Het BigBang Monday Update!

[hiddencait]

So my grand total as of last night was 13, 622 on "From the Last to the First" so considering my word cound when I sent out the call for inspriation was 10, 888 I made considerably progress. Not as much as I might have liked to but still that's 2735 words over the course of the weekend.

So, my plan is to have the first draft finished by the end of August so that I can get it to my beta and have plenty of time for any re-writes and polishing.

I did the math, and I can complete 25k by then if I pull off 495 words per day. I can do this. I KNOW I can do this.

OK, so I know at least one for sure, I want one of the scenes were all three: Hicks, Ripley, and Newt are curled up after one life or death moment. Pretty much just a "snuggles" moment lol

And then as for the others, I would love one each for my 2 primeval OC ladies, Cat Cheshire for the Alicex and Alison (no last name cuz I can't remember if Stephen told us what it was.. hmm) for The Surviving. I'm waffling between Shannyn Sossamon and Laura Fraser for Alison (amusingly both were in A Knight's Tale lol), and I have NO idea for Cat.. hmm

I actually haven't read any of these pieces of yours yet and definitely will need to do so now that I know they're there! Sadly, I've got two other things I'm betaing right now and a stack of graphics due. Can you tell me a bit about each of the women, both their mannerisms and their physical appearance? Sounds like you've got people picked for the Alicex and Allison. But what about Cat? If you tell me more about her, I can go hunting and offer up suggestions.

Yeah I need to just get around to crossposting them but frankly I'm lazy lol. They are on my ffn too though if you aren't in the mood to deal with LJ comms.

Cat Cheshire of my Primeval/Alice crossover: Cat is.. well.. delightfully batshit. All the Cheshires are dreamseers and they tend to operate on more senses than just 5 which makes them pretty out there. She's about the age of Duchess in the Alice movie, and is a tiny little thing with a mop of redbrown curls and big bright green eyes. Definitely manic with not so hidden damage that the Queen of Hearts inflicted before the Casino fell.

Alison is the girlfriend Stephen mentioned in Season 1, only she's the Alison from another timeline (operating on the multiverse theory for this one.. I think?) where she and Helen(who never cheated on her husband) are the only 2 members of Cutter's team that have survived the world pretty much ending as the time-migrating creatures have multiplied and just about taken over. She and Helen abandoned what was left and heading out into the anomalies, eventually found alternate timelines and versions of their loved ones and have been on a mission to save as many timelines as they can. So, lots of grief and more than a little co-dependent with Helen, also massive drive to protect any version of her lost family. She actually used to be dress pretty "posh" as she came from money and then ran away to college lol. But now looks like a survivor much like Helen. She's got short dark hair she hacked off with a knife when they went through the anomaly. That's why I'm waffling with those 2 models for her: can't decide how tough or former fashion model I want her to look ya know?

... I also contemplated Keira Knightly for Alison.. just can't decide.
