Well mine might've turned out longer, I don't recall, but the minimums weren't that high.But starting in June for a September deadline should be plenty of time. That's the beauty of big bangs, they have a long writing period.
Ha well, everyone works differently re. pacing? But basically I always start out most inspired by my idea early on, so I spit out as many words as possible as fast as possible. That way when my pace inevitably slows down I already have a good portion written. YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY. My personal writing techniques are generally considered weird and ill-advised at best.
Having a beta in on the process early on definitely helps– that way you don't wind up with awful gaping plotholes in like your first 2k that fuck up everything else later on. That's essentially what I did for my inception_bang fic; I checked in with one beta every 5k or so, and then had the completed thing read over both by her and another beta who was coming to the whole thing fresh.
It sounds like something I'd dig, you know how I love seeing Theo in fic, so I'd be willing to beta for you. I don't have anything else on my plate at the moment, so hopefully I can keep the turnaround time pretty quick.
