This week's check in comes after our charming and talented artists have been assigned their charming and talented writers. So we can finally hear from the art side of our challenge team.

How are things going, artists? Are you excited about the story you claimed? Do you have lots of ideas?

And for the writers, how's your writing going? Are you eagerly looking forward to the September deadline, or starting to have a bit of a meltdown?

The lads are eager to hear your stories!


(Thanks to Daily Pros on Tumblr from whom I nicked the pic.)

I created art for the story I got. (My first choice, too! Yay!) I was quite obsessed with it and had so much fun!!! :D

I'm getting there with my writing. Just trying to keep moving forward slowly and not worry yet about all the editing it'll need. :) I think I'm over the hardest part for me to write. Yes, there's all sorts of plotty stuff left, but the lads don't have to be set against each other anymore. Whew...

Thank you. I hope so.

I am in the process with my art - have shown some stuff to my writer, have a couple more things just needing a final review from my lovely beta before showing my writer, and am currently working on the final piece (but it's giving me grief), so all in all, I'm on course. :)

Writing progress hasn't changed at all in the past couple of weeks, but that's mostly because my beta has been too flat out busy to have a look at my second draft yet. Still lots of time, though, and I reckon there'll only be minor tweaks needed after the second draft is done.

I'm halfway done with my first story. Yay! I love it so much! \o/ :D

... and I'm going to start thinking about the second story soon. Love it too! \o/ :)

*excited*

Yay, artists! \o/

Writing: I'm kind of exhausted, but I'm filling in what bits I can when I can. That's how it goes right now.

Have been talking to the artist and the betae, though -- that's always fun. :D

As a writer, I'm done and dusted and off to my exceptionally gorgeous proof reader. As a vidder, I am truly delighted with the story I've been gifted and am having a lovely time reading it and devising things for the vid. Am not sure at this stage whether to go for the more obvious, or something more unusual...

Well, I've just gone over the 20k mark and am still only on the top of page 2 of my 5 page summary. Where are all the words coming from? Am trying to keep up with writing every day - a good piece of advice from professional writers but not one I've ever adhered to previously - and am in the middle of writing a wedding scene. Whose you ask? Ah that would be telling!

The art for the first story is nearly done.

The second will follow soon ;-)

I'm over the moon with my writer/story. *waves at Merentha*

It's such a strong story it's given me a ton of ideas for the artwork, and I'm at the all-fur-coat-no-knickers stage where I'm making doodles all over the place trying to decide which way to go... decisions decisions *g*

I am making progress on my story. Slow, but steady. I've got this morning, tomorrow morning, and the following morning--each day until about 2--to work solidly. You'd think there would be progress, right?

Mind you, I seem to be commenting rather than writing at the moment... *g*

*woeful noises*

Motivation, yes. Wonderful artist, yes (we make a great match *g*) Ideas, yes. Outline, yes.

Time and concentration? No, and not on the horizon any time soon :(

But I can do this! *determined face*

I'm on track with my story and I'm working on art for my artist assignment. I'm having fun!

Definitely. I enjoy myself or I'd be doing something else. :) My assigned story for art gave me lots of inspiration.

Well, the hands on stuff on my part is almost done, I had to give away a part of it and am hopeful to get it back next week so I will be able to continue.
All I need to do is get the Art into a form to present it with the story!
Which just fits wonderfully!

Tomorrow I'm going on vacations and I was rather busy last week, so I had no time to even open the file :)

I just heard today from the author of the story I chose--I've yet to receive the story but hope to hear from her soon.

I'd appreciate a rough draft very much. As you know it takes me a while to do these things and the sooner I can start researching, the better. Thanks, Hon!

LOL! Thanks! I was thinking of asking if maybe the story could be scheduled to be posted at a later date. I'll check with the author about it once I hear back from her. :-) Thanks so much, Hon. :-) Hope you and the family are all well. Missed seeing you and Sally at MW. It was a nice con if rather small and intimate.

XXXOOO
