So, I get back from a week in Mallorca to discover that my new-new fic now is the winter has been nominated for an award! That's a new one. Don't think that's ever happened before. *excited* This has banished the itching guilty feeling I've been feeling about dropping out of startrekbigbang - because hell, now I can write what I want to write (srsly: this fic isn ( Read more... )

I'm beginning to really seriously consider pulling out of startrekbigbang - again. Every word is a struggle, and has been for weeks.

After seeing thistlerose's post on the same subject, I nipped over to hc_bingo and signed up. This, I think, might go quite well.

Witness the fairly awesome that is my card:

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 ♥♥
