Tell us about the fic(s) you'll be working on this month. What excites you about them? What's going to be tough? What made you pick the fic(s) that you did?

Going to a doctor's appointment in a few minutes, but I'll get back to editing Chapter 5 of my Big Bang once I come back. I did email the rough draft of my whole fic to the mod, so I'm waiting for my assigned posting date.

I'm having a lot of mixed feelings over my Big Bang. Excited that most likely sometime this month I'll finally finish editing and get to post the story, but I'm dreading over how much I'll have to edit and if I'll be able to get through polishing it before my assigned posting date. I'm more optimistic over getting it posted, though!

Five words about my goal fic: POLITICS AND ROMANCE, TIS HARD! (I say that too many times now, lol).

Aw, good luck w/finishing up your big bang! That'll be super exciting!!

[bay_alexison]

Thanks! Really can't wait until I finally finish it!

I've had all sorts of people demand a later posting date with their final draft submissions, but as you turned yours in on time and were willing to post whenever: do you need more than one week for editing? You've always worked hard and participated well each round, so I'm happy to accommodate you.

[bay_alexison]

Thanks for offering to accommodate me. Didn't want to ask as I know you're overwhelmed with answering other participants' concerns and wrapping up this round of Big Bang, so I'm willing to settle whatever date you'll assign me. Since you asked though, yes I'll need more than one week for editing.

Part of the problem is Beta A is a bit overwhelmed with school and work lately. I told her if she can't handle betaing anymore that's fine, but she told me she's still willing to get through as much as she can. We already settled on a date when I should expect her to finish looking through the whole fic, so hopefully that'll work out.

No worries, I'll try to give you enough time to get it sorted. ♥
