Poll: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

Pardon this slight interruption to your regularly scheduled programming...

A while back I was thinking about the fact that most pilots fic these days seems to be either really short stuff (up to 5000 words: comment fic and one-shots) or long stuff (50,000 words and up: ongoing multi-chapter WIPs) and what we're lacking is the medium stuff of about 10,000 to 50,000 words.

Hence I'd like to propose we have a Medium Bang--similar to the fandom Big Bangs but on the smaller scale of that 10-50K range! So who's interested? We could also have an artwork component, if there was enough interest, and/or a theme or a prompt component? Any ideas? Put em in the comments!

Can I say "maybe"? The idea intrigues me, but I'm nervous about writing fic still and have never managed to even begin to approach the minimum length. Also have no idea what I'd write about :/

[scifishipper.livejournal.com]

Yay! I can't wait! I think we should also have a round of scenario prompting and idea generation to spark the muses. I hope people will sign on!

[nazkey.livejournal.com]

I'll participate. It seems that the only way I can motivate myself to actually FINISH something is if I had a prompt & a deadline!

[word-vomity.livejournal.com]

Oh god! The commitment! I want to but, volleyball tryouts today signal the end of free time for me till mid November so, I guess yes if the deadline is Nov or Dec. If earlier, I'll do my very best but no promises. :)

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

We'll probably do some kind of prompting thread early on, assuming enough folks are interested.

ARRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!

I know a lot of stuff is shortfic, but it must be said, it's really GOOD fic (this goes for most BSG fic on LJ, of all lengths) which is kind of rare in any fandom.

I can't really commit to writing longfic, but if anyone has wants me for a beta reader I'm all yours.

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

We will have a beta thread (if we get that far).

[pressdbtwnpages.livejournal.com]

Let me get through my Big Bang and then I'm all yours! (& not a Russian auto dealership to boot!)

[aurora-0811.livejournal.com]

I will be a cheerleader for everyone who participates. *shakes pom poms*

[rachelindeed.livejournal.com]

I'm putting in a tentative yes to fic writing, but if this winds up going through in November I may be dealing with a bit too much RL stuff at that point. I'll give it a shot, though -- sorry I can't be more firm in my commitment right now.

[embolalia.livejournal.com]

Started a new job this week and it's consuming my life. But hopefully once I find a place to live around here I will stop being so stressed and have time to write again! So yes, but not if the deadline is this month :)

[scifishipper.livejournal.com]

Prompt: Kara and Lee in a Pride and Prejudice Crossover. :P

*hugs you before you can hit me*

[shah-of-blah.livejournal.com]

...maybe...

[nazkey.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha. I KNEW either you or Tara or even K. would say something when I posted that. LOL.

Um … nice try bb, but that doesn't count because you know why? If it did, I've already met the requirement. The first two acts are over 20K ;-)

I will take another prompt tho ...

[scifishipper.livejournal.com]

Prompt: The rest of it! :D:D

[nazkey.livejournal.com]

LOL. You're killing me here. Um … no :-)

[scifishipper.livejournal.com]

Just messin' with you. You'll have to wait for the prompting thread for another idea. :P

[nazkey.livejournal.com]

I know you are bb. I'm just messin' with you right back ;-) <3 <3 <3

[anamarya.livejournal.com]

i second that - the prompt and the hugging :)

(forgot to mention that it was lack-of-caffeine - thus probably unsuccessful - try to actually join the messing around)

[requialexa.livejournal.com]

I really have to second the idea that it's GOOD fic! Coming from such a snobby, big/old fandom as DW, I'm so spoiled & usually get really disgusted with other fandoms' fic either in terms of quantity or quality or both but not here! Not one bit!! So write on you gifted goddesses!

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

Lol. No one is impugning the quality of the short fic that gets written. I, personally, write mostly short fic and find it very enjoyable. Just happened to notice there is not a lot of in-between fic. So it seemed like a niche that should be filled.

[tee-sama.livejournal.com]

If it's somewhere in late November/December I'd join as an artist. Maybe. :)

[rachelindeed.livejournal.com]

Just wanted to say it's nice to see you, dear. Hope all's well and happy with you! <3 <3

[requialexa.livejournal.com]

The Pilots!fic that y'all write is ALL good, regardless of length (although, feel free to lengthen anything...*snicker* fic-wise, I mean) and that's what I meant. The short stuff is satisfying for a quick fix, the long fic perfect for total immersion and you're right, we can never have enough in-between :) I just had to jump in and cheer!

[nazkey.livejournal.com]

HI!!!!!

I'm pretty good. Crazy busy with work & RL, but life's great. How are YOU my friend?

xoxo

[rachelindeed.livejournal.com]

I'm doing all right, thank you, dear :) So glad to hear you're happy!
