I may need a one- or two-day extension. My fic is in two parts of just under 6,000 words each. I got Part 1 back from my beta today with some corrections and recommendations for changes, which I'm in the process of incorporating into my master draft. Part 2 is going out for her review sometime later today.

In any case, if I spend the weekend "tweaking and polishing", I should be able to have the "finished product" to you either tomorrow or Sunday (if that's okay!).

So sorry for taking it down to the wire in regard to the deadline! Mea culpa!

Extension granted. Thank you for letting me know about the two parter, so I can post them separately without LJ Fail. (I am so known for LJ cut Fail.)

Everything's fine! Take your time.

Many thanks bonnyblondelass November 20 2009, 20:54:45 UTC

I don't know that anyone has actually said this yet, 'Drea, but THANK YOU for all the work you have put into creating and administering this exchange. I am really excited to see all the stories as they are posted - the wealth of talent in the POTC communities is incredible. We are lucky to have someone as patient and organized as you involved.

Again, much appreciation for all the effort!

Seconded!

You're very welcome! I'm an editor and a Stage Manager IRL so this stuff is right up my alley! Thank you for participating.

There are so many good stories for this!

I finally got my computer working and Im currently reinstalling Word so I can work on the story. I should have it finished sometime this week.

*kicks computer for the bad timing*

If it happens again - god forbid - you can always use Google Docs. But don't worry, take your time. Any realistic ETAs rather than "sometime this week"? (Asked only because I spend most of my days away from a computer and don't want to kill my gmail...)

barbossamonkey November 21 2009, 05:23:23 UTC

I have Word installed now but its late here. I plan on working on it tomorrow afternoon. So maybe, two or three days if nothing comes up?

placeofinsanity November 21 2009, 06:16:42 UTC

Great. I'll be sure to check back often then. :D

veronica_rich November 21 2009, 06:59:21 UTC

I had already requested an extension to Sunday. I sure hope to be done by then. I will DEFINITELY have it in to you before Thanksgiving (mainly because I have to cook and don't need any distractions when I start making pie :-) ). If that's all right ...

/iz made of deadline fail

placeofinsanity November 21 2009, 14:10:01 UTC

That's perfectly fine. Have a good Thanksgiving. And pie. :D

Will and Jack: "We're making pie too. huh-huh! huh-huh!"
Elizabeth: "Shut UP!"

veronica_rich November 22 2009, 21:50:50 UTC

As I recall, "pie" belongs almost exclusively to the province of Sparrow and Norrington. But I'm sure there's room for other flavors.

I too thank Drea for her efforts. People like you keep this lovely fan community going!

placeofinsanity November 22 2009, 21:59:05 UTC

You're very welcome! It's people like you who keep the talent!
