Welcome to the first checkpoint! If you participated lat year, this will look eerily familiar. These aren't mandatory so if you want to skip it that's fine. And if you haven't started yet please don't panic, you still have plenty of time. :DHere is how the checkpoint will work. We are keeping a list of everyone who has signed up and what they are ( Read more... )

Creator: DesireeArmfeldt
Fandom: Due South
Current Fic Word Count/Podfic or Vid length/rough percentage of Art created: All three podfics drafted! Short #1 has been beta-ed but not edited yet; Short #2 has been alpha-ed is in the process of being edited up to beta-worthiness; Modest Proposal has been sent off to beta. (Many thanks to malnpudl for doing all this beta-ing!)
Character/Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski
What I Like About the Fanwork so far: I have really been enjoying reading Resonant's text. I'm particularly pleased with how several of the scenes came out, including one of the sex scenes (which are still a struggle for me in general, so I'm especially happy with that one).
What’s driving me nuts about the Fanwork so far: The bits where characters interrupt each other, which work great on the page, and would make fine theater, but are hard to read with a single reader. Scenes with several secondary characters; in general, I'd like to have more distinctive voices for the secondary characters than I've managed so far, but I haven't decided whether it bothers me enough to completely re-do those scenes. And the fact that I recorded the draft of Modest Proposal over several months, leading to main-character voice-drift.
Anything Else: Front-loading this project like crazy because I need to be pretty much finalized by the first-draft deadline, since that's about the time that my hobby-time gets swallowed by non-fandom-related project. And because I'll be traveling a bunch this summer.

That's fantastic! It sounds like you're in great shape, even if your free time disappears on you. =)
