"Is there anybody there," said the traveller?
Artist sign-ups are now closed. Thanks to everyone who signed up, and who promoted it to their friends-lists. You did the modly blood-pressure a world of good. If you have signed up, as a writer or artist, but haven't joined the comm, please do so. Everyone should have had an invite (go to your invites page to check). If you haven't had one, please let us know. If you've had one but haven't accepted, please do so! There will be some friends-locked posts that you won't be able to see otherwise.
How is everyone? I'm guessing that around this time, you roughly fall into four groups of people:
1. Those of you who have already submitted a complete first draft, and are now sitting back, relaxing and tinkering with just a few last details. Smug so-and-sos.
2. Those of you who submitted a nearly complete first draft a few weeks ago, and are finishing a first full draft for submission on 30th April. You've still got a fortnight, guys. Keep working, and try not to panic.
3. Those of you who submitted a nearly complete first draft yesterday, and are just catching your breath before ploughing on to the finish. Well done! You can do it!
4. Those of you who sent us a nowhere-near-complete first draft, got a modly email in reply, and should have sent us a nearly complete first draft yesterday, but didn't. You know who you are. We know who you are. There won't be any naming and shaming, but there might be some emails winging their way to you soon.
If you're in the last group and haven't already been in touch, please do so. We don't want anyone to miss out through lack of communication, so talk to us, people!
Writers: The next important date for your diary is 30th April, at which point we will need a complete first draft to send to artists. It doesn't need to have been beta'd, but it needs to be as much as you can make it, to give the artists all the help they can get.
Artists: The match-up process has begun, but will take a week or so. Please be patient with us, and start sharpening your pencils in anticipation.
As ever, questions or queries, problems and complaints can be sent to the mods in comments or on tardis.bigbang[at]gmail.com.
