Still Alive. Just

[jadesfire]

*waves frantically*

Nope, I aten't dead, just in a severe state of oh-good-grief-ness. But my SGA Big Bang, all forty-two and a half thousand words of it (written in the equivalent of SIX DAYS - see icon) is now submitted, and I have until the 25th to get it into a reasonable shape. Before then, I need to write my gateverse_remix story, which I'm actually quite looking forward to, just to give my brain a break. I'll plough through it while the Big Bang is with the betas.

This means I can start getting around to the comments I missed, the posts I missed and everything else I didn't do this week. I'm still going to be a hopeless friend until everything's done and in, but I can start trying again, at least. Thanks to everyone who's been commenting and keeping me going - I really, really appreciate it and will tell you so soon!

Hope I didn't miss anything important, and normal service will be resumed after the 25th, when my brain becomes my own again. Or at least as much as it ever is.

So. How is everybody?

WOW!!!!!!! That's very, very, very impressive! Congratulations!

Nice to have you back again. :-)

*beams* Thanks! My brain, she is mush, but I'm quietly pleased with how the story's going.

Heh, not sure how 'back' I'll be until it's finally over, but I'm starting to dabble again, which is nice :)

Knackered... and up to the eyeballs in badly written scientific papers that have to be edited, precised, and formatted into a project proposal document to put in front of the EC committee responsible for this stuff by 17.00 tomorrow! Argh, basically.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Argh argh. Nasty stuff, by the sounds of it. *sends sympathy*

Good luck!

Wow... that's really impressive! And now, it's going to be my turn since I just got an email reminding me I signed up as an artist for it. Right. :D

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Hee - cool! Hope you have fun with your story. If it's anything like your Tardis big bang work, it's going to be brilliant :)

[in-the-bottle.livejournal.com]

I'm just hoping I'll be able to get my pick of the fic this year since unlike Tardis big bang, the artists get to choose the fic based on the summaries provided, and last year, due to the time difference, I almost was left with very few choices!

You know, it'd be funny if I end up with your fic! LOL!

[miss-zedem.livejournal.com]

*pets you* You've done a fantastic job. You should be really proud of yourself.

Meeting went surprisingly well. I got tackleglomped by a couple of colleagues, and I managed an entire conversation with manager without wanting to punch her. This is a big achievement...

Now I just have to find something to do with myself Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays :S

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Glad it went okay - that's definitely a HUGE achievement. Well done! *hugs you*

Only two days? Meh, better than nothing I guess. Hello, Starbucks? ;)

[greyias.livejournal.com]

Poking my head out of my hidey writey cave long enough to offer a big congrats, and a huge tip of my hat for finishing! 40K in six days... I bow to your speedy word prowess!

Hope I didn't miss anything important, and normal service will be resumed after the 25th, when my brain becomes my own again.

Haha... WORD.

Okay... back to staring at my own word count... 1.5 scenes to go!

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

I didn't say they were 40k of good words. *rolls up sleeves* now the hard work begins...

You'd think I'd learn from one Big Bang, wouldn't you? But noooooooooooooooooooooo ;)

*Cheers for you* You're going to make it!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I've been a writing mad woman myself- posted 15 fics so far this month! *boggles* and am all bouncy right now because one was recced at the sgagenrec comm!

err... what else...My kids come home from sleepaway camp today and I've already been informed we WILL be watching the Moffat DW episodes together tonight after dinner. :)

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Oh that's awesome - yay you!

Hee. Have fun :D

[pwcorgigirl.livejournal.com]

You do realize that, between this and your previous Big Fic, you wrote the equivalent of a novel in under two weeks? Girl, you got some truly awesome deadline-meeting skills!

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

There's a mind boggling thought... *boggles*

I am completely incapable of working without a deadline - things will go untouched for years, but give me a deadline, and I can turn them around in 24 hours. It's a thing...

[xwingace]

And I thought 10000 words in one week was pretty urgh. Congratulations! Pity it's in a fandom I'm not involved in. :-(

XWA

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

10000 words in one week IS pretty urgh! I really don't recommend 40k, and if I wasn't so horribly inefficient, it wouldn't have been necessary!

It's a shame your 10k aren't in fandoms I know either! :S

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

*waves back* and *cheers*

I think I am just about to write gen Nine, Jack, Rose... I just woke up with 'an idea' as someone who can write 1000s of words in six days you probably won't understand quite how terrifying that is to me.

Annnnd
You probably didn't actually need to know that but I felt the need to share...

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Hee.

Seriously, I DO NOT recommend 40k in six days, unless you want fried brain cells and not to get anything else done. It wasn't actually fun, and I've now got a whole pile of words and little energy for editing :S

Waking up with an idea is such a great feeling! Glad you felt the need to share :D Good luck!

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

Sharing means it might get finished... ?? or er might even get started... there are so many people floating around my house right *drums fingers*

[kristen999.livejournal.com]

Congrats on getting Big Bang done! It was a juggle to keep up wiht all the coms for it, but I saw your progress! I was so brain dead over the weekend, I missed this!

BIG HUGS

Can not wait to read it!!!
