ante_up_losers | Another check-in!

We've all been hit with a case of the RL stuffs, so it's totally understandable if you haven't finished your entire bang yet (or even started it!). Don't stress - it doesn't help anything. We'd love to hear from you, though, just to be sure you're still out there and hopefully still in the game.

Remember - anyone from the team can start off the check-ins, it doesn't have to be the bang creator! Please comment with the subject line of your team name, and the whole team can check in under that top level comment with progress, cheerleading, flailing, whip-cracking, and/or throwing fruit and veg.

During college I carried emergency tea in my purse because no one in my boyfriend's house drank tea, and an uncaffeinated me is a very grumpy me. XD

You're a true hero to the tea movement. <3

*hugs*

Thanks so much, bb. I'm trying to get back into the swing of writing and creating and all that jazz. GROOVY FEELINGS AT ALL COSTS. <3333333

\o/ You'll get there! I believe in you!

*inspirational music and a fade in to a montage of you lifting weights, running up steps before stopping and being out of breath, staring at a blank piece of paper, drinking tea, shopping for fruits, writing furiously then crumpling up the paper, lifting weights that are much heavier than before, attending a spin class, and finally writing with a confident expression*

Maybe you could practice by writing noir!Roque... ;D

*shifty eyes*

Wait a second ... I see what you tried to do there!

But noir!Roque should totes exist. I mean, he's so gruff and well-meaning and ...

Damn it. I don't have tiiiiime! D:

*Jumps around to Midnight City* WAITING IN THE CARRRRR! WAITING FOR A RIDE IN THE DAAARRRKK!

Hello! Hello!

lady_krysis gently, kindly nudged me in email, and I went from the anxious-avoidance of the last few weeks to actually Making Good Art in about two minutes flat. I have spent much of the day excited by words and not being anxious about work, and this is a wonderous, wonderous improvement of my Saturday.

I don't know that I have finalised bits to send for Making (literal) Good Art, but my god, some of them are close enough to taste. *excited*

Thank you for your kind words! I've been totally swamped this week (seriously, haven't touched fandom since I checked in - argh!) but I have a free day tomorrow, so possibly a complete (very) rough draft by next check in!

I'm mostly worried about the revision, TBH! I've never written anything this long, and the revision is usually the part that I agonize over. I should have the rest of the draft banged out (however badly) in a few days, but OMG, I'm afraid it will be so full of continuity errors and plot holes that I won't be able to fix it. I was not counting on my new job being this mentally exhausting.

Thank you for your kind words!

(Also -- distracted by the Avengers? -- I'm right there with you!)

All the Oscar Jaenada pics! Thank you for your kind words! I'm hoping to have a draft done soon, so that I have lots of time to fix it up. I'm gonna need it.

Well, I'm just starting them - comics just aren't my thing, I dunno. That particular media and I don't mix well, and I've never figured out why. But I really do want the source material for this fandom, so I will get through them eventually - yeah, even that part, which...

;___;

<3!!!!

We are cleaning up the living room this weekend, so hopefully I will find the tracking info to hunt down that recording device.

It's been a big RL fest around here... hopefully you had a chance to play around with things this weekend. :D

Aw, bb. :(

Everything you do is wonderful. I hope podfic has been helping?

\o/

Go you! This is fantastic news! :D :D :D

Things are much better! Podfic has helped, but it was really you and pistol who gave me a boost. ^_^

I ♥ you two. <333

Woohoo!

I'm so excited! I'm learning all sorts of fancy new tricks, waiting for your awesome words. :D

haha yeah, it's definitely a rougher version. But it's definitely worth it, especially for Aisha. Haven't gotten that far myself either. Avengers sure did pick a lousy time to burrow into my brain.

Yes, you do have tons of words already, because you are awesome and you can dooo itttt \o/ Sometimes rl just gets in the way by being a turd, but you have minions now. We'll make it back off!

We ♥ you too, bb. <3333!

I can, I can!

Thank you so much, bb!

I'm definitely working on more of everything -- some podfic, some graphics, and some writing. <3

Damn you, Avengers! *shakes fist* (Oh god, I have so many fandom things due and I'm moving, aaaaaah!)

Hi hon!

Checking in, as the bangs are technically due tonight. I haven't seen you on the last several check-ins, can you let me know how you're doing?

If you're in the middle, but confident you will finish by 8/31, feel free to put a placeholder in the collection (posting tutorial here. I'm just trying to keep things straight for folks who are doing complements. If you need to drop out, no big deal, but do let me know when you get a sec, will you?

Thanks!

I honestly haven't gotten the last few check-ins. I got my complement for Tygermama done. The Signal Boost remix is being a bit more troublesome. But I should be able to get it done by the end of the month.
