[Check-In]

[kalloway]

(where the heck did June go?)

Since we're at the last post for the month, it's time for list revision. You are free to look over your list and remove anything that you've realized isn't working for you. There is nothing wrong with keeping all your bunnies, of course, but it is also okay to let go.


This is also a weekly check-in! You do not have to check in, of course, but if you would like to comment on the last week, feel free!


If you have a deadline coming up, you can do it! If you need a deadline, feel free to ask!

I was gonna do this round of pbam but I got broken up with last week so I don't really feel like writing smut D: D: D:

*hugs if you need them*

I finished everything on my list except the last fill of my tic_tac_woe bingo card: robot/AI. Now that I've finished two treats, a bigbang and two exchange assignments, I feel that I lost some of the momentum. I'm in two mind whether I should join more exchanges or just finish my wip.

[kalloway]

Yay for completing so many things!

What works for you for motivation? I always vote for things-in-progress, but I know how hard it can be to regain momentum with them. Would a community deadline help, or can you set goals for yourself with small rewards?

[snowynight]

I find that instead of returning to my thing-in-process, a deadlie is a most effective motivator as I have now tried whether I'm able to do a pitch hit.

[kalloway]

Would a 'deadline' for the thing-in-progress help at all? I feel like I should try to set some for myself and maybe see if more of the community wants to challenge themselves. (sorry for a late reply, schedule-flip at work = too groggy to brain)

[snowynight]

I can try it. Thanks! It's a good idea.

I got two exchange pieces done! I don't have any more assignments due till the middle and end of July, but I've been gathering references. One idea I have would involve creating two pieces, and I'm unsure about how they'll come out. Gonna make some thumbnails and then try and see what happens, ahh.

Also seriously considering starting a three/four-piece project. Guess we'll see!

Have ideas for and planned out what I'm gonna do for a big bang I signed up for, as well as for a bingo! Excited to work on those :3

[kalloway]

Yay! That's awesome and it sounds like you've got exciting plans ahead! \o/

Finished up the monster I was working on, and have started on my big bang.

Problem is, got distracted from the big bang by another story. I'm getting the feeling my bunnies don't want to cooperate on it. :(

[kalloway]

\o/

The other bunnies will wait; you may have to remind them of this~

I FINISHED MY BIGGEST PROJECT. I'm so excited. 74k words of delicious fic, all finished.

ANd I finished an exchange fic that's due next month, too. All edited and ready for posting.

I need to work on other things but i'm taking a break on writing for about a month now. Son is visiting. <3

[kalloway]

Awesome! \o/ Enjoy your break~ <3

Since the last time I checked in (I think), I have posted my challenge fic, and also another shortish fic off the WIP list. Making for a total of (so far) 3 fics and 2 podfics crossed off the WIP list I posted in February.

Also I posted a random fluffy little snippet.

I'm waiting to get back to my podfic projects until after my upcoming vacation, so I don't have to go through the "get it all back in my ear/head/voice" process twice. :)

This month I participated in a friend's nanowrimo-analogue, which finally got me working for real on my Big Bang fic -- very slowly and agonizingly, but doing at least a little writing most days this half-month, many of them on the BB project. I'm hoping to sustain that habit, and also get in some writing during this coming week's vacation.

I'm still yearning for the days when I could produce lots of words fairly easily...though, to be fair, part of the problem is that I do a lot of work on WIPs these days, and the reason things tend to be in my WIP pile is because I've written all the easy parts and am now left with filling in the parts I was stuck on in the first place. So, I've stacked the deck against myself with a lot of slogging to get through. *sigh*

[kalloway]

Yay for progress~

And good luck with filling in all the little middles on your WiPs. I have a couple like that, too, and they're definitely difficult to get back into sometimes.

Had to take a bunny out behind the shed with a shovel this week. By which I mean that I banged out a ficlet for a Yuri on Ice/Madoka Magica fusion in order to forcibly eject it from my system -- I cannot allow myself to write it in its entirety because the concept is just too damn sad.

...at least there was writing?

[kalloway]

Yay for writing and getting an idea out of the pen~ \o/

Revised list:

--Kingsman Big Bang - done!
--Kingsman fic where Harry helps Eggsy find a date, which I started back in fucking October and is like 80% done - now about 90% done
--TG - Scottish Fiction - closer to done but I need to buckle down and review canon
--SW – service kink - done! just needs beta and editing
--TG apocalypse (possibly for RPF Big Bang?) - no progress on this, god knows if I'm ever going to finish
--TG truth drug fic from like 5 years ago jesus just finish this - no progress on this one either
--a ficlet for every GT episode - no progress here, but hopefully doing my canon review for the other fic will help
--tempted to put NaNoWriMo on here but that's probably being wildly ambitious - definitely not doing NaNo because too much stress
--some sort of Historical Farm fic out of the snippets I have, also probably wildly ambitious - I started writing something on this but I think it's going to turn out to be massive so IDK

Also accomplished:
--half of two fics for PBAM, but feeling less thrilled about them right now
--posted a couple of things that were never going to get finished, so I just threw them up on AO3 as 'abandoned'
--Kingsman fics relating to the trailer for the new film

So, I'm feeling good about finishing two of my planned 3 big fics! Now I just want to finish up some other stuff... but then again, I signed up for rarepairfest, so that will be something new entirely. :/

[kalloway]

That looks like amazing progress! \o/
