Checkpoint #3 (the last!)

[chosenfire28.livejournal.com]

This is it guys, the last checkpoint. Which means you have little over a week to get your rough draft done. They are due June 3rd (instructions on how to turn in your rough draft are coming up next).

Till then, please check in and let me know if there is anything I can do to help you!

Here is how the checkpoint will work. Same as last years big bang, we are keeping a list of everyone who has signed up and what crossover they are doing (so if you marked undecided or changed yours let us know). We would like to add to the list current Author word counts so that is what we need from you. Comment to the post with the below filled out. Only skip what you aren't sure about yet.

Anything Else: (personal issues that are making it hard to write, need someone to read through what you have and give feedback, need to rant a little?)

Author: Ultra / ultra_fic
Crossover: Leverage / Veronica Mars
Current Fic Word Count: ~32,000
Type: gen/het
What I Like About the Story: It's finished! lol The character interactions worked out well, I think. Got the pairings to work believably in the setting.
What I Don’t Like About the Story: The con isn't that great, and some of it feels a little rushed.
Do you think you will be ready to hand in a draft by June 3rd? It's essentially done, though the beta isn't done with it yet
Anything Else: I think I need to go back and change/add some things... but I'm not sure if I'm going to have time now. Grrr. Its a pain in the butt when all the ideas in your head just don't translate into the writing of it as you would like them to, but I'm hoping I can make it work yet.

I think I'm going to have to bow out at this point. Just haven't had the inspiration I expected.

I've been focusing on my fic for another big bang and pretty much forgot about this one...oops, looks like another year of not getting one done for this challenge.

What I Like About the Story: I'm really thrilled with the idea. I've been mostly ambivalent about the other things I was planning to write, but I'm actually stoked about this one.
What I Don’t Like About the Story: I've got multiple idea for this that will make it into one super long story, or another series, which is pretty much the last thing I need.
Do you think you will be ready to hand in a draft by June 3rd? Yes
Anything Else: Nothing really yo complain about. I'm in a writing pickle because of my own lack of inspiration, but nothing so deep that I can't get out.

[scandalbaby.livejournal.com]

I'll fill this out on Tuesday when I can get to a computer, but I was wondering if I could also turn in my rough draft of the story I was able to finish on Tuesday as well, since I may not have internet access until after the 3rd.

Current Fic Word Count: 8,000

Do you think you will be ready to hand in a draft by June 3rd? I believe so

[banbury.livejournal.com]

Author: banbury
Crossover: Adam Lambert/Harry Potter/Highlander/The Sentinel/more in passing
Current Fic Word Count: not sure
Type: (gen, het, slash) slash
What I Like About the Story: the idea :)
What I Don’t Like About the Story: not finished
Do you think you will be ready to hand in a draft by June 3rd? hope so, my computer went kaput on me mid-May and I just restored it couple days ago, so I'm currently trying to fish out all parts I've written so far and put it together and finish and edit, I'll know more by the end of the week, but hope very much that I'll be ready
Anything Else: (personal issues that are making it hard to write, need someone to read through what you have and give feedback, need to rant a little?) I need beta and may be a little more time to finish

[kerrykhat.livejournal.com]

I think I'm going to have to drop out of this round. My week is crazy busy, and I don't have enough to make the word count for the rough draft.

[scandalbaby.livejournal.com]

Author: Ragna (scandalbaby)
Crossover: Sherlock/Elementary
Current Fic Word Count: Over 15K (I'm at a public computer and can't open my .zip file)
Type: Gen and het
What I Like About the Story: It's an interesting step in the series it's a part of, and a real game changer. Also, it's finished.
What I Don’t Like About the Story: Nothing. I'm pretty happy with it.
Do you think you will be ready to hand in a draft by June 3rd? I will not get computer access again until June 4th, so if I can forward it to you from my phone ahead of time or turn it in on the 4th either option would work for me.
Anything Else: I'd love it if someone who is familiar with both Sherlock and Elementary could give it a read-through. It's part of a series, though, and you have to read at least the first story to understand the AU.

[scandalbaby.livejournal.com]

Author: Ragna (scandalbaby)
Crossover: Sherlock/Star Trek Reboot
Current Fic Word Count: 7.1K
Type: Gen
What I Like About the Story: The idea has been sitting in my head since I saw the trailer for "Star Trek Into Darkness" and upon actually seeing the movie I knew I could make it work. Also, I really enjoy writing Kirk.
What I Don’t Like About the Story: I literally just started it a few days ago so I'm hoping I can get the 10K minimum done by next week, or else I won't be able to submit it. Also, I am terrified I'm going to screw up Spock and Scotty.
Do you think you will be ready to hand in a draft by June 3rd? I just checked and I will not get computer access again until June 4th, so if I can turn it in a day late I should be able to get it in.
Anything Else: This is what I get for changing ideas two weeks before deadline...

Crossover: Power Rangers/Saint Seiya
Current Fic Word Count: 8,000
Type: (gen, het, slash) Slash and gen and het.
What I Like About the Story: It makes me write about two of my favorite series.
What I Don’t Like About the Story: My inability to portray correctly the world of Saint Seiya.
Do you think you will be ready to hand in a draft by June 3rd? No, I don't think so. I'm preparing for another BB. But I'll be ready before the deadline. I'm so sorry for the long wait.
Anything Else: (personal issues that are making it hard to write, need someone to read through what you have and give feedback, need to rant a little?)

Nothing really.

[jjjanimefan.livejournal.com]

Author:
Crossover:Glee/bandom: Panic at the disco
Current Fic Word Count:17k
Type: (gen, het, slash)slash
What I Like About the Story:It makes me laugh?
What I Don’t Like About the Story:It feels rushed at times and the dialogue is awkward.
Do you think you will be ready to hand in a draft by June 3rd?I think so. One scene still remains to be written, but it's short and more of a scene changer.
Anything Else: (personal issues that are making it hard to write, need someone to read through what you have and give feedback, need to rant a little?) I still don't have a fixed beta for this which is what worries me the most. I could use some feedback, especially on grammar. So if there's someone interested in reading it, I'd definitely be grateful.

And I'm going to have to drop. *grimaces* Word count is up there, but I'm not at a point in the plot where it can be wrapped up enough to be called its own story.

Author: Aeron Lanart
Crossover: Highlander/Torchwood (and a little bit of classic Doctor Who)
Current Fic Word Count: 30k ish
Type: (gen, het, slash) gen (references to both m/f and m/m pairings, but they are not the focus of the fic)
What I Like About the Story: It has a beginning and an end
What I Don’t Like About the Story: The middle is still playing silly buggers
Do you think you will be ready to hand in a draft by June 3rd? Yes (it's 80% done), but still not sure I'll have it completed on time
Anything Else: RL is a bitch. Can we get an extension on final submission date if we need it? I want to get this story told!

[winters-empire.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, should have left this message days ago, but I'm dropping out. At this point I'm certain I won't be able to finish.
