I completed three Big Bangs in the last month or two, but I still have four left:

kinked,

ladiesbigbang,

scifibigbang and

hardmode. They're all due at the same time, at the end of August. I also have four essays to write (1,600 words each) and an exam to sit in Anglo-Saxon, and consequently a shitload of translation work to do, not to mention research.

So. A timetable! My essays are due on the 10th and the 17th of May. Two on each date. I don't remember exactly which is which, so I might have to rearrange this...

kinked: Get first draft done by 20th April.
Crime Fiction essay: Get first draft done by 25th April.
Women's Poetry essay: Get first draft done by 30th April.
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight essay: Get first draft done by 5th May.
Myth & Saga essay: Get first draft done by 10th May.

ladiesbigbang: Get first draft done by 15th June.

hardmode: Get first draft done by 1st July.

scifibigbang: Get first draft done by 15th August.

Obstacles: Anglo-Saxon exam, moving out of my flat, driving lessons, a summer job, my twenty-first birthday.

...Cheer me on? Ask questions about what I'm going to do, so I can enthuse at you and get myself enthusiastic? Poke me?

Current Mood: amused

I figure I should probably post a to-do list, mostly to focus myself for today's big writing push. Here goes:

scifibigbang - Need to finish plotting it out and begin the solid writing, though I've already done around 1000 words of it.

overlooked - Signed up to write a set based on Rhyme and Sachs in the Lincoln Rhyme Series. I hope to get the first one done today.

yearofhope - Time to start fresh and hope that nothing else happens to completely derail me.

I must also write a eulogy for my maternal grandfather, who died this last week. It needs to get emailed to my mom by tonight.

I'd like to finally finish His Wedding Ring in the Hey Arnold fandom, since it's already plotted out.

Today's plan is to spend 3-4 hours writing, in blocks of roughly 30 minutes each. I want to spend one of those blocks tackling the eulogy (two, if need be), and at least one block on each of the comms listed. It doesn't look like much, but for me, it feels like a lot right now.

Current Mood: flaily

elfin

Name: Kelli. Will also respond to Elf.
Writing Journal:

elfin is my everything journal. Fic is (mostly) tagged so it's easy to find. Everything's archived at

crazylittleelf on AO3.
Favorite writing tool: Scrivener.
Type of writing: Mostly fanfiction.
Main fandoms: Fringe, with a scattering of Gaiman-verse, Human Target, Criminal Minds, and Top Gear. In the Fringe fandom, I'm pretty enamored with writing AUs, which the show lends itself to so very well.
Favorite characters: The father/son dynamic between Peter and Walter Bishop is one of my favorite things about Fringe, especially because that dynamic is so screwed up. They are two of my favorite characters of all time. I'm also getting to be very fond of Guerrero on Human Target. As far as parings go, I like damn near anything. I like seeing possibilities that people come up with in terms of how and why certain characters would get involved with each other, so I don't really have OTPs. I do strongly appreciate teh hawt that is Peter/Olivia. ^^
Most difficult part of writing for me: Actually, physically writing things down. I tend to think scenes through in my head, get long strings of dialog, but I don't write them down as I go, so I can never really remember the whole thing. I'm trying to break myself of this by always having something to write on at hand.
Looking for: Like-minds and sympathetic ears. :D

I've signed up for

scifibigbang , and am eagerly looking forward to the next round of

kink_bingo .

(mods: wasn't sure how to tag Neil Gaiman, if there should be tags for each book or a general Gaiman tag. lemme know.)

shanaqui posted about this community just in time, I'd say. I was just starting to pull my head back out of the morass of what Life has been throwing at me, and buckle down into my writing again. So I'd like to say hello, and thanks to

shanaqui for helping to ensure I'll get back on track.

Name: Hope Oubliette / Kaelanti Cadeyrn
Normal journal:

hopeoubliette
Writing journal:

kaelanti (also

yearofhope for a personal challenge of mine that I'm restarting as of today)
Favourite writing tool: My computer. Pen/Pencil + paper just doesn't keep up as well.

Main fandoms: This is often changing, but my current main fandoms are Hey Arnold, Mass Effect (and 2), Weiß Kreuz, Gundam Wing, Ouran High School Host Club, and the Lincoln Rhyme series. There are definitely others.

Favourite characters/pairings:
- From Hey Arnold: (characters) Helga Pataki, Arnold | (pairings) Helga/Arnold and Gerald/Phoebe.
- From Mass Effect 1&2: (characters) Garrus Vakarian, Jeff (Joker) Moreau | (pairings) Shepard/Joker, Shepard/Garrus
- From Weiß Kreuz: (characters) Aya (Ran) Fujimiya, Nagi Naoe | (pairings) I don't really have an otp for this series.
- Gundam Wing: (character) Wufei Chang | (pairings) Duo/Wufei
- Ouran Host Club: (character) Kyouya Ootori | (pairings) Kyouya/Tamaki
- Lincoln Rhyme: (character) Lincoln Rhyme, Amelia Sachs, Thom Reston | (pairings) Rhyme/Sachs

I'd like to point out that I prefer to have a pretty open mind when it comes to pairings, and while the ones above are my definite favorites, I've found that a good author or artist can make me consider pairings I never really had before.

I like trying writing challenges, though I don't always finish them. I'm hoping that this community will give me a chance to finish them properly. I have a couple of promised-out fics still to do, as well as working on

scifibigbang and

overlooked, and I've recently created the writing challenge community

3x3, though I don't yet have a claim into it. I want to get some of my other things finished off before I work on it.

*whips off the mod hat*

Name: Nikki/

shanaqui.
Writing journal:

edenbound.
Main fandoms: Supernatural, Firefly, Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy X-2, Kingdom Hearts, The Dark is Rising, Merlin...
Favourite characters/pairings: Oh, god, too many to list. Dean is my favourite character in SPN, Simon is my favourite in Firefly, Seifer is probably my favourite in FFVIII, Gippal or Baralai in FFX-2, Axel in Kingdom Hearts, Bran in The Dark is Rising, Merlin in, well, Merlin...
Favourite writing tool: Write or Die desktop edition. It's seriously good at just kicking your ass into writing.

I'm mostly here for support doing Big Bangs. They're my addiction. I do the writing part due to utter lack of artistic skill.

Big Bangs I'm participating in:
-

au_bigbang: First draft complete. Supernatural AU, in which Dean is brought up by Ellen, is mute, and saves the world with hugs.
-

hardmode: Idea hatched. (Not open yet.) Final Fantasy X-2 cyberpunk AU, focusing on the Crimson Squad.
-

kinked: Pending idea. (Not signed up yet.) Supernatural Dean/Castiel fic, I think.
-

ladiesbigbang: Planned. (Not signed up yet.) Supernatural Dean/Cassie fic, in which Cassie kicks a lot of ass, mostly Dean's.
-

scifibigbang: Planning stage. Firefly apocalyptic fic, in which everything goes wrong.
-

sncross_bigbang: First draft complete. Supernatural AU/The Dark is Rising crossover, in which Will and Bran try to guide Dean, Sam and Castiel into not starting the apocalypse.
-

spn_j2_bigbang: Planning stage. Supernatural AU in which, at the end of S4, Dean is blinded.

I've also got claims at

centi_porn,

overlooked and

3x3.

Oh my god, how many tags am I going to need now...
