Just checking in: "I don't know what is going on, whether it's the full moon, or the summer heat..."

It's been about 4 weeks since matches went out! In years past, this would be the critical halfway point! This year, stories come due on the AO3 on September 24.

Still, no reason to procrastinate! :-) Have you picked your prompt, brainstormed, outlined, researched? Finished? ;-) If you have any great tips or questions for the rest of us, please do share!

General offer to anyone in the fest:

I'm not participating this year. Should anyone want someone to bounce ideas off of, brainstorm with, or generally complain at about the state of their stories, I'd be happy to help.

Generous support offer!

Thank you so much! I'll go mention your offer from here on my own blog now, and then plan to also mention it in the next weekly-or-so reminder on the community...?

I'd love some help! Thanks!

Dlyt here. I'm playing for only the second time, and I could use some help with how to get my story idea from my head to the page in something resembling coherence!

If you're still willing and able, how do we connect? I'm only on livejournal, not on dreamwidth.

Dlyt-

The offer to open to everyone :)

I've added you as a friend on LJ. This should let us use the Jabber feature to chat in real time. I'm argentum_ls there, too.

Should you want other options, I'm also on tumblr as argentum-ls, AOL instant messaging as KateAM400, and gchat as argentum.ls11.

Ping me at whatever service you're comfortable using. IME, real time discussion is the best way for brainstorming stories, but if you'd prefer PMs, pick an address and drop me a line.

I tend to be around in the late afternoons-early mornings Central time.
