You know that novel I'm starting to write?

[minxy]

Yeah, so I'm writing a long story (they one where they're all like ronin!), having set myself a deadline working with stargate_summer, who may hook me up with an artist too, so I'll have a *cover* for my story and ev'ythang and I'm really excited.

The word count is only at a couple of thousand words (out of fifty thousand dear Gods help me,) but I'm doing a lot of the legwork outlining and plotting the thing. It feels like a lot is getting done.

Here's the thing, though, they also have sign-ups for cheerleaders (positive feedback and encouragement), beta editors (all variations of comma-checking to medieval-levels-of-cruelty), artists and I think even music mix people may be able to sign up.

And we'll have long, luscious Stargate novels posted one-a-week through the summer.

Only, the beta lists are a little short right now. Some of us have betas we already work with (and love to hate), but there are other folk looking for assigned betas to help them through the fairly massive undertaking. If you enjoy long Stargate stories but aren't up for writing one or writing to deadline, consider signing up to beta? Those of us who feel a bit in over our heads will rest a little easier knowing you're there.

(A LUSCIOUS, LONG, STARGATE STORY EVERY WEEK THIS SUMMER. IMAGINE. STARGATE SUMMER NEEDS YOOOOOOOU TO BETA!)

Thanks! I'm looking forward to vacation since, you know, I may have some actual *time* to write!

i am so happy that this event gives you the juice you need to write. YAY!!!

I don't dare commit to a project of this magnitude, in any capacity, but I'll be informally cheering from the sidelines.

what a great idea.

It's really adorable so far, we have a bitching community where we all talk to each other about whatever (currently, how insane we are for signing up for this) and there's all this built-in support and squee and celebration.

Cuteness.
