Date: 2015-08-20 03:35 pm (UTC)We can try posting on the HBB tumblr and advertising for emergency betas, you can try posting in the help comm for some help?
There's also this site called Hemingway (http://www.hemingwayapp.com/) I just recently discovered thanks to tumblr - I haven't used it yet, but I'm going to this weekend to help me self-edit the last chunk of my fic. Maybe try that too!!

Date: 2015-08-21 07:17 pm (UTC)Can it be something wearing them down then? Ie. their view on a particular sensitive issue just can't be understood by the other person and they've tried or ignored it until now?
Or what do they disagree on ever, in general? Likes, dislikes, political/religious views, fundamental values, etc? Is there anything there you can build off of?
What about the Later upheaval you mentioned? Is it that something you can break apart in some way, do a little now and the rest later? Lay in pieces that come to a head in the Later?
Does something happen to one (or both of them) that would change them in some way, so that their reaction might not be OOC? (ie. character death, trauma, something).

Date: 2015-08-22 04:19 am (UTC)The story is a Star Wars AU - the SPN people in the SW 'verse. I'm doing polishing editing right now, all the technical stuff, but ya, if you're up for it and have time to skim it for characterization, that would be brilliant (altho seriously it's a novel and we're now less than a week away so seriously no worries if you can't, haha!!)
Like, I think I'm good? But just in case. I have a lot of anxiety before posting these Bangs. XD

Date: 2015-08-22 04:28 am (UTC)I think I can manage to fit it in around the other stuff. Wednesday's out, but since that's the deadline, we're good to go. It's not going to be deep, but you already have that covered, and I should definitely be able to tell you if someone's OOC.

Date: 2015-08-20 03:30 pm (UTC)Mine is luckily done writing buuuut it's sort of mess so I'm editing. Scratch that, I am PANIC editing. XD So ya, I'll be doing that all weekend.
I keep telling myself to breathe because it's complete, but I know the last quarter is literal trash (I KNOW IT) so I need to fix it!!

Date: 2015-08-20 10:32 pm (UTC)I'm so sorry - I'm going to have to drop out. My RSI has flared up quite badly and while I've been hoping that if I just rest and take the tablets, it would settle down so I'd be able to make progress, I've just been fooling myself.
I've let my artist know, but I'm so sorry for letting everyone down.

Date: 2015-08-22 04:25 am (UTC)I'm working out chapters right now, and I'm pretty sure I can end it where I want to without undue stress on anyone, especially me. Because I'm already at DefCon FRAAAAAAAAAK.

Date: 2015-08-21 06:07 pm (UTC)I'm so sorry to do this, particularly at this late stage, but I'm going to have to drop out of the challenge due to flare-ups from my Rheumatoid Arthritis. I've just dropped the mods an email but I wanted to mention it here, too just in case it doesn't come through.
I'm signed up for the Little Bang portion of the challenge.
Good luck to everyone participating and I'm looking forward to checking out your stories at the end of the month. :)

Date: 2015-08-26 03:54 am (UTC)omggggggbecause work was a killer and I got behind .... for the deadline, do we need to have it completely posted by then or if I'm missing the last couple chapters, can I post those at, say, 1am? (since normally I would post it to the collection with the first chapter and then keep adding). If it all needs to be there, that's cool. I'm just trying to stop panicking and make a plan!no subject
