Bouncing post of bounce

I finished the rough draft of my big bang!!!

It still needs some editing and massaging and of course a beta job, but after a burst of writing yesterday it is done, done, done. And despite my worries that it wouldn't be long enough it did manage to cross the 21k mark!

Now all it needs is a title.

Dang bloody titles

YOU ARE AMAZING

(Sorry I don't have any donuts or sparklies but you rock!)

I should be available very soon if you need reading/betaing.

Thank you!!! I've already lined up [livejournal.com profile] _medley_ and [livejournal.com profile] jadesfire2808, so I think I'll be good to go on that front. Luckily, it's not required for the first draft.

Unfortunately, a title will be needed for the first draft though.... *ponders*

\donut/ Well done you!!!! WOOT!!!

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-04-23 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you!!

Do you still think you'll be able to take a look at it in the next few weeks for massaging?

[identity profile] jadesfire.livejournal.com 2009-04-23 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Send it along and I'll see what I can do. I can't promise a line-by-line at the moment, but I can offer a basic Britpick (if needed) and an overall suggestions list :D

Looking forward to it!

There's no rush at all, it's decent enough as is for the rough draft deadline.

Go you!

Well done. That is such a great feeling.

*Sends hugs and good title finding vibes your way*

*bounces* Thank you!

oh hey, I've been making up a list of Gibbs' rules (with episode list of when mentioned) do you know of any other lists to check (I already looked at the wiki one and ncis specialops)

[identity profile] nakeisha.livejournal.com 2009-04-23 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
It's a great feeling.

Not sites, as such no. I have an htlm document and a couple of txt documents that list them - but I'm not sure of the sources. Shall I send you what is listed via a PM?

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-04-23 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll just post what I have to my LJ and you can compare if that's okay.

*is dense* Big bang for which fandom?

I can't even imagine writing that many words lol, so you have praise from this corner....huge effort.

I'm not too shabby at coming up with titles if you get to the point of desperation :P

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-04-24 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
[livejournal.com profile] tardis_bigbang, for Torchwood, Doctor Who or Sarah Jane Adventures. Torchwood was my first fandom. I did a bigbang for it last year too. Overall, I don't write long, the vast majority of my things are drabbles (over a third) or under 1k (probably more than half).

Titles are *hard* for me. Sometimes I manage it and other times they just FIGHT me.

[identity profile] mylogiceatsyou.livejournal.com 2009-04-24 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
I was going to say, I thought the majority of your stuff I've seen/read was drabbles. You've certainly got a knack for them.

Titles can be that way. Either jump out at you or remain elusive.

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-04-24 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
I know some people find the 100 words confining, but I like having that box to write in, leads to more of the ability to punch.

and yep, that's titles in a nutshell for me

thanks!

HOORAY!!!!!! *BOUNCES WITH YOU*

Please excuse capslock of over excited on your behalf.

And I think mine is definitely not going to make it so any help I can be of just shout!

[identity profile] donutsweeper.livejournal.com 2009-04-24 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
*bounce*

sorry yours isn't going to happen! I am still in need of a title. *sigh* Why are titles SO BLOODY HARD?!?!?!

[identity profile] mad-jaks.livejournal.com 2009-04-24 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
