{ mod } what do you want me to do?

[thisissirius]

i've had a few messages to my tumblr about this so i'm saying this here;

this wasn't to say that i'm annoyed by the messages at tumblr, only that i hadn't received any other form of messages since june expressing peoples worry except on tumblr;
the big bang is still on, there isn't another check-in until the 10th. the writers are writing and i don

I am writing like mad. This fic is going to be way over 20K. I seem to have verged a bit from the summary I've previously entered though.

Good luck! :D

I was in this together with a friend, and we were both really excited to be a part of it. But we've suffered huge amounts of frustration and demotivation because of lack of mod involvement. Our fics have gone almost nowhere-I've written 500 words in the past fortnight and she's written maybe 1000 words.

Betas and cheerleaders haven't been matched up, and this is a huge killer on my motivation as well. I've been acting as muse/cheerleader for said friend for the past month, but where's the support for everyone elseThis lack is a huge killer on my motivation as well

I apologise that you feel that way and I'm sorry if my actions have been the cause.

The beta matching was my fault and I'll get on that now. We don't have an official cheerleader post and we didn't last round either. I'm running this exactly the same way as I did last round - and we have a side comm for writers and authors both to get together and talk and cheerlead. This was never supposed to be an isolating experience, however, and I will do my best to make sure you don't feel that way again.

[thisissirius]

I understand and I can only apologise.

I do wish you luck on continuing your fic.

I agree with what's been said here by the other users. I'm afraid I'm also withdrawing from the fest.

[thisissirius]

That's fine and I apologise.

I have to agree with a lot of the comments. I never had my question from June answered, and I would have appreciated a cheerleader and/or a beta reader closer to the beginning. At this point, there is absolutely no way I can have my fic done without a substantially revised timeline. I think I'll also have to withdraw.

[thisissirius]

I apologise for this; I went through my PMs and the FAQ post a little while ago and answered questions but I didn't seem to answer any in my initial post and for that I'm sorry.

We're going to be revising the timeline because it does seem a bit tight this time around and, with everything happening for people in rl, it's the best idea all around.

I'm sort of new to big bangs (and betas and cheerleaders and writing fic in general), so I wasn't really expecting anything at all and I'm just going with it, responsible for my own motivation.

I'm still in, for what it's worth.

[thisissirius]

I know and that's completely wrong; I should have been around more and I can only apologise.
