A Battlestar Big Bang?

I'm gauging interest in doing a Battlestar Galactica (2003) Big Bang. Recently I've been involved in several Harry Potter Big Bangs but I haven't seen one for Battlestar yet. (This doesn't mean there isn't one out there, just that I haven't run across it.) So if you could take a minute to fill out the poll below, I'd really, really appreciate it.

ETA: Ok, I am a dunce and missed that there was already a BSG Big Bang at bsg_bigbang. However, since it's winding down, I am still really thinking about doing this, and am more swayed in the Pilots! direction.

ALSO! If you happen to be on any Battlestar themed comms or lists, or if you have a very BSG-centric flist, I would love you forever if you could post a note, link, etc about this so that I can get this to a larger section of the fandom. THANK YOU!!!

(If you aren't familiar with a Big Bang fic fest, the basic premise is that authors sign up to write a long fic - usually there's a 10,000 to 20,000 word minimum - and they all get posted in a big "bang" of fic at the end of the process. You aren't writing for someone else, so you have free range (within the theme of the Big Bang) to decide what you're going to write. Usually, there are several months between initial, non-binding sign-ups when you write a rough draft to turn in, and then a couple months after that draft is turned in to polish it and turn it into a finished piece. There are often art, fan-mixing, and vidding sign-ups associated with the project so that everyone has a chance to do something.)

Things, Stuff, and That Other Thing...

I've had a week. I have a sneaking suspicion the next one won't be a lot better from that standpoint, though it certainly has the potential of being better in some areas. (The part I'm not quite so encouraged about is the part that would be roll-over from this week.)

I washed out of the writing round of startrekbigbang, and am about to do the same thing with the polybigbang unless the word-fairy helps me out with a miracle today. I really hate that, because to me it means I wasn't on the ball and was procrastination girl and therefore it's my own damn fault. I do that with way too many things.

There are big weeks going on over at whedonland and legendland and in both cases, they snuck up on me and now they're in full swing and I don't feel like I have a good grasp of what's going on, how it works, or what I should be doing. Therefore, when I run across those posts, I feel sort of like you would imagine someone would feel running alongside a train who's steadily increasing it's speed as it leaves the station.

The main reason for that is, quite simply, I've had a bad week. I haven't slept well (by which I mean that I've either fallen asleep before I meant to, and therefore in a weird position and done that thing where you keep waking up just enough to know you need to move, but not enough to *actually* move, or I've fallen asleep ok but woken up incredibly stiff, sore, and tired. It's not unusual, but a week and a half (or more) in a row of it is very draining. And when my energy gets low (it doesn't take a lot, I don't have much to begin with) then I get very muddle-headed. Like VERY muddle-headed. Like, I can't read a paragraph (or sometimes a sentence) without fading out on it and not understanding what's going on or what it's saying. I'm in no way, shape, or form a stupid person, but that level of tired makes me into one, and I really sort of hate it. Caffeine can only do so much, and I have to watch how much of that I have anyway.

In completely other news, I'm now the Secretary for the Board of Whedonites United. There's all sorts of stuff surrounding that giving me stress, but I feel a really strong calling to do more in terms of fandom community organization to help fulfill that side of my job as a priestess to Dionysus. I do a lot of the religious stuff already, but fandom community has been neglected for the last several years.

Oh, and the husband just enrolled (today - well, yesterday, now) in Massage Therapy school. I'm really quite proud of him, and overall am very pleased with this turn of events. We have to meet with the Financial Aid office there next week, and classes start the middle of next month. Hopefully he'll be able to get financial aid and hopefully anything that doesn't cover his family will be willing to help out with. But this should - no, this *WILL* open up a lot of opportunities for him both now and for his (well, our) future. So I'm pleased and hopeful.

Tomorrow (Today) is Rosh Hoshanah, so I'll be busy all day helping kadollan get ready, and cook, and so forth.
