Hey all! It's been a little while since sign-ups and we wanted to check in and see how things are going with you. This check-in isn't mandatory - we just want to get a feel for where everyone is at.

Artists: hang out and relax, we'll come to you soon! ;D

Authors: Fill out the polls below and go ahead and leave a comment to let us know how things are going! Don't forget that if you're stumped about your plot bunnies, we have this post. Feel free to rant, sigh, flail, shout, squee, and cheer on your fellow Bangers. Plus, if you haven't check it out already, we have that support comm where you can rant, sigh, flail, shout, squee and cheer on your fellow Bangers on a regular basis. ;)

Reminder that Artist, Beta, and Cheerleader sign-ups are still open, so feel free to pass the word along! The pimpin' post is here. And, big reminder that the Mandatory Check-in for all Authors is July 15th  (more info about that one can be found in our FAQ post, here)

I have mostly spent the last few weeks prepping for the back surgery I had three days ago but I seem to be doing okay and I think as soon as my abdominal sutures heal a bit more (so, like a week) it'll be more comfortable writing for long periods so I can make more progress on both of these fics as well as the other big bang I'm in. So I'm pretty optimistic about things!

The words are coming out hard this year, and real life keeps throwing me wrenches. What's up with that, anyway? I have a feeling this is going to be my hardest year.

I'm writing by hand, but I typed up everything I have so far to get an estimated word count. It turns out that I'm getting to the halfway point for minimum word count. It is all in pieces and in need of a lot of editing though. It makes me confident that I can actually do this!

This be hard, mostly because I do feel busier than I ever have and my muse has just really left for parts unknown so I'm writing through sheer grit and determination.

I haven't started yet but I am 5k away from finishing my extreme big bang (so I've written 95k words of that) and I want that finished so I can get it out of my headspace and then start on the next.

I'm a teacher and this term is CRAZY. I am planning on penciling in (heh)some writing time on the plane ride during my 2 week break in a few weeks' time. I'm eager to start but need to re-watch/re-read to get some inspo for my chosen fandom!

I'm also a teacher and am wrapping up the school year. I FEEL YOUR PAIN.

I have a really incredible outline that I hammered out, my beta ripped apart, and then I hammered back together. It's amazing. That should make me feel better about writing but instead I am terrified that I have created an outline for too long of a project for me to complete in time. I'm going to have to be on my A game.

I've got this, right?!

You've got this!!! Us teacher types need to stick together!!!! Side note: what do you teach?

Teachers for the fandom and real world win! I teach middle school literature and math! It's the best job in the entire world, and I love IT! All the exclamation points!

What about you?

I teach English Lit from 7-12 in the land down under. I have some exclamation points but not as many as you!! Just had the last set of report cards written and the first parent teacher night done and dusted. My fandom life suffers so much around this time...it's good to find someone who can empathise!

My day job and kiddos keep me pretty busy. Thank goodness I've had this plot bunny forever and have been working on it in bits and pieces. That's the only way I have close to 10K words now. I really want to do the Big Bang. Here's hoping I can get there and the story works.

I'm thinking I'm going to have to change my claim. I had intended to marathon the MCU movies them to prep, but I keep not having time. I'll have to switch to something I know better, I think. Something that doesn't require research. Because with my schedule, fitting in one movie is difficult, let alone several.

Thanks! Do I just ask a mod, or?

I can switch in this thread, right? Because I'm switching to Hetalia, America/Belarus, since I know it well enough, and this big bang is a gift for my friend who loves them. Here's hoping the second time is a charm, since I had to bail last time ♥
