2015 KuroFai Olympics - 11th Hour Posting Schedule Revision

[cloverfield]

Hello Olympians! The finish line is well and truly in sight now- and at this late date, I'm hoping that this is the last schedule adjustment we'll need to have.

Due to unforeseen circumstances, odditea has unfortunately had to drop out from Team Sci Fi; luckily, we have farenmaddox , a veteran from previous Olympics, stepping in for the prompt 'Daddy Daycare'. As such, I've shuffled the schedule a little to reflect this. For most of you, your posting date is unchanged, but please have a look all the same; now's your last chance to let me know of any schedule conflicts.



We're also running a bit thin on the ground when it comes to pinch-hitters, and because the time is really getting tight, it's not going to be easy to find one if you need to drop out. As such, I've made the executive decision that, if you cannot finish your fic by your posting date, you will need to post it up unfinished and accept the penalty accordingly. It's not the end of the world if you can't finish your fic, I promise you, but I hope that everyone here can finish on time. Remember, if you need help, please don't hesitate to ask me. I am more than happy to provide my services as beta for those who need it.

Finally, I'd like it if everyone could please check-in and let me know how you are going; even just a quick sentence to let us know you're still battling on. We're pushing on towards the finish line now, with the last few days of writing ticking over: let's keep it up and strive for victory!

p.s. if you haven't checked out KuroFai from Last Night, you're really missing out!

I've got most of the plot figured out and I'm 22 pages in and about to hit the climax. I see a busy weekend in my future BUT I'M GOING FOR IT!!

[cloverfield]

Good job! :Db

KEEP GOING YOU'RE ALMOST THERE :D

[notpotable]

*quiet wibbling in the distance*

[cloverfield]

Hey now, everything will be alright! Keep your chin up and buckle down, and you'll be just fine!

[zelinxia]

So you know how I set aside a day or two earlier this week for writing marathon? :D

LOL didn't work out. I was so tired and low on spoons I ended up needing to rest and not do much. Although half of this weekend and all of next week should be less hectic.

[cloverfield]

The best laid plans of mice and men, etc, I guess, but no worries! :D I know that you're gonna be fine :Db

[mikkeneko]

Everything's under control. I have a Plan!

[cloverfield]

Should we be worried? XD

[farenmaddox]

Aye, aye, captain! All aboard and full steam ahead!

I am great with my posting date, I have a plan, and I am Ready To Rock and Roll. Sorry that odditea can't be with us, but kinda excited about my fic all the same! *\o/*

[cloverfield]

*salutes* You look like you're all in order, carry on then! XD

It's sad they had to drop out, but hopefully they will vote! And I too am excited to see your fic :D

[farenmaddox]

ALSO 'HELLO TEAM SCI-FAI!' :D

I hope you're all having fun, I am totally ready to look a fic over as a beta reader if needed, so don't hesitate to drop me a note here or on Tumblr.

[aythli]

I am alive and chugging away!

[cloverfield]

Glad to hear it! The more of us that survive the better!

[thecicada]

Getting there, slowly but surely. 8000 words so far and I'm thinking it's going to be more like 12,000 or so. Gah, I'm liking my fic less and less the more I write it. Oh well. NO TURNING BACK NOW~

[cloverfield]

Hey now, you've done 8000 words, that's HEAPS of progress! And if you'd like a second opinion, I would be happy to provide one!

[thecicada]

Thanks so much, I will send you a PM when the first draft is done. It's so good to know people are willing to provide critiques and help in this fandom. Half of the motivation is just having you guys as an audience to write for~

[cloverfield]

Our fandom is a really lovely one! You can make a lot of friends, and people are always willing to help out. And I'm totally excited to help out!

[superyuui]

I'm about 1500 words in, having tentatively started a few days ago. I'm nearly finished with my final project (which is a few weeks late, itself, for reasons) so hopefully soon I will be able to really get stuck in. I'm hoping it'll be between 15,000 and 20,000 words. We'll see.

[cloverfield]

I hope everything goes well for you and that your project finishes smoothly! 1500 words is a great start! :Db

[animangod]

Life is gonna be a bit busy, what with going to DC for a Business conference mid remaining time, but there's always time for KuroFai writing.

Words>8000, or 17 pages done. Still have a lot more to go. (Fai being too adorable doesn't help any)

[cloverfield]

Best of luck with the real life stuff, and I hope inspiration strikes when you've got time to write! Wow, that's a lot! Colour me impressed :D

[animangod]

And now I can use an anime reference. "It's over 9000!"

[arisprite]

Good news is is that the first draft is finished and it's going to be fine on the posting date. I'm not sure what happened tho... it's 33,000 words. It got away from me. I have had a vacation, and it just kept going. Hopefully it's not too big to sustain. Anyway...
