Check In #3 (MANDATORY)

[pokemod]

Sorry this is late. THIS IS A MANDATORY CHECK-IN FOR ALL ARTISTS AND WRITERS. If you're still game for the big bang, you need to post here.

Please review the calendar of events.

• By August 9, you need to e-mail your master list to us at pokeprompts@gmail.com. BUT, posting doesn't start until August 13. This means that until August 13, you are totally allowed to keep working and writing and editing. In fact, if you have a later date in the posting schedule, you could totally keep working up until your posting day, whenever that happens to be. (Part of the reason we're holding this mandatory check-in is so that we can get a feel for how many people are actually going to be posting fic this round. So if eight people total post here, theoretically you could get an extra week of grace.) However, don't count on this—you need to try your best to hit the Aug. 9/13 deadline, so you're not stressing and we're not stressing, but I just wanted to make the situation totally clear to everyone.
• When we give out the posting assignments on August 12, unless some extreme extenuating circumstance occurs, you need to post on your assigned day, or tell us asap!! If something's wrong. Okay? Okay.
• With that said, if you are confident that you could post your fic on August 13 if you needed to, please please please let us know that here. We need to figure out posting order, and we need to figure out who can post when. I don't want to throw people under the bus. Please don't make me do that.
• When you submit your master list to pokeprompts@gmail.com on August 9 (earlier is, as always, okay!), please at least tell us where you plan to post your fic, and include an (at least hesitant) word count.

Username:
Word count/art progress: (hit the word limit? Finished your pieces? How much is left to do? Hopefully you're almost there!)
Could your group post on August 13: (not that you *will*, that you *could*; if the answer to this is "no," when *do* you think you could post?)
Talk to us: (This is your area to ramble. Let us know how it's going, how you're doing, if there's any way we can help, etc., etc.)

There are only three or so days left, y'all, so we've got a new thing going on this year!

Pokemon Big Bang Chat!
We're hosting a chatroom on tinychat where everyone participating in the big bang can talk to each other, cheer each other on, answer questions, and support one another through the last few days of writing and creating.

Rules:

1. Try to keep your fic a surprise! Though you shouldn't be afraid to ask specific questions about the pokemon world or ask for help thinking of what to do next in your story, try to keep your general plot under wraps if possible. (But if you slip up, it's not the end of the world.)
2. Be excellent to each other! No drama or fighting, all right? Take it off-chat if necessary.
3. Have fun!

CLICK HERE TO JOIN THE CHAT!

I'll be in there for as much as possible over the next few days. Let's all help each other across the finish line, everyone!
