I am still SO EXCITED about this, you guys, I'm just thrilled with all the amazing projects that are happening. I just will be cheering offline, telepathically, mostly. :)

Team Podfic

[kate]

Here! And now packing and catching a 6am flight to Rhode Island. lady_krysis - how did your experimentation go? katemonkey, how's your voice doing? Have you decided on a story?

Re: Team Podfic

[saekhwa]

Experimentation went well? Except for all of the noises like the goddamn motorcycles, because it was an event weekend, which I completely forgot about.

So I'll have to do another read through in a quieter space and/or figure out this noise reduction thing in Audacity. If I'm lucky, that will happen this weekend. I'm probably not so lucky, because I have to help with a conference this week and then another conference next week plus outreach/training, so I'll sort of be MIA, silently cheering everyone on.

Re: Team Podfic

[katemonkey]

I haven't decided on a story at all, and I'm stupid busy over the next few days. FAIL.

Team Tasty Nomz

[coinin]

I'm still here, but fic stuff is on hold until after this coming weekend, due to Real Life.

Re: Team Tasty Nomz

[pistolera]

I'm being completely helpful and not sidetracking Coinin at all.

*runs away*

Re: Team Tasty Nomz

[kate]

Yeah, I totally know the feeling and I am in the same situation. No worries! It'll get done, I have faith.

Team Slaughtermelon!

[zoronoa]

Hi guys,

It looks like real life has caught up with me at last. I find myself exhausted every day after ringing people and going places every day, so I've had a very uneventful week when in terms of progress. I may need some whip-cracking, though I fear it might be like flogging a dead horse at the moment /o\ I usually don't complain about this stuff, but I don't want people to think I have no intention of showing progress. I HAVE made some rough sketches though, which I'll post on my journal soon.

Just so people know, I'm not dead, just really, REALLY tired *dead*

Re: Team Slaughtermelon!

[pistolera]

Don't feel bad. I've written like 0 words in anything I should be writing in. ((When you're feeling up to it we should try doing the same thing we did with CC's b-day present - we were super productive that day))

I shall whip you, but only once you're rested up and stuffed full of pastries. So get some rest, and let me know when you're feeling ready to be nagged. <3

Re: Team Slaughtermelon!

[cleo1969.livejournal.com]

Outside of RL being mean to you is there anything we can help with? Inspiration? Picspamming? Yodelling? (not me though)

Re: Team Slaughtermelon!

[saekhwa]

Oh, bb. *hugs*

I don't think this week has been good for anyone, me included. Lucky for us, we still have time, so *offers you what little cheer I have left*

Re: Team Slaughtermelon!

[kate]

Hey, RL is happening all over the place bb, don't worry. Get some rest. <3333

Team Ludomania

[zoronoa]

Hi guys.

So yeah, like I said in the post for Team Slaughtermelon, I've been busier than I would have liked and have been exhausted because of it. I DID get some rules written out (which the lovely coinin has offered to beta when I'm done \o/) though it's still a jumble and far from complete /o\. physicsandballistics helped me find some graphics for the board too which I still need to replace, thank you bby ; 3;

I will also post an update with this in my journal sometime soon. I just feel like I need a decent nights sleep of more than 5 hours and I'll be fresh and ready for more work.

Re: Team Ludomania

[pistolera]

Anytime bby, I'm always here if you need gun-betaing. <3

Team Division

[goodbyebird]

Ach there has been zero words of actual story writing :/ (there was however a lot of work, bad weather, a new iPad, and same old same old emotional crap, and the avalanche of new TV episodes) I did pick up the movies when I was home, plus the comics, so will be re-familiarizing myself with the source. I'm still a bit stumped as to how Aisha fits in(background-wise, not story-wise), so hopefully that'll be resolved.

I guess the game is officially on now, huh? *gears up*

Re: Team Division

[theleaveswant]

Game on! If it would help you at all to talk out the things that stump you, I am more than happy to listen and offer feedback if I can. You know my gmail ID.

Team Cleo

[cleo1969.livejournal.com]

I didn't put a lot of time into the storyboard this past week as I wanted. I did manage though to work on the text that actually would cover Signal Boost. Still trying to figure how to remix it right so that it captures the full essence of the original.

Team No Fate

[cleo1969.livejournal.com]

Still working on the complement wallpapers. Have got an idea for the second wallpaper but haven't actually put it into action yet. Jensen is still being difficult but I've put him in time out for a bit while I work on the rest for a while.

