Heading into uni for the first day of semester two shortly - I have three lectures today and I imagine they're mostly going to be introductory. Have one point where I have to do the usual dash to get from one building to the next in time for my lecture but, luckily, I have a friend who will probably save me a seat. 

Met up with ishilde for coffee yesterday and we started planning the fic we're collaborating on for the Adam challenge - I'm very, very excited to be working with her on this - never collaborated with anyone on writing a fic before though, anyone have any tips for how best to organise it?

My Leverage reverse bang is still coming along nicely - I have 3000 words done and a very clear idea of what's happening. Speaking of, is there anyone who might be willing to beta it for me when it's done? It's going to be at least 10,000 words and it's Sophie/Eliot - there's a chance it might need to be a fairly quick turnaround depending on when I finish but I'm hoping I'll get the draft done to leave enough time. 

I'm really looking forward to Friday now - my day off! (Also the day me and my friends go to Pizza Hut, it's going to be even better this week because I think my friend who is away at uni is going to be there!)

Anyway, I better go and get ready so I'm not late for my first lecture...

*hugs you all*

I dunno if it's allowed or not, but I'm available for beta if you like?

I hadn't even thought about that! If you're happy to beta then that would be great...as long as you don't mind the fact that the fic won't be posting standard the first time you get to read it?

of course I don't mind! Send it over whenever you've got a draft ready!

Okay, thank you! I will do - it's at about 3000 words now and I'm hoping to make good headway on it over the next week :)

GOOD LUCK WITH SEMESTER TWO! \0/

As for collaborating, I've never done it, but I've seen some really successful authors who either divide by chapter/segment or character. You might be able to hash out segments you each do on intervals or write from different characters' POVs. Since it's a mini-bang, I don't know if chapters would apply.

Thank you! It's been an okay start - I like my three day week, anyway, because it means I get a four day weekend *g*

Yeah, we were thinking chapters...I think it's going to end up at more than the 5000 so we might get a few chapters out of it at least...could always so a part one and part two or something - I'm sure we'll work something out :)

Also, that is a gorgeous icon!

I have a four day week, but a three day weekend will have to do. Good luck with school and fic outlining, bb. XD

Thank you! I had no part in making it, lol.

I am pretty much done with the first rotation in the lab and I'm about to start with the second one... so I would say, good luck with semester two to the both of us! :D

Good luck with working in the second lab! I hope it's a good experience for you :)
