BigBang progress
I ... kinda feel guilty about posting this, but ...
Current progress on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
sgabigbang fic:
It is probably worth noting that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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 thensga_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.

Move along. Nothing to see here.

Because I'm on a Mac, though, anything in your file that isn't ASCII-128 (including smart quotes and the like) *might* have to be find-and-replaced because there's no telling what's going to happen to it when the file gets translated between platforms. I accept this as the price of having a Mac, though. *g*

I'm sort of alarmed at how fast this is going. It's starting to worry me that the thing is going to turn out to be 150,000 words long or something.

You forgot to mention that it also means that our brainstorming sessions almost always fall late at night for one of us! (And then people can make their own guesses about what that means for the story... *g*)
Seeing the little "41%" up there made me LAUGH. I hadn't actually realized it was that much, percentage-wise!
And then I spazzed a little, because HAHAHA the counter only measures up to the minimum challenge goal, and has no idea how much is actually left of the story...! Eep.

So, curious minds want to know - what prompt inspired you both? Was it a mutual decision or just a lot of hashing out/trying to work with something that you both wanted?

"Canon characters crossing into an AU" was what we jumped on. We tossed around some ideas for AUs and then almost immediately hit on one that we both liked ... and we were off and running!

I'm better now though.
How's the word count going now?

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.
no subject
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).
