gabrielbigbangHi all! It's time for our second check-in!
Just as a reminder, our writers' first drafts are due on May 15 2016. Just over a month! Oh no! I mean... everything's under control, right? Right?
So, this second check-in is not compulsory, but it's strongly encouraged for purposes of Touching Base (you may leer if necessary). And this time you get to share a snippet of your fic!
Please answer the questions below in a comment - and add anything else you feel like adding - then share a snippet, of not-too-long length. (Look at me being completely pedantic.)
1. Have you started the story yet?
2. How confident are you of making the May 15 deadline?
3. What sort of difficulties (if any) are you encountering in writing the story?
4. Why is a blackboard?
5. If a bullet is fired nowhere near a queer female character and there are no cameras to see it, what happens?

Date: 2016-04-03 01:25 pm (UTC)2. ...um, I'm still missing 9 chapters T_T but I really really want to finish this fic by May 15!
3. Uni! And lack of inspiration, but hey, spring has come, days are warmer and everything is blooming. If that's not a boost in morale, then I don't know what is. (Oh, yeah, maybe inspiration would be even better, but I'm getting there)
4. That's clearly some tv show\series\movie reference that went right over my head. Sorry.
5. We don't see it either. Or, that bullet magically takes a shortcut to get into the frame and kill some unsuspecting dude or chick XD
And the snippet (from chapter 3):
“This is a lot for two persons,” Sam says, taking a seat opposite the oldest being in creation. “Do you always eat this much?” And he can’t help the swift once-over he gives Death.
The entertained glint returns to his timeless eyes. “I assure you, we do not overindulge ourselves with this much food every day. There is enough for three persons and you are still growing.”
“I’m twenty-seven!” Sam protests.
Death doesn’t bat an eyelid. “Still a child.” Sam scoffs and resists the urge to cross his arms and pout like the child that he most definitely is not. “You need sustainability. The day is not yet over.”
“Fine,” Sam grumbles unenthused. He looks around the kitchen. “Where’s Gabriel? Isn’t he eating with us?”
Death takes a burrito from a nearby paper plate and transfers it into his own.
“He had to make a couple of phonecalls. He will join us when he will have finished,” Death says, taking a bunch of french fries and adding them to the burrito. “Now, eat.”
Sam suppresses his chuckles, dipping his head as he starts to pile his own plate with food. “Bossy when I’m eating, too,” he murmurs, completely aware that Death is able to hear him.
“I never stop being bossy.” The notes of amusement are there in Death’s tone of voice and Sam just smiles in response.
