Admin post: Community Check in for May 2018

[mific]

It's just slightly after the last day of May, oops (Goss has neen super-busy and I didn’t notice, sorry). But it’s never too late, so we'd love to have you check in and chat with us.

How have things been with you this past month? Did you sign up for or take part in any fandom activities in May, or have you been working on any personal art projects? Are you currently trying to meet a deadline? Feel free to share upcoming challenges that have got you excited, any frustrations you've been experiencing, possible goals for the next month, and so on.

Oof, so that was May! I've been struggling to keep up with having taken on too much in the Captain America Reverse Big Bang (AGAIN), what with 4 art entries picked up by writers. Trouble is, I then want to make each of them a second artwork for their fics, and - the most challenging - I also signed on to write my own story. I always think only 5000 words, no worries but of course it's never only 5000! Currently 12,000 and only 3/4 done. And it's too easy to procrastinate by doing art projects. So other than art already posted here, in May I finished:
- art for the CAP RBB story You're the Moon that Breaks the Night (werewolf AU)
- art for the CAP RBB story Nomad (rock band AU)
- Mermay SGA art Entwined
- also posted some quirky SGA art postcards to my DW journal here - working my way through some prompts in my 642 Things to Draw book of postcards.
- I posted a couple of shorter SGA stories to AO3 as well. My main frustration is the need to finish the longer CAP RBB story asap before the deadline, so I can get back to other projects.

Wow, you have been buzy! Congrats on getting art picked by writers for the big bang! And writing your own as well!
Also, looking at the art for the werewolves story, I just realised that the way you draw eyes makes me think of Byzantine icons... :)
