Check-In Post August 31st 2023

Hello to all members, passers-by, curious onlookers, and shy lurkers, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


Today's Question: No question today.


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

I did 2 rows on the drop stitch shawl and suddenly remembered I had a fic due that I hadn't started yet. I am very happy to say that I wrote the fic and got it posted to AO3 and the story_works comm with 2 hours to spare on the deadline. Go me.

Woohoo, well done! I never seem to get anything done for story_works. Last week was all about the fan_flashworks amnesty, and today I'm hoping to finish something very adult for BBTP.

Yay for getting some crafting done as well.

Thanks. I always forget about story_works and they're one of the few places I play that don't do amnesty (or very rarely anyway) so it's extra satisfying I got something done.

Hope you were able to finish something for BBTP!

Thanks!

I did! I mean, it was really last minute, didn't write it until yesterday, but it's done and posted so I'm happy =)

I always make a note of the story_works challenge, but it gets lost in the shuffle.

[spiralicious]

Yay! You got it done!

Their generally long deadlines are a blessing and a curse that way. I wish they would do a regular annual amnesty, like they did a few years back.

[badly_knitted]

I did! I dusted off something I started in 2018 and added another 1300+ words.

You could always contact the mods and ask. You never know!

Awesome!

Very true

Go you indeed!

Thanks :D
