reversebang etc

Apparently I misunderstood the X-Men Reversebang schedule -- and it sounds like I'm not the only one, since they just posted a clarification that while there's a mandatory author check-in on May 21, the rough draft itself isn't due until June 20. THANK JEBUS. Seriously, writing this thing has been like pulling teeth, and while I've been planning on

idk, I'm much more open with sharing my WsiP (frequently I'll start a googledoc and immediately share it with littledust, if I'm not already copying and pasting half the fic to her in GChat), but I would say ask your artist? I asked mine right up front and she made it very clear that she'd be happy to supply more art based on what I was doing, but the writing portion was completely in my hands and it was up to me what I shared with her and when I shared it. I've heard of other people emailing their artists constantly and a couple other who, like me, were basically told to have fun and let their artist know if they need anything

That deadline was super not clear. I read those instructions a bunch. Just sayin'. Also, yeah, some people's processes are kind of intense. For me, my "outline" is...well, sometimes at the bottom of the doc I'll have a list of SCENES TO WRITE, which tend to be, like, "confrontation w/Emma" or "and then sex" or, from current RBB doc, "-alone alone alone, going crazy. meets Piotr, can't hear him in metal form. fuckses." So, yeah. Sitting down and writing words, basically. Research is that thing that happens where I decide I really need to know what kind of helicopter they'd be in and then spend the next hour trawling Wikipedia.

Fandom is weird. I mostly just don't talk to anyone and write/vid in a room by myself and then post it and then continue not talking to anyone. Um.

I highly support your working on Queen's Gambit. I missed that fic so much during the hiatus.

Honestly, I have a beta who I show snippets to every once in a while for feedback on what direction to take, but I haven't spoken to my artist since I claimed the art from her. All she asked was that she read the fic after I finished it. It's whatever the two of you want.

I miss it when it's on hiatus too! Um. Oops.

Yeah, I mostly just worry about how I don't know how to collaborate with people. Urg.
