Het Big Bang Support Group

[http://users.livejournal.com/traycer_/]

Just a reminder that we still have the het_banghelp support group for authors, artists, beta readers, and cheerleaders to congregate and support each other as we work or way toward that ever-looming deadline. It's a members-only comm, f-locked to only those that have officially signed up as authors/artists and betas/cheerleaders, so you have to join it in order to participate. (We empty it out prior to each big bang.)

Last year we had special writing and enabling events, like Snippet Days and Block Writing events, and we'd like to continue in that tradition, but we need someone who can step up to the plate and take on that job. To quote irony_rocks from last year's rules of the comm:

The permanent schedule will be up shortly, but first, what I need is one special individual to step up to the plate, being ABSOLUTELY DILIGENT about following the scheduled (when it is established), and post these suckers up as the summer goes along. It is critical that this person be good with posting regularly and on time. I would appreciate the assist!

Anyone interested? :D


ETA: Here's a link to the entry that describes what we would like to see for each event.
