I had a conversation with someone in email this morning, and I hope they don't mind my repeating what I said then, here. I've been away from the computer and teh internetz all day, so I'm posting this now.
I want to congratulate all those writers who submitted a draft by midnight last night! I wish you all smooth sailing, good betas, and ready words from this point to your posting date.
See, on Thursday I admitted that I could make word count, if I pushed really hard. But if I'm honest, I still don't have a clear idea of one main character's storyline in this--what do I want him to do? And I've no clear idea of the ending. It's very much something I'm going to have to wrestle with for a few months. I may post it serially on my LJ and AO3. Or I'll almost certainly do those More Than timestamps I've been promising for two years. And the sequel-ish thing to Headlong I've been wanting to write.

So in case there are any of you who visit my LJ periodically and who are waiting on a BB from me? Not this year. But, but--timestamps! Sequel-ish thing! That you've been asking for! And probably BB next year, if Wendy still wants to wrangle one.
Meanwhile, all applause to Wendy for herding cats again this year, and applause to every writer who turned in a draft and has a story to tell. Go get 'em. The artists will be waiting to pounce on your summaries, and the rest of us will all be waiting for your post date!
