Valentines Check In!!!

[dietpunkfics.livejournal.com]

Hey guys! Valentine's Day is just over two weeks away, are you ready?

Just a couple things I want to touch base on.

If you signed up: Please let me know how things are going by leaving a comment! This is very important, I need to have an idea of how everyone's doing! Even if you haven't started, let me know, and if you don't have a prompt in mind, maybe we can get some brainstorming done to fix that OR you can always check the prompts list again!

Please remember that during sign up, I asked that you contribute a fic of at least 1k! I don't want it to come posting time and you go, Oh, I didn't agree to that. Shorter fics are reserved for last minute contributors. If you have problems making your fic that long (and trust me, 1k isn't that long...) let me know now.

If you need a beta: Please let me know now, and I can either take care of it for you OR find someone to take care of it. Betas are not required - I just don't want people panicking at the last minute if they need one.

I've had a couple questions regarding when to post: I'll do an opening post at Midnight EST to kick things off. You can either post in your journal and link back, or post here! I don't mind. We can talk about cross-posting to other comms as the date draws closer, k?

If you have any more questions, please let me know below.

Howdy! Got my plot, just haven't written it out yet--haven't had the time. I'm hoping to his next weekend.

[dietpunkfics.livejournal.com]

Like I said, you've got over two weeks. I'm only cracking the whip in 2 weeks. :)

[taylorgibbs.livejournal.com]

grin :) You did ask for check in and check in I did ;)

[hawk-soaring.livejournal.com]

Haven't a clue what to write....... prompts?

[dietpunkfics.livejournal.com]

Thank you for reminding me! I went ahead and edited the post to link back to the prompts page :)

[hawk-soaring.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :)

[sinfulslasher]

Seriously. No clue what to write? A story, Hawk. A story. *shakes head sadly*

[hawk-soaring.livejournal.com]

Well, that 'splains it, Lucy!

[ferneberga.livejournal.com]

I haz the fan art in my head, will be ready when you call Boss

[dietpunkfics.livejournal.com]

Ok, cool. I'll bug ya the last week then ;)

[ferneberga.livejournal.com]

That would be the most practical :)

[kesterpan.livejournal.com]

Got about 2800 words... still have some changes to make, but will be ready soon. :)

[dietpunkfics.livejournal.com]

SWEET! That's great to hear!

[blumvale.livejournal.com]

well I started and have a pretty good idea in my head. :) so that's something

[dietpunkfics.livejournal.com]

Awesome, thanks for letting me know!

[sunsaralyn.livejournal.com]

Working on it. Will definitely have at least 1k words by the 14th. Also, remember that we did discuss putting it over on AO3 and linking here. Know you mentioned journals, but I don't post fic on my journal. Anyway, 'on my way, boss'. :)

[dietpunkfics.livejournal.com]

Yep, I know. You gets a pass on that. :D

[slashscribe.livejournal.com]

I haven't started and I have no ideas. :)

[slashscribe.livejournal.com]

(but I always pull through at the last minute)

[dietpunkfics.livejournal.com]

yeah, and I know I'll be text-pestering you the whole time *snickers*.

[taylorgibbs.livejournal.com]

You better ;)

[this-years-me.livejournal.com]

Art is finished! As for fic I am hoping to get it done by the end of this week, my muse has gone awol atm... I blame work and Torchwood lol!

However have a thorough idea sketched out so it shouldn't take too long!

[dietpunkfics.livejournal.com]

*cracks whip*

Ok, leave Jack and Ianto alone. Time to play with our boys. *g*

Glad to hear you at least have a starting point.

[this-years-me.livejournal.com]

awww cant I play with both lots? lol!

Don't worry Torchwood is actually inspiring a LOT of smutty goodness! ;D

Rough draft should be done by friday, edit 1 on saturday and edit 2 on sunday!

[lin71.livejournal.com]

You already know I'm working on it! Got about 2K written, no idea how long it's gonna get but I'll be done with it by the end of this week.

Or so I hope anyway *g*

[dietpunkfics.livejournal.com]

:P yep, but I need to do an official check in...

[sinfulslasher]

Ahahaha. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Yeah. Um. Right. I'll, uh, I'll see about throwing something together in time for Val Day. *side-eyes Muses*

If I do get something written, trust me, it'll be longer than 1K. *despairs at inability to write drabbles* And no need for a beta. :)

I could use more time though. Is it okay to post the fic in May? *ducks and runs*

[dietpunkfics.livejournal.com]

That's why I said *if* you need a beta. Some people still use them, ya know? :P

And didn't you sign up? *raises eyebrow* I do believe that means you need to get hopping, missy. Just slide the muses some bourbon and tear their pants off.

Plus. More gabby fic = good.

Posting in May? Ummmm NO. Not for Valentines day fic, anyways. Other fics? Oh, yeah!

[sinfulslasher]

Well, I also use a beta, missy, sometimes two, but I don't need help finding one. So nyah. :P

And yes, I did sign up. But considering my RL right now, and the way my Muses are all over the place (GibbsMuse still isn't talking to me after what your prompt made me make him do! *g*), I have not a single romantic thought in my noogin'. So... *shrugs*

And, um, no, thanks, I don't write gabby fic. :P If you want new fic written by Gaby...well, there are still a few prompts waiting to be filled the next couple days... Hee!

And I'm sure there's a special Valentine's Day celebrated in Outer Mongolia on the 23rd of May. Just so you know! *nodnod*

[dietpunkfics.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah yeah. I commented back when I was half asleep. Sorry about the name thing.

:P

I get it with real life and stuff. Trust me. I get it.

But still.... *crosses fingers* I gotta give you some shit. Its how I show I care.

[magdarko.livejournal.com]

We-e-e-ll...

I don't have anything typed, but I have about half written down and the rest is all finished in my head. I don't know if I'll be done in time for a beta to get a decent crack at it, though. *cringes*

There will be (decent-sized) fic come the 14th.

[dietpunkfics.livejournal.com]

Re: the beta thing - I clarified the post to address that :) also, if it comes down to it being Monday night, and you want on, I'm normally up fairly late so you can shoot me a message. Of course, id prefer that things don't work out that way, but.... you get my drift.

Thanks for checking in!

[chicklet-girl.livejournal.com]

I have a couple of paragraphs and a mental outline. See y'all in two weeks! :-)

[dietpunkfics.livejournal.com]

Great, thanks for checking in!

[the_proofreader]

Fic's heading for 7k and I still have to write the smut. *heh* It'll be done and ready to post by the 14th.

[dietpunkfics.livejournal.com]

*beams*

Ya know, I do believe it's my modly duty to remind you I'm available for sanity reads. *adjusts tin hat*

[the_proofreader]

You know, I do believe you're right on that! lol I'll be sending it your way as soon as it's done for a decent sanity read through - it's a little angsty but not too much, although that's Gibbs' POV, and Tony's going *ahem* in the background, so if I have to write his POV version too, that's going to be angstier. But there will be smut and a happy ending so, yanno, not too bad! lol

[dietpunkfics.livejournal.com]

*muppet!flails*

[iamwintermute]

Working on it! hope to get it done by next week :)

[rose-malmaison.livejournal.com]
