ci5_boxoftricksFor this week's check in post I thought I would go with a bit of light relief and share this fabulously funny and clever video called The the Impotence of Proofreading with you.
Little warning though, the language is very NSFW.
Lastly as always let us know how you are getting on! Are you are planning to run away to a remote island or are you celebrating already *g*.

Date: 2011-09-14 02:36 pm (UTC)As of Monday, I'm DONE. Yayayayayayay. I finished, had it edited three times and now will try to get a full read-through myself before I chop it into 9 or ten postable sized chapters.
I'm so excited for the next few weeks when we will start reading all the stories. Pre-posting congrats to all! I've betaed two of the stories and know they are great.

no subject
Date: 2011-09-15 12:31 pm (UTC)Nooooo you are not allowed to run away *hides your passport*.
no subject
Date: 2011-09-15 12:39 am (UTC)I don't know that I'm planning on running away, but I'm certainly in panic mode. Good news: I'm just about to cross the 35,000 word mark. Bad news: I might have up to 5,000 words still to write. Aiiiieeeeeee.
Still, one must persevere, no? ::sigh::
no subject
Date: 2011-09-15 12:33 pm (UTC)Yes you must persevere as I want to read all the fic and see all the art/vids *g*.
no subject
Date: 2011-09-15 01:23 am (UTC)I'm finished and waiting final art.
The video made me laugh. Thanks for the grin.

Date: 2011-09-15 08:34 am (UTC)and is it weird that I wondered just how long he had to practice that to get all those words wrong so consistently? *g*
no subject
Date: 2011-09-15 12:39 pm (UTC)Yep spellcheck has done me wrong many times, usually when I am at work!
Nope not weird as now you mention it I am thinking he must have had to practise it so many times.

Date: 2011-09-15 10:23 am (UTC)You have no idea how close this is to my RL just now producing a small broschure where the lady who did the typing made up parts of E-Mails and whole Tel-numbers. Lots of them. Which just was recognized at the very last moment...
However I thought this time to make BB special, I told myself: "What the heck. lets by a pen tablet." so my BB part will be powered by wacom. I have some nice sketches of masked Bodie & Doyle in the making. So all is well there. Just wish me luck with that broschure...

Date: 2011-09-15 12:40 pm (UTC)The pen tablet sounds brilliant and good luck with the brochure.
no subject
Date: 2011-09-16 02:48 am (UTC)And I'm SURE the brochure will be a mere moment's work with that fancy tablet.

Date: 2011-09-16 02:35 am (UTC)I just sent what could be the final draft to the betae and L'artiste. :D I'm stunned, *stunned* I say, that the story has gotten this far. :is stunned:
However, yelling, "I did it! " (mild spoiler) may not be all that socially acceptable.
L'artiste sent me an email, so I know she's doing good. So now I wait for the last comments. I feel like donning an evening gown and raising a glass of champagne, although it's still a little early... Maybe I'll really just go off for a bit and remember what RL was like (visitors in two days).
And note the new icon (although there was only about two days of *that*).
=====================
Actually, one question for the mods: when we posted our summaries, I mentioned I would need to revise mine eventually. And now I can. :D How do I do that?
no subject
Date: 2011-09-18 09:59 pm (UTC)Brilliant news about sending the final draft to your betas, that really must feel fantastic.

As for the question, the mods don't need to see the revised summary. When you post your story to the comm you will include your summary there so you can just update it as needed when you post.
