I've switched over to try and write my stuff in plain text with the code in it, so I don't have to go through and find all the italics at the end. At first, it was really annoying, but now it really works for me.
*shifts eyes around* If you have any spare writing mojo, I'm looking to pick some up *cough cough*
I have spare writing mojo! I've been using it with a few people online, having virtual "writing jams." If you're into that sort of thing, I'll be happy to hang out with you in chat and be your virtual cheerleader.
I used to code things as I went when I was posting original fic to LJ, back in the day, but now that I'm posting to ff.net, going in and removing tags is just as much of a pain.
I didn't really think it through for Big Bang, though, because it's so much bigger than anything I've ever posted before. Take Me Home was comparable in size, but I posted that at the rate of a chapter a day, which was way easier to code.
Also, I seem to have a lot of italics this time around. :P
If you weren't so awesome, I'd have to hate you. I felt damn proud of myself for adding a hundred words to something I was working on last night. I'm going to go cry bitter, bitter tears into my tea now.
I may have to add sugar to it, that's how bitter the tears will be. ;)
Still, I started my summergen on Saturday, and it now stands at 15,000 words
... I think I hate you. Mine is only at 1,043 words; I feel sad for my recipient. And I have about 900 words of the French translation of my big bang. *whines*
I swore to myself that my summergen would be simple. Instead, I got a prompt for a crossover and then it became a casefic and now I'm in over my head. :P
Hey, your summergen meets the challenge requirements, so you're golden. :)

When I get them out of the way, I'll be able to get back to more immediate stuff, posting-wise. :)

(In other news, good for you! and Yay! fic!)

I haven't forgotten your beta, incidentally. Your fic is fun and reads really well, so if there are any corrections, they'll be really minor. :)

I've been mainlining the stuff, not that it's a big change from my usual habits. ;)
I'm nearly done with my coding! Whoop whoop!
