Finishing Fics... Finally

It's October, our ninth month.


This is a check-in post! You do not have to check in if you don't want to and there are no requirements for what you need to check in with. This is your space, so have at!


Feel free to talk about success, frustration, current projects, nagging projects, exciting projects, and everything else going on.


If you have a deadline, you can do it! If you need a deadline, they're available.


And for the important announcement: There will be no 2019 round. At the end of January, I'm locking the doors, putting the chairs on the tables, and sweeping the floor. I appreciate everyone's participation over the years, the folks who helped mod while I finished up school, and the community in general. Because I know how the year starts going quickly from this point on, I wanted to give advance notice and time for everyone to find new hangouts. I'll keep posting check-ins til the end of January, and you're welcome to stay til then. Thank you.

I think we can have a proper annual wrap-up post some time over the weekend... and start getting ready for 2017! \o/

However, I don't seem to have a copy of the old banner I used for advertising the community and it doesn't seem to be online anymore either (I peeked back thru some community promo comms just in case). Would anyone be willing to make a medium?-sized banner for the community? About 500x300 pixels should be fine. Bunny-theme encouraged but not required.

Just a reminder - this is your community, too. Feel free to use it to ask for advice, vent, commiserate, celebrate, etc.


Awesome! We did it! One Dead Plotbunny 2015 is over~ Feel free to check-in with your weekly stuff or everything from the year, if you'd like!


2016 will be in the very capable hands of aurordark, misslucyjane, jordannamorgan, and lexicalcrow, though I'll still be around for last-ditch support (post is a day late because I, uh, slept through yesterday)...


I don't have details about advertising/banners - I'm sure those will follow shortly.


Thank you, everyone. If we're still going in 2018, my diploma and I will be ready to resume active duty. Until then, I'll be sniping plotbunnies when I can and tinkering with robots and motors otherwise (and sleeping)!

Hi! I hope everyone has had an insightful and enjoyable week of rounding up their personal herds of plotbunnies. If you are still herding, don't worry - our first check-in and second activity is still more than a weekend away!

Since there seems to have been some confusion and misunderstanding in regards to the community's 'scheduled' posts, here is the basic schedule for this month:

~February 1st: Community Intro Post, First Activity
(a Brainstorming Post)
~February 9th: Second Activity, First Check-In
~February 18th: Second Check-In
(maybe another Brainstorming Post)
~February 25th: Third Check-In, possibly something else but that is way too far away for me to think about.

Each check-in post has mutliple sections - instructions to check in if so desired, a link to the current Brainstorming Post, and encouragement to meet deadlines and an offer to give deadlines. If you need a deadline or reminder for a deadline, please comment to the post. I'll ask if you'd like a public deadline and if so, I'll add it to the check-in template. If you'd rather a private deadline, PM me and I'll put a sticky up on my wall and remind you a couple of times as it approaches. There are no penalties for not meeting deadlines or anything - some people just work better with dates attached and that's cool.

Check-Ins are scheduled for ~Wednesdays. This means somewhere between Tuesday evening and Thursday afternoon, probably Wednesday morning (mod-standard-time) once I'm caffeinated. Because getting from a project starting on a Sunday to weekly check-ins on Wednesdays involves some tinkering, the first couple weeks run funny. I won't tell if you don't. Also, if it's gotten to be Friday and there's no post, send me a PM. I probably just lost track of days - it happens about twice a year. ^^;

Every part of this community is optional. Do what you find comfortable; ignore what doesn't work for you. There are no sign-in lists, no spread-sheets, no penalties and no nagging. Your goals, projects, and everything else are solely yours unless you've requested and agreed upon things like writing buddies, deadlines, etc.

Please, if you are unsure on anything or would just like clarification, ask me in any post tagged !admin: questions or PM me.

A Brainstorming Post will go up either tonight or tomorrow and hey, I've not seen any personal intro posts, so maybe I'll get mine up. ^_^; Have a fantabulous weekend.

Hey, onedeadplotbunny, I have something I'd like to ask you. More than once, I've thought about and also had discussions about brainstorming and how difficult it can be when personal friends aren't necessarily into what we're working on and aren't necessarily the best sounding boards for ideas, etc.


I'm proposing community brainstorming posts where anyone could drop in and ask for a little help getting ideas together/getting past stuck spots/trying to figure out what to do with that one last bingo square/etc.


There would be no requirements for participation/using any of the ideas brainstormed/etc.


This post is open to any questions/thoughts/commentary.
