The Numbers Post

[przed.livejournal.com]

We've heard back from our last artist, and I'm in the midst of getting out the second round story claims. But in the meantime, I thought it might be cool to look at some of the numbers all you lovely people have produced for the Pros Big Bang so far.

Number of Writers and Stories: 24

Number of Artists: 12
Number of Stories Artists Will Be Claiming: 20

And my favourite statistic...
Number of Words Produced by Our Writers So Far: 548,745

That's over half a million words! And many of the stories aren't done yet.

So take a bow, writers and artists. You are all awesome, and I can't wait to see the final versions all the lovely work you're producing.

Half a million words! Pros fans are going to be quiet in September with all that lovely reading to do ♥

[przed.livejournal.com]

September, October, and possibly November. And hopefully they'll break the quiet enough to leave feedback for our lovely writers and artists. *g*

Look at us and our bad selves!!! (I love that you are a spreadsheet/stat geek:-))

[przed.livejournal.com]

I can't help myself. I know how to set up formulas, and I'm not afraid to use them. *g*

Do you need more art? I know I already claimed two, but if I have until September, I'm pretty sure I can manage one more....

[przed.livejournal.com]

If you could manage one more story, that would be awesome.

I'm going to finish the second round stories today. I'll keep you posted on what's needed and which stories are available.

Wow! Those are awesome figures! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who likes to count things. *g*

Me too!

Yay for stats geeks :)

Seriously amazing stuff.

Yay for stats geeks :)

I just can't help myself. Plus, it's a cool stat.

Yayyyy!!!!! Go you, you amazing Big Bang writers and artists! ::blows trumpet, rattles drums::

::counts the days:: *g*

Here are those Big Bang pom poms:

Wow, that is awfully impressive. As I've said elsewhere, I'm just so impressed with the ambition of both the writers and the artists. It's amazing. Yay, Pros!

[przed.livejournal.com]

Callisto and I are gobsmacked. Before the rough drafts started rolling in, we were talking about being happy if 10 writers finished their stories. We more than doubled that.

Yay, Pros indeed!

548,745 -- Well, that's just Callisto and you, how about the rest of us? *whistles*

I'm looking forward to September as a *reader* although I think even with stories being posted on different days there's still going to be a lovely, lovely backlog. *g*

I'm not even close to the highest word count. A couple of people broke 60,000 words. (If I get to that point, you'll hear the screaming from north of the border.)

[draycevixen.livejournal.com]

I'm beginning to have a truly nasty suspicion that my story might be end up at least twice as big as planned... I'm having naughty thoughts about cutting out my sub-plot. I know, you hoped that sentence was going in a different direction. *g*

[przed.livejournal.com]

This sounds familiar. I keep upping my estimate of how long mine's going to be by about 5,000 words every week. I'm just hoping I don't enter the realm of ancastar. *g*

And if you will tease us, our thoughts are going to go in naughty directions. *g*

[dawnebeth.livejournal.com]

I keep watching my word count climb in the story--29,000 (so far) and think, when am I going to finish this darn thing? I mean, I know where it's going, but it's taking a damned long time to get there!

[przed.livejournal.com]

Sounds far too familiar. I think I've got mine to a point where I can say it's definitely going to be 30,000-ish words, but then I've thought that before. :-/

[msmoat.livejournal.com]

Oh, good lord. Now I feel...inadequate. Oh well! Mine will be small, but finely formed...

(And I am totally not trying to go the innuendo route here but it seems impossible. I'll just slink away now.) *g*

[przed.livejournal.com]

No need to feel inadequate. Small but finely formed is a marvellous thing. (I'm taking the high road and see no innuendo. Nope, not at all. *g*)

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Nothing with small but finely formed, my friend. You and I will set that club up together, and squeeze oourselves in between these 60K plus folk.*g*

[margaret-r.livejournal.com]

Can I squeeze in too? I'm sure I'll fit.

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

Of course! The more small and finely formed the better. So to speak.*g*

[sc-fossil.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow. Great job, writers! I can't wait to see what the artists come up with for their stories. I'm so excited!

[przed.livejournal.com]

'm so excited!

You and me both!

[margaret-r.livejournal.com]

Wow! All I can say is - what a lot of reading. Looking forward to it:)

[przed.livejournal.com]

This is going to keep me in Pros stories for months! I'm definitely looking forward to it.
