I'm not going to get all my BigBangs in.
Too many all due at the same time (what is it with the obsession with the end of July/start of August? Everything is due right then.) and I didn't anticipate that work would more or less take over my life.
SciFi Big Bang is out. Maybe if the date had been the start of September, I could have. Or start of October, even.
Ladies Big Bang...is wobbly. I'm at 10K, but I'm only halfway through the story, if that. It'll be at least 20K, if not 25, I think.
Atlantis Big Bang is very wobbly. Not in writing - 15K - but in plot. Ironically, this is the one I want to finish the most. But the original plot I had for it just doesn't quite work in my head. I'm not sure I can get it working to my satisfaction and then write it before the 10th August. It'll probably have to be done by the 5th, because I fly out to Vancouver on the 6th and the next four days will be crazy.
I know that most people want to see Black Jewels fic. And I do want to write that. But I think it's more important for me to finish off Astonishing Persistence, even if only ten people ever read it and not one of them likes it enough to comment. I want this one done and out for once. And the only way I'll get it done is if I have a deadline and the hope that someone will do nice art for it and maybe there'll even be an audience for it in the Big Bang readers.
Thing is, I could possibly get both Ladies and Atlantis BBs in...if I had nothing to do for the next 20 days. Since we're in the last 8 weeks of a major global project go-live, that's not going to happen unless someone's withholding the Time Turners.
So it's Ladies - which is an active fandom (Merlin) and all plotted out, or Atlantis - which is a dying fandom and half-plotted out. Logic would suggest I go for the Ladies BB, but if I don't even try the Atlantis BB, I won't ever do it.
*sigh*
Anyone free to chat, talk, bounce, ping? I need at least one cheerleader and one alpha (to help go through the story), preferably two. Someone who has some time and either DreamWidth or an email account that I can mail at work?