Re: Team No Fate

[theleaveswant]

Haven't started the gloves yet (have to finish knitting a thing for the TO and NYC Pride parades first) but have some yarn I think will work, and they're next on my queue.

Team Petunias!

[harpers_child]

i started talk therapy this week and therefore got bupkis done. unless putting playlists on my ipod counts in which case i did that. i don't think anything will be getting done this week either. too much garbage stirred up in my head.

Re: Team Petunias!

[theleaveswant]

Good luck with the talk therapy, and good on you for taking care of yourself.

Team Firelizards

[recessional]

I totally got distracted writing Clint/Natasha&Bruce/Betty fic. I have no excuses.

Re: Team Firelizards

[coinin]

I dunno, I think the Clint/Natasha&Bruce/Betty fic was a pretty good excuse. :)

Team Roque

[saekhwa]

Work is kicking my ass, so by the time I get home, I just want to veg out and eat ice cream. Next week isn't going to be much better either. Le sigh.

Re: Team Roque

[kate]

This actually made me go out looking for ice cream. I did not find any. :(

Team Fucking Hipster

[katemonkey]

Oh my God, people, what the fuck was I thinking? TOO MUCH WORK. TOO MUCH HACKSPACE. TOO MUCH EVERYTHING.

I just wanna sit on the couch and stare at pictures of pretty people.

Re: Team Fucking Hipster

[kate]

Seriously, I am right there too. Which means that your googledoc is sitting in my inbox, not getting read. :( I will try to be better!

Team Thunderbolt

[theleaveswant]

Still haven't committed any actual, official Words yet, and I still have other projects I want to finish first, but team brainstorming is helping a lot to work through the obstacles I had before.

Re: Team Thunderbolt

[kate]

Oh I'm so glad team brainstorming is helping! I feel bad, I keep staring at the emails and not having any brain to help with the storming. :(

Team Ionisation

[kate]

Pistol is inspiring the shit out of me, but RL is doing its best to kill me and I'm not even kidding. I haven't even written any more since last week. :(

Re: Team Ionisation

[pistolera]

I'm getting the urge to mix a relaxing tea for the whole fandom and then politely demand everyone take a week off of fandom work to sleep and recharge their batteries while getting real life work done.

My e-hugs are really ineffective against real life stress, but I'm giving you one anyways. <333

Team Wonderland

[charybdis]

I have words. Unfortunately, it looks like these words are from a fic called, "How Duchess Killed the Red Queen, Played the White Rabbit, and Saved Wonderland from CIA Gunrunners -- featuring Duchess, with guest appearances by Cougar". I did not know that I had so many Duchess feelings.

I think I will use those first scenes, though. We'll see what happens next; the only thing that seems to help me work out these questions is more writing, so I've got my work cut out for me.

Team Mayincatec

[franzeska]

~1300 words, all gratuitous porn. Yay, porn. Fuck you, antibiotics.

Re: Team Mayincatec

[charybdis]

Sexy times are always a good start. :)

Take care!

Team Soccer Dad

[katya]

Hallo the room! I have words and I can prove it:

So Jake plodded through working outsourced technical support for internet service providers for ten bucks an hour. It let him work from home in his boxers, and make his own schedule, but it was boring as fuck. Maybe it was the sunlight, or maybe his mind was starting to go after over a week of eating Pizza Patron, but Jensen suddenly found new inspiration to get out into the world and find his passion.

Two days later, Jess bailed him out of jail (hacking into an interviewer’s personal file to fill it with the names of all his favorite porn sites after a failed interview was apparently an arrestable offense), and that was when she told him about the Petunias.

... about 1400 words like that plus some notes and another ~900 words of unincorporated backstory.

Re: Team Soccer Dad

[coinin]

Hurrah! *cheerleading and pompoms*

Team Haiku!

[maharetr]

Reporting in! I have written some new words, not many, but some, and am backing away from draft one to write a draft two! A better one.

Also, I found All The Losers comics in a fanish shop while interstate, and I'm 2/3 of the way thorugh and continuing to inhale it whenever I can. I'm calling that research! :D

Re: Team Haiku!

[kate]

I am here! Two drafts, yayyyyyyyyyyyyy! Ooh, and ~research~ yay! I have the comics at home - where I am not - and they still need reading. :(
