Two and a half weeks?????
Not long now! We’re entering the “oh shit it’s real” portion of the countdown. It’s not time to panic, I promise!! But it is time to prioritize and make future-you’s life easier.
Authors— this is a good time to look at what still needs to happen before your fic is ready to post. Ending? Editing? Beta reading? Formatting? Tags/warnings? Maybe make a list now so it doesn’t overwhelm you at the last minute.
Artists— same goes for art! What still needs doing? Sketching? Coloring? Rendering? Maybe you need updated details from your author, or to pick an image hosting site? Have a tentative plan to make it easier on you when it comes time to post!
Tiny goal for this week: make a “must finish” list and a “nice if I have time” list. Be honest with yourself AND be kind to yourself. Perfection is the enemy of fucking everything creative. Honest, beautiful, moving, thought-provoking, hot, funny, joyful, heart-breaking… all of these beat perfection.
Just a little FYI, I’ve got some irl stuff that’s come up that unfortunately coincides with the posting dates. I’ll be around but may be slower than usual to update or respond. The best way to get my attention would be to dm or @ me on discord, but I’ll be on tumblr as well!
