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?

Here's my snippet from chapter 2
Gabriel realized just how difficult it was to land correctly when wielding that much power. A simple travel through time was cake, but deleting everything that came after that point along the way was a lot more difficult. In the end, he was almost too late. He arrived in Sam’s nursery just in time to the cut open on Mary’s abdomen as she was halfway up the wall. He wasted no time in revealing himself behind Azazel and placed a hand on his head, burning him out. His meatsuit had already been dead so it didn’t matter too much.
While he released his power to kill Azazel the lights in the room burst and the shadows of his six large wings flashed on the wall behind him and Mary’s eyes went wide as she fell to the floor. Once the demon had been neutralized he went to Mary’s side and placed his hands over her stomach as a blue light glowed from them and her wound healed. Once she was settled, and just watching him in wonder, he swept over to the crib and picked up the fussy baby. “It’s okay Samshine. I’ve got you. You’re safe now,” he cooed at him as he bounced the baby in his arms.
Mary finally managed to collect herself. “You’re an angel,” she whispered in awe.
“Archangel actually,” Gabriel said with a shrug.
“Wh-what’s your name?” she asked.
“If I tell you, you can never tell anyone else. Not even another angel,” Gabriel said and when she nodded he smiled at her and said, “Gabriel.”
“Gabriel,” she breathed out. “Why?” she asked curiously. She wouldn’t have thought that one mother and baby would be worth the attention of the mighty Gabriel after all. Even if she had ever considered that an angel would actually come save her she would have figured on someone lower on the totem pole.
“Because I loved him once,” Gabriel whispered wistfully gazing at the baby in his arms.
