And also!

I should really be in bed, but -- our rough draft of the Big Bang story is DONE DONE DONE, clocking in at about 87,000 words (as my word processor counts them). This means we've still got a week for revisions before I'm leaving on an internet-free vacation, which is a relief; I had been feeling guilty about leaving poor [livejournal.com profile] naye with the entire job of revision/correction, so this way I'll be able to help with that process, and we should have a nice clean version to send to our artist (whoever they may be).

[livejournal.com profile] naye and I agree that our original plan -- which was to make Big Bang easier on ourselves by co-writing so that each of us would only have to write 20K words -- has suffered massive, epic fail. Oops.

And also - DONE!!!

This was the best epic fail EVER. ♥

Thank you~! "Triumphant epic fail" never sounded so right. *g*

Right now I'm just stunned and pleased that we didn't crash and burn horribly. XD It's hilarious and sad, because it's not like I've never written a long fanfic before, but if one isn't working, I can just abandon it ... which wasn't an option here, at least not without pulling out of Big Bang. But ... DONE!

Thank you! Still over a month to go before the site goes live...

Hang on, so was that 20k each? 20+20= not 87,000. Overstimulated or what :D

Whee! I can't wait until it can *be* read.

Thank you! I imagine that between our two journals, you've certainly heard enough about it by now. *g*

[identity profile] greyias.livejournal.com 2008-07-05 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Woohoo! The finish line!

And, 20 + 20 ≠ 87? Epic Fail FTW!

It is, indeed, epic. *g* I can only imagine how long it would have been if we hadn't ended up cutting out a huge chunk of the intended plot along the way. We'd still be writing, that's for sure...

Holy crap. You guys are insane. (Wait, everyone who participates is big Bang is basically insane, in my book...)

*g* Believe me, we totally agree! I'm still amazed that we got this thing done in time.
