Round 38 is over!

[lolmac]

How did you do?  Did you avoid the drunk bar-hopping Dalek and safely deliver your shiny words (and podfics and slides and anything else)?  Brag on!  Brag on!

Many many thanks to the Mod Squad:  dbskyler, welfycat, isdon_isgood9, agirlnamedtruth, pitry, lothithil, idlewild_, lullabymoon, and yours truly. In particular, give special thanks to alinaandalion, the newest member of the Fic Rush Extremely Irregulars!

ETA:  maintaining our fine tradition of messing up at least one hour every round, I managed to post Hour 47 twice and left poor Hour 48 out in the cold.  So you can have it back again if you like.  Have fun!

Hurray, Alina! :D *three cheers*

And three cheers each for Beth, Skyler, Welfy, Don, Verity, Pitry, Lothi, Idlewild, and Jenni! :D

*falls down whump*

I posted three podfics and looked for more stories to podfic, from the particular comm I'm podficcing for right now. I didn't find any yet. Oh well.

[lolmac]

What are your criteria? I've never had any of my fic podded, as far as I know.

For this particular podficathon it's orig!fic written for the Rainbowfic comm on Dreamwidth. The particular challenge I've signed up for is running through the end of February, although I might finish sooner - I have to do half a dozen more podfics for it, and there's no length minimum.

After that... I've been vaguely thinking about trying a "really long" podfic (my longest so far is under 5500 words, so anything approaching novelette length would qualify for that), and you do rather specialize in longfic. ;-) Reverb is probably too ambitious a jump, but if Netflix happens to have S7 of MacGyver on streaming *makes note to check* I might finally get around to watching "The Stringer". I read Revision a few years back and quite enjoyed it (though I fear I never commented? :P), and it's a nice "training" novella length, but I don't care to try to podfic SAM without hearing him talk first.

So, y'know, I may well get back to you about that in March. *fingers crossed* :-)

*takes your three cheers and pockets them* Why, thank you xD

If they don't have to be of a certain criteria then I know a few people (myself included) that would love to offer up works to be podficced :)

For this particular challenge it's specifically original fiction that was written for the Rainbowfic comm on Dreamwidth, but that's only a February challenge, and I'll definitely keep your offer in mind for later when I'm doing fan-podficcing again! :D Thank you.

Well, that was only semi-productive! I got 803 words of smut and 405 words of plot in a different story written. And a new cocktail that still needs tweaking. Thanks to everyone who modded and posted supportively during the rush!

[lolmac]

That's a fine amount of smut! Plus a new cocktail. What could be better?

Thank you, mods and I chuckled at the running jokes about R2D2, Daleks and C3PO and the rest of the Doctor Who cast.


I wrote 5328 words for my smallfandombang Incredible Hulk story that I'm still finishing up. Close to done, but I'm going to be way over the 30,000 word target I thought it was going to be. (34842 words right now, probabl going to go closer to 40,000.)

Didn't get to any editing on other stories, Christmas stuff is partly down, there's lots of firewood in the house, and I overdosed on cookies this weekend.

Good wishes to everybody till next time

Laurie

Wow. Great wordcount there! See you next time!

Hmm...nine pages of plot notes for a fic that may yet see the light of day. Huzzah! Thank you mods (and drunk Daleks).

I got my rough draft up to the minimum of 7k (practically from nothing, bad V) then edited it in order to not be embarrassed of it when I sent it to my beta, then sent it to my beta.

I also spent way too much time going through meme prompts and on tumblr but that's why I had such a deadline fail to begin with ;)

But overall a success!

*throws around Dalek confetti and words*

I feel like I did more cross stitching this weekend than writing... probably cause I did :D Does that mean I should be sharing another photo of all that I've achieved? :D

[lolmac]

Works for me!

[thisbluespirit]

Thanks to everyone, as ever! I got a little distracted by things on Sunday, but I did manage to write two ficlets adding up to about 1200 words.

:-)
