Bear* Threat Level = ?

[morbane]

It's two and a half weeks until the Yuletide posting deadline. So: how's everyone going?

Alarm, existential angst, overcommitment, bears?

Confidence, enjoyment, early completion?

Something in the middle?

Feel free to vent or boast here. Please avoid any identifying details - and keep in mind how any comments may be read after reveals.

If you have a plot problem, maybe the IRC chat or a spreadsheet beta can help fix it. If you're new to posting, maybe someone can answer a question. If you have a doubt or difficulty, there are plenty of resources to help and plenty of sympathetic people in the same boat as you.

*bears: shorthand for feeling daunted by your assignment and uncertain if you can complete it. Also defined here. Example sentence: "I just realised my plot depends on one of my recipient's DNWs, and I have BEARS."

It's going pretty well so far! It's over the word count limit, at a reasonable stopping point in case I don't get anything more done, and I'm pretty sure it's in keeping with what my recip wants. I'm trying to work in some smut, but that's proving harder than expected.

"Two and a half weeks until posting deadline" makes it sound incredibly soon, ack! But there's still plenty of time.

Assignment is done and posted. My beta loved it, so hopefully the recipient will too. Now I just need to revise treats. I'm feeling very satisfied about what I've managed to do. No bears here! :D

Bear cubs.

It's going to be... OK. Not finished yet, but the end is in sight and I even know vaguely what shape it should be (not bear-shaped).

Because I am a constructive procrastinator, I've already finished a short treat.

All done! \o/ Now to give my writing brain a little break, and then TREATING TIME.

Comfortably over the word-count but stalled at an unreasonable place because of RL and depression. :/

Bears in utero?
