TOTAL ICON OVERHAUL, YO.

Well, that was several hours well spent. (Several hours not revising, oh god I'm going to fail. *PANICS*)

But startrekbigbang is awesome. So, to all you guys who're struggling along with me: how are your big bangs going? Productively? Or are we all about to embark on a summer of collective hair-pulling-out? :D ♥♥

I NEED FIRST TO FINISH MY REVERSEBANG. OH GOD.

[vixys]

YOU CAN DO IT. WE ALL BELIEVE IN YOU. ♥

That's the fic challenge where writers write from art, instead of art being based on fic, right?

[andrealyn]

YUP! I have five scenes left and technically I know them, but some of them are painfully long. LIKE BONES PERFORMING SURGERY ON HIMSELF.

[vixys]

... that sounds tricky - for you, and for Bones.

(Good luck, bb. You'll be AWESOME. *cheerleads* ♥♥)

My co-writer and I have been talking, but we haven't started writing yet. At least, I haven't.

[vixys]

I think I admire you for doing it with a cowriter. Cowriting with someone is something that would just confuse me: hashing out plot details, okay, but actually writing it? Idk.

Are the ideas flowing, though? ♥

[thistlerose]

We have some ideas. I've never co-written before. It's fun having someone to talk about things, though. I think we mostly agree on how we want Spock and McCoy to interact. O_o

You are not going to fail. I did not fail my exams, so you won't fail yours. Actually I know that you'll be awesome at them and get top grades. ♥♥

[vixys]

FAIL FAIL FAIL. I have a week, and I don't know half of what I should.

OH WELL. There's more to life than exams, and I only need to get Cs this year to get As overall and therefore meet the grade requirements for OXFORD.

Not that I want to get Cs.

(I think my stressing is going to get a lot worse in a week or so. :D Prepare yourself. ♥♥♥)

[bela_black]

Let me repeat this once for you: YOU. ARE. NOT. GOING. TO. FAIL.

You probably won't have to know half as much as you think. Trust me on this, it's going to be easier than you think. I know this because you're awesome and smart and even people who aren't will pass these exams, so you sure as hell will.

And with the fact that you only need Cs you have an additional safety buffer and can relax a bit. Because you will get As anyway, but even if you don't, it's not the world's ending. ;)

Is my motivational speech any good? ;)

[vixys]

... your motivational speech rocks, bb. You're like Alexander before Issus. :D ♥♥♥

Idk. It's just stressful - a lot rides on these exams, and because it's all new syllabuses and new styles of exam paper and no one really knows how anything's going to be marked, it's doubly stressful.

But, then again, you know everything - so you must be right. :) ♥

[janice_lester]

It's looking like hair-pulling at the moment. I probably shouldn't have signed up for a

[vixys]

:D Challenges: there are just too many. You'll make it! Never fret! *cheerleads excessively* ♥♥♥

[tee_sama]

Oh you're not going to fail :D I thought so too, because I didn't study at all, and I made it :D I even made my university exams! :D

God, I've been out of STXI fandom for so long... :D It got really big, huh? :D

[vixys]

Failfailfail. I'm okay with this, and have mostly given up on revision. :D ♥♥

Tbh, I wouldn't know. I haven't been particularly active myself in the XI fandom, but I know that A LOT of people have signed up for the big bang. Like, about a hundred or something. Which is kinda scary... But oh well! On with the fic. ♥

[tee_sama]

Wow :D I had to drop out of the last year's one because of finals and I didn't plan to join this year's because of university exams, but I still can join as an artist. We'll see, there's still time for that. :D ♥

I was mostly reading my old time favorites from SGA and older fandoms to keep myself sane during this insane period of time. :D
