BigBang progress

[sholio]

I ... kinda feel guilty about posting this, but ...

Current progress on sgabigbang fic:


It is probably worth noting that naye is in Sweden while I'm in Alaska, two time zones which are just about 180 degrees reversed, so we can, theoretically, write 24 hours a day.

In theory.

I'm sure this is going to slow down massively in the next few weeks, because I have freelance work that's due, and then sga_genficathon starts on March 31st (that is, that's the date when I start posting fics that have been submitted to me).

By the way, for anyone who's reading this who is writing for genficathon, if you can actually include your LJ/html coding in your final document (italics, etc), it makes my life SO MUCH EASIER. If you don't know how to do it, no big deal, I can code it myself (and on most of them, I have been). But if you do know how, and have the time to do it, please do! All I'll have to do is an easy copy and paste in that case, as opposed to an HTML export from my word processor and then a bunch of find-and-replace on weird characters in the file.

It just happened, I swear! If it's any consolation, I don't think we're anywhere near half done with this sucker. It's going to be LONG.

Haha... yeah, I was just a touch bitter yesterday because my brain couldn't wrap around a single thought process to even pick a prompt and here you guys were like a quarter of the way done ;)

I'm better now though.

How's the word count going now?

Er. We're up to about 20,000 words and still haven't hit what I think of as "the start of the plot" (the original idea that we had for what was going to happen).

I know it wouldn't be happening nearly as fast if we weren't collaborating. It's not just having two people writing; it's having someone who's equally interested to bounce ideas off of.

That's still pretty good, as it averages out to like 10,000 a piece. (Not jealous, not jealous, not jealous). Sounds like you guys are having a blast, which is the whole point I think.

The closest I've ever had to collaborative writing was a little e-mail roleplay one of my friends and I did, where we basically just split the characters involved. I think for the real, in-depth kind of scene/story writing you probably have to be on an even keel, at least in your interpretations of the characters/events though, right?

(And pretty Ronon icon, by the by. I don't think I've seen that one before today).
