down to the wire

One day to go before the zine deadline, and I have about half as much content as I need to finish everything. Nails are currently being bitten, I tell you what. But I am hopeful.

My betas haven't gotten back to me D: I wrote two roughs.

[some_stars]

it is totally coming, cross my heart. sorry for taking so long /o\

[glinda]

What are you still short of?

(I'm rubbish at deadlines these days, so tend not to sign up to do stuff, but apparently that doesn't extend to last minute pinch hits so I can do an emergency meta if your gaps match my fandoms?)

[holli]

I think I am set for the Les Mis zine assuming people come through with what they've promised to make. But Doctor Who and Discworld are looking a bit iffy, and I have no meta at all for Pushing Daisies.

[glinda]

Right, I've got some meta for you for Pushing Daisies, about 1000 words on the music of the show. Will that fit? and if so, where would you like it sent?

[holli]

YES WONDERFUL, you can email it to me at hollimichele at gmail dot com.

1,000 words of meta about the eighth doctor basically written. i just need to bash it into shape tomorrow and send it to you.

regarding 'finding fandoms' - i was thinking of writing something about how i found each of my fandoms. is that ok? or do you just want the first one? because the first one (really) isn't very interesting, whereas in total... they might be. i won't be heartbroken if you refuse - i'll just write a short thing about going on the internet and reading star wars fic :)

[holli]

Oh, great! And feel free to write up as many fandoms as you'd like to.

[aralias]

brilliant! that means i have a structure as well. will do that tomorrow.

[grey_bard]

Do you need anything for How I Found Fandom? I just wrote one, if you want it.

[holli]

Yes, please! I just left you a comment on the comm, but just in case-- email to hollimichele at gmail dot com. It can just be in the body of the email.

[kate_nepveu]

I have an outline for the DW piece but I also have a work thing that has to take precedence--would tomorrow be too late?

[holli]

Not at all! I'll be doing layouts and formatting for the next few days, and probably making the actual physical zines at the end of the week or early next week.

[kate_nepveu]

I can't promise how long it will be but I will do my very best to get you something publishable.

[surexit]

:( I'm really sorry I failed at this. LIFE, dammit. I hope you found enough Discworld stuff!

[holli]

I actually came out to exactly 20 pages of Discworld zine, which is PERFECT, so no worries!

[surexit]

Brilliant!
