: I need to fill in the gaps on this before sending it to my artist on May 13th. That's a lot of missing wordcount. *panics slightly*

- h50_bigbang: Rough draft due May 15th, 2011. 20,000 words minimum. I'm halfway there, determined to keep the wordcount between 20k and 25k.

- spn_jimmynovak: Novakfest. Pinch-hit for twoskeletons, which I am SHAMEFULLY behind on.

- hoodie_time: The between-the-lines challenge, due May 27th. *cries a bit*

- leveragexchange: fanworks exchange, no wordcount limit, due June 1st, 2011. My posting date is June 25th.

- ohsam: a Sam-focused h/c fic challenge. Again, exactly what it sounds like. Due March 2nd, 2011. Minimum 2,000 words. Very late, and I will be posting under amnesty.


Charity fic/podfic

- fandom_flood_ap: I owe starrylizard a podfic.

- fandom_flood_ap: I owe casspeach hurt-yet-badass!Steve.

- help_japan: SPN fic for sinka, who wants a fix-it fic for the infamous 4.22 voicemail.

- I was meant to record something for podficbigbang and life got away from me. I'm still going to record it, but it won't be part of the challenge.


Individual gift fic

- peppervl: she won a fic from me fair and square, and requested whumped!Sam and caring!Gabriel, preferably with plottiness. I suck at not getting this done before now, but I'm sort of lacking inspiration.

- morganoconner: she still has a collared!Dean fic in the works from me.

Community management stuff

- ohsam: I have to write up the long-overdue master list for the h/c challenge that ended in March. I am shamefully, shamefully behind on this, even with mimblexwimble's long-suffering help. Jeez.

- I have rules to write for another comm I'm setting up, and am way, WAY behind on that too. Egads.

Good luck. That's a lot to write. I just have the h50 big bang and it's stressful enough. Of course that might be because I keep getting distracted by other things like wank and flashfic... Heaven forbid my muse wants to do an episode coda tonight.

You are incredible! <3 Is your SPN BB RPF or SPN? (Wow, that is a lot of acronyms.)

Also, you don’t owe me a fic, but you seem to be missing your de-aged!Dean with a kitty, Sam/Lisa weirdness prompt from hoodie_time. Not that I'm totally stalking that prompt or anything. La la la.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Fuckity.

*goes off to try to find the due date on that*

*facepalms repeatedly*

Thank you!

[maypoles.livejournal.com]

YOU CAN DO IT!

[janie-tangerine.livejournal.com]

Oh dear I don't envy you, that's a damn lot of fic (and reminds me I still have a charity thing to finish - I should do that..). Good luck with managing everything! I'll be here waiting for the novakfest one though - more Jimmy is never bad. ;)

[primrose-1.livejournal.com]

Wow. I don't know how you do it! Hang in there, lady!

[trinaest.livejournal.com]

Woweee, that is quite a list.

Want to do some informal evening word wars this week? (I have several looming deadlines too!)

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

I would love to! Are you free at all on Thursday? I was thinking of putting in a word war on the calendar anyway. :)

[trinaest.livejournal.com]

Thursday should be good for me! Starting around 5pm (Pacific).

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Awesome, consider it done.

Also, I can't seem to update the calendar. Phooey.

You have a typo in your tags. It's not ratherastory_is_a_flake, it's supposed to be ratherastory_is_gods_gift_to_fandom.

[mimblexwimble.livejournal.com]

Ditto.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

♥ *twirls you* ♥

Given how freaking patient you've been with me lately, that really means a lot. :)

♥

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Hee! Well, thank you, but the flake thing does apply in spades. :)

[rainylemons.livejournal.com]

I can't remember, are you doing the genBB or no?

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Yes I am, but it's not on my "Oh My God Panic NOW!" list. ;)

[bellatemple]

Wow, that list is ridiculous. Uh . . . *offers you chocolate covered espresso beans*?

Use those with care, though. I once ended up writing a season 4 BtVS crack fic in which the Scooby Gang was being observed by a delusional field anthropologist while under the influence of chocolate covered espresso beans.

And then I never finished it.

In other words: WOO! GO! YOU CAN DO IT!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

It is kind of ridiculous, isn't it?

*frets*

I have never had chocolate-covered espresso beans...

[bellatemple]

They are tasty and they make you vibrate.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

LOL

Sign me up!

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

Wow, you are a fic WARRIOR. Good luck! I beliiiiieve in you. :D *waves pompoms*

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

*smooshes you*

I feel so bad about your pinch-hit being ten million years late, but I want to make sure it's good too, and... guh. *hangs head*
