The next Big Bang chat is four weeks away, on 30th June. In the meantime, how are you all getting along with your primary fanworks? Comment below to tell us:

• where you're up to
• any help you need (beta? cheerleading? anything else?)
• any resources you've found that might help the rest of us!

Also, please comment below if you can volunteer to beta or cheerlead! Don't forget to include:

• how people can contact you
• which media you can beta (fic, art, podfic etc)
• which fandoms/characters/pairings you can beta
• the sort of beta you can offer, if applicable (story-level editing, line editing etc)
• any categories of fanwork you're NOT happy to beta

6000 words is a great start, esp as you already did lots of research :) And huzzah for being out of the slump!

Hemingway Editor looks fun - thanks for the link! Hmm, you know what would be handy - an extra colour to highlight accidental unAmericanisms. That would save my betas from shouting at me a lot.

Thanks! Just got out of another slump yesterday night. I found my way again a few days after getting to catch a break from my courses. Gonna have to rush like hell, though; lagging behind on schedule.

I let LibreOffice handle those unAmericanisms for me, haha. What would I do without English dialect options?

My spellcheck deals with spelling variations, but it can't catch words with different meanings, or phrases that don't exist at all in US english (so many of these, ugh)
