Anyone sweating over the upcoming SA3/anthology deadline? (GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!)

[erdesque]

OH GOD, I'M PROCRASTINATING TERRIBLY. And I stayed up late reading a wonderful fic and I'm still reading it and my eyes hurt a bit and I stepped on my glasses but that's okay because I had a spare pair and— *breathes*

Yes, I have everything under control, why do you ask?

[navaan]

Yes? XP

[navaan]

Oh my god! *hugs* Stressing about glasses and deadline at the same time!!!

It's going to be fine though!! You can do it. Let's all challenge our inner Avenger and get this done.

[faite]

OH MAN. DON'T WORRY, JUST TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND WORK AND YOU GOT THIS!!!

I had a more ambitious idea for the anthology at first, but unfortunately I have to downsize it because of other obligations :(

[faite]

*cheers you on*

You'll be free from the anthology by the end of the week, and then you'll get thrown into MORE FIC WRITING HELL!

[laireshi]

LALA DEADLINE WHAT DEADLINE LALALALALA

[navaan]

Thanks! :)

You mean I will throw myself into the "WRITE MORE EPICS" kind of fic writing hell because I like it this way, right?

[sineala]

I JUST FINISHED MY DRAFT!

It's... twice as long as I said it was gonna be. Uh. Ten thousand words is okay, right?

(It needs a beta and a title. Ugh. I hate titles.)

I have seen WIPs of the art that will be accompanying it and it is GORGEOUS and now I am hoping the fic does the art justice.)

[navaan]

Yes, congrats for finishing your draft and getting art drafts. :D I'm sure it'll be great.

Title.... >.< Oh no! There needs to be one, right?

[navaan]

Come on! It's just one deadline. That doesn't scare you!

[sineala]

Thank you! Titles are THE WORST, though.

[navaan]

Yes, they are. This glorious feeling that something is finished... and then you realize you can't just name it "RANDOM FIC".

[erdesque]

*hugs back* I did laugh when it happened, though. And I needed to replace the frames anyway, so hopefully I can find something I like. :)

THANK YOU!

[erdesque]

THANK YOU!

And same, I'm still considering ditching my one idea and do something really simple. I thought I would have more time, but I miscalculated how many things I could handle at the same time. :')

[navaan]

For all fic writers on here, there is a Fic Positivity Feedback Meme going on right now, if you want to get a little boost. Of course, everyone can leave comments. :)

Speaking of SDCC. We didn't have a thread for all the Infinity Wars related announcements! So what are everyone's thoughts on/feels about that?

[conjureupasmile]

Greetings old and new friends :) I dragged my feet getting over to DreamWidth once Imzy closed down, but I'm here now.

I saw that an anon had asked sabrecmc on Tumblr about (who I'm supposing was) me, so I figured that A's waited long enough to start contributing here. Just a quick life update - Babysmile has arrived healthy and happy. It's crazy to think that I joined Imzy was I was only 8 weeks Prego and now she's here and almost a month old. Anyway, life is super chaotic trying to figure out how to be a parent and keeping this tiny human alive.

Anyway! Hi, folks! It's good to be back :)

[neurotoxia]

re: IW, I think I did mostly incoherent screaming about Steve's beard...yep, I'm pretty sure that was about 90% of what I took away from it. Also, I'm happy Rhodey's in it.

[neurotoxia]

Welcome back!

Happy to hear the baby arrived healthy - congratulations! And good luck with the parenting :)

[eggums]

Hello~

I'm just introducing myself. I haven't been on a platform like this in ages. In fact I vaguely remember when Dreamwidth started up, huh.

Anyway, I write... occasionally. I used to write for- well, let's not go that far back. But the last stuff I really wrote for was Batman but specifically the Robins (More specifically Jason and Tim) That stuff is over on Tumblr over here. Warning: unfinished fics

Lately I've tried my hand at Stony because I very much enjoy the fics.
Right now I've only got the one up which is a fanfic of a fanfic author, hah!
We Can (Work From Home) over on AO3.

I'm currently working on another which... at the moment is clocking in at 10k words.
I'm... having some difficulty but that's to be expected. I'm trying to write a big buffer to post in chapters in case I start to flag (sadly something that happens a lot to me).

It's a what-if fic if Howard managed to find Steve in 1990 when Tony was 19. If you'd like to check it out while I'm still working out kinks- er... uh, issues, well, that can be arranged. :)

Nice to meet y'all.

By the way, I can also be found on Discord at Egglatorian #1109

[faite]

YAY!! (And I agree, titles truly are the worst.)

[faite]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

[cr3v]

Man, SDCC was a whirlwind to follow, even online. Everyone managed to grab your Tony with Helmet, Red She-Hulk, Bucky Cap Funko pops :D?

If you can't get em at Gamestop and Walgreens, there's Davey Boys Toys (Shipping is steeeeeep unless you're in 'Straya though. Ebay might be cheaper.)

[navaan]

Hi and welcome to DW!

And congratulations!!! :D

[navaan]

Haha, the Robins. Funnily enough, I think I write mostly the two other Robins when I write Batman related things these days. XD

I'm trying to write a big buffer to post in chapters in case I start to flag (sadly something that happens a lot to me).

Don't be discourage. It happens. :P I used to not to be able to finish anything longer than 10k, because my interest started to wander before I finished. It was a bit of a learning process and it can be frustrating, but don't ever give up.

That sounds like a neat premise for a fic! Good luck with working on it!

[navaan]

I squeed about Rhodey! I would have been so sad if he hadn't been in it.

[neurotoxia]

He's one of my faves in the MCU, it would have been a shame to see him left out!

[eggums]

Thank you! I hope it will be interesting
:)

Ah ha, you wrote for Dick & Damien?
I stopped writing for Jaytim when the whole new 52 came out

Ah well, ill keep writing for stony then: p
