BBB

[bootson]

UGH. YOU GUYS.

I KNOW there is still over two weeks before drafts are due for bandombigbang. And I know they pushed it back a day....

But OMG. I think I might have to pull out of wave one. I mean, I could, in theory, still get at least MOSTLY finished by then...but IDK. Right now I have just under 8,000 words of the 20,000 that I need...and most of those words are actually not-fic right now just so I know where I'm going. I'm sure it would hit 20,000 if I could actually bring myself to write it.

But OMG it's HARD.

I should have begged someone to write with me.

Blah. So how is everyone else doing in the writing department at the moment?

I'm in the same boat, I have 10k and most of it is not-fic. (Which is scary, actually, how do I have 10k of mostly notes? And yet I'm still worried mine will be too short.) And I'm sorely lacking in motivation too. WRITING IS HARD. WHY CAN'T FICS JUST WRITE THEMSELVES? D:

If you need another cheerleader, though, I volunteer! (Not that I'll be helpful at all, but I can babble at you and you might be magically inspired? IDK.)

RIGHT? Why don't the ideas just like...type themselves while we sleep? Dream-writing or something. That'd make life EASY.

I'm more worried that I have NO PLOT other than "Bob, Brendon, and Spencer get together" Why I decided to write a slave!fic BBB is beyond me. /o\

I am all for more cheerleading! We'll cheerlead each other! (I'm not very good at it either. I say YAY and YOU ARE AWESOME and LOVE a lot lol)

[auctorial.livejournal.com]

I really don't have a plot either, apart from ANGST and then yay Frank/Gerard. Oh, and half of bandom plays the viola. I really have no idea what I was thinking when I decided to write this. /o\

My email's auctorial69@gmail.com, if you want to vent about your fic or link me to a googledoc or whatever. <3

[bootson.livejournal.com]

I am intrigued by the viola. Viola and angst - that's why you decided to write it! ;)

Ooooh. You may regret giving me your email. I'm going to poke at you and link you to things all the time now ;) You rock! <3

I have 2k done, on a story that I project will hit at least 40k. Yeah, wave 1 isn't happening for me.

(o hai I friended you because I can't stop reading your Brendon-walking-in-the-rain story over and over. :)

[bootson.livejournal.com]

Oooh. 40K. That's...massive. And super impressive!

Maybe I'll bump this to wave 2 and do make myself do what I planned for that just randomly.

Also yay! I saw that you friended me but I never know if people actually want me to friend them back or they just want to watch the fic. I'm gonna friend you. You seem awesome. :) (Also, I'm glad you like that!)

[theletterelle.livejournal.com]

I am awesome! And so are you! :D

I will add you to my bandom filter-- I have lots of friends who aren't into bandom, and I don't like them to see me being all squeemo.

I totally want bandom friends! I have 3, and 2 of them never comment.

Also, I have a fic comm, fic_carousel, which has a grand total of one fic. I have not been productive this spring. :)

[bootson.livejournal.com]

haha I don't even care if my friends see me being all crazy!fangirl on LJ anymore. Most of my flist were around when I was going nutzo over Pinto fandom anyway. They're used to it lol I just try not to let it bleed over into FB.

Yay bandom friends! I don't have many either, but the ones I have are awesome.

Ooooh. I might have to add that. See this WAS my fic journal, right? Then it took over because I'm too lazy to switch accounts, like, ever. ;)

[dr-jasley.livejournal.com]

Yeah

man I totally understand that.

My 20k is sitting at 6.6k right at this moment and I just need time to sit and progress. Luckily it's not not fic. Plus it hopefully helps that I've had the idea floating about for awhile.

But yeah....MAN TWOISH WEEKS TO GET 15k*tris to buckle down*

and dude what ever you decide I'll be cheering you on...*RA RA RA...shakes pom poms*

[bootson.livejournal.com]

That definitely helps. I think another one of my issues is that it's a sequel but I'm trying to make it stand alone and it's annoying me because I end up with 5 paragraphs of "Spencer is a giant headcase, let me tell you why!" then two lines of dialogue. lol

YOU CAN DO IT! I have total faith in your awesomeness.

Thanks, bb! pom poms always help! xD

[dr-jasley.livejournal.com]

...I do understand that.

Mine is more or less a prequel...and dude I broke 7.2k before work today and finally my first line of spoken dialogue has occurred. So *shrugs* what is this dialogue you speak of :)??

and I have faith that you can finish your story

*throws in awesome cheers backed my rock music in the background....everyone likes Queen right?*

[bootson.livejournal.com]

Psh. Dialogue is totally irrelevant anyway. ;)

I hit just over 8k tonight (and that's taking OUT all the not fic parts) so I'm a little more optimistic. (Plus, you guys are awesome and make me feel much less ZOMGWTF :p )

Ooooh. Queen. I'm totally breaking out the Queen now. And throwing confetti for your also dialogue-challenged fic. *confetti dance*

[dr-jasley.livejournal.com]

Yep:)

dude YAY for hitting 8k(I hope to get past that tomorrow)(and you need to feel less ZOMGWTF...because you are awesome...an awesome thing made of awesomeness)

QUEEN is super nifty....*dances in the confetti with you*

I am totally about five seconds away from pulling out. Unless the HBB one about Mikey and his snuff kink explodes sometimes in the next week.

The Pathology AU will totally have to wait until Wave 2 I think. IDK, IDK.

/o\

[bootson.livejournal.com]

I could totally see that blowing up bc you're so excited about it. But then what will you do for HBB??

You can totally make it happen though! I've seen you finish stuff in crazier time constraints than this! This weekend I'll totally be around and let you babble at me and I'll cheer and maybe it will help?
