Still in?: Yes!
How far along are you?: Well, I've got a rough draft that's ~8k words.
Anything we should know?: AAAAAHHHHH /o\ Urgh. School starts up for me soon, and I'm going to another country for this term, so things might get pretty busy. The fic's only about 40% done (I'm projecting 20k), and I've got another Big Bang that I really need to start paying attention to, but hopefully I'll be able to finish this one soon ;;
Are things okay with your beta?: Yes, as far as I know :D
Express yourself: HHHHHHHH. I'M OKAY. I'M PERFECTLY FINE.

Too bad you're not in anymore, but thanks for telling us.

I hope things will get better!

[mesmerized_mia]

Still in?: Noooo t_t
How far along are you?: If there's a BB next year, could I work more on this story and submit it then?
Anything we should know?: I'm so terribly sorry. I really thought I could do it.
Are things okay with your beta?: Yes. Beta was very nice. This is all my fault and my fault only v_v
Express yourself: I'm so sorry.

Thanks for telling us you're dropping out.
Sure you can! And we dearly hope you will.
Just as the faq says:
"I have [so many words] of a fic already written that I want to use for this Big Bang, may I?
Yes, providing that you write 12,000 words on top of whatever you already have. For instance, if you wrote 3,000 words of Mark and Eduardo reconnecting on a yacht, say, then you'd have to write an extra 12,000 on top of that - giving you a total word count of 15,000. (In fact, if you haven't written Mark and Eduardo reconnecting on a yacht, the mod team would hereby like to encourage you to do so now.)"

So hopefully you can enjoy the rest of this Big Bang anyway and we might see you next year!

[maybecatie]

Still in?: Yes!
How far along are you?: About 8 or 9k words?? I'm planning for 15.
Anything we should know?: WORK SUCKS AND SCHOOL SUCKS AND MOSTLY WORK SUCKS BC I WORK FOR LIKE 10 HOURS A DAY BUT I'M TRYING MY BEST :(((((
Are things okay with your beta?: We're in basically opposite time zones, so we never get to talk. The last time we spoke must have been weeks ago, so... not really.:(
Express yourself:i can DO THIS (maybe?)

[spider_wardo]

Thanks for checking in. But remember, you still need to send a rough draft to tsnbigbang2012 at gmail dot com.

Good luck with making things work out with work and school!
