I may have just gone and done more work on my AU and then come back to answer this poll JUST so I could tick a less depressing ticky box.

As always, if you have any questions about anything, please ask! We're happy to help if we can!

If you are in need of a quick breather, COME PLAY at the Alternate Universe Play Day post! It opens around noon today, Chicago time, and be live for 24 hours. Hurray AUs! :D

I had REALLY hoped to be back down to Orange today, but there is soooo much still to do. Gah.

The best news is Langoustini is finished and looks great. The good news is Dief has a head, so he 'only' needs a body, legs, paws, and a tail. The bad news is the huge pile of things yet to be done. I'd THOUGHT I was further along than this, somehow, but I'm totally not. Doh. :(

Still, I LOVE having made these guys. It's been a fantastic learning experience. :)

Okay, yeah, a week is snug to finish Dief, the photos and the story. Very snug. But you are a brilliant and determined fangirl! \o/

Also, just in case the planets are not aligned in your favor, you know we're gonna love what you do even if it's not quite exactly precisely on time. We'll think of it as merely an extension of the festivities. :D

Fic is in the hands of three trustworthy betas at the moment. I know it needs work, so there's going to be a bit of scrambling next week to get things tweaked and fixed and polished up by Sept. 1, but for now I am taking a breather and doing my "turning my back and not thinking about it" routine that I always do to help me get a fresh perspective. That generally is enough to get things sorted out, though this time having some help on a story this long and with as much going as it does is quite the relief. Oi.

The last moment of the final deadline is 11:59pm Sept 1st, in the Baker Island time zone (GMT -12).

*clings to that*

And thank you! The encouragement helps! Also, I just remembered that the teaser I posted before was in screenplay format instead of story, so that should speed things along. Knock wood. (Just dialogue? I can do just dialogue. *g*)

I'm so glad you found betas! Hopefully smoothing out the final draft will be a breeze!

We just might be too "out there" after finishing our Big Bang fic this weekend to push forward on our AU in time to finish it for the challenge deadline. *grimaces*
