It's my own fault -- I really did procrastinate too much

[theladysnarkydame]

Goddamnit, I can't.  There's two hours left before BBB drafts are due and I've lost the thread, the words aren't coming.   I'm too far short to be able to make do with summarized scenes, and the climax makes no fucking sense.

Also, I can't keep my eyes open, and that's with a 20 oz RedBull AND a five hour energy drink under my belt. 

I'm not going to finish this draft in time.  ;__;

I could cry -- the BBB is my favorite, and I'm gonna miss it this year.

Somebody will still want to read this thing right?  When i do get it together.  Which I will.  Eventually.

Awww bb I am sorry you won't get it in for deadline :(
But OF COURSE I will still want to read it when it is ready.
<33333

Oh well. Next time! And good! Because I am going to get it finished. *is determined*

[alpheratz]

I'm sorry your missed the deadline. <333 Of course everyone will want to read it! People will probably be thrilled to have something to read outside BBB. It's kind of feast or famine in this fandom. :)

I don't really know where to post it though! Other than my own journals, anyway. I'll just have to make it extra good, if I can.

Quite a lot of people still follow bandslashmania, and here on DW there is always angelsandkings. And I think dotcoms_refresh mods follow AO3's bandom feed because anything posted there always appears in the newsletter.

Thank you so much! I feel like a noob.

That's such a disappointing feeling, I'm sorry. I'll probably be posting a couple of longer stories outside BBB (because I missed Wave One and I didn't hit most of my goals for Wave Three), so you're not the only one?

[theladysnarkydame]

Yay, solidarity! I'll be looking forward to seeing your fic. ♥

*big hugs* I'm sorry you weren't able to finish, sweetie. That sucks. And of course people will still read it even if it isn't posted for BBB! *moar hugs*

<<33 Thanks, bb!

That's really sad to hear. It must be so frustrating for you, but yeah, sometimes things just refuse to work out and there is no forcing them. Particularly not creative things!

I know that I will definitely want to read your story whenever it's ready and I don't think I'm the only one! (And personally I'll much rather keep waiting longer for a story than to have the writer rush something out that they're not really satisfied with!)

[theladysnarkydame]

It just wasn't happening, I guess. But I can already see some of the places where things went wrong! So that'll give me something to work with. <3

I'm so sorry you didn't get it done in time.

Of course people will still read.

[theladysnarkydame]

Thanks, I needed to hear that, I think. <3
