BOB BONUS SUNDAY

[kinky-kneazle.livejournal.com]

I feel like I'm on the shopping channel going "But wait, there's more!" That's right, it's another bonus day!!!

Sunday, April 29 is OLD THINGS DAY!!!

Old things day? You don't need to sound so much like Snape when you say that. Yes, it's old things day, otherwise known as REVISION DAY! For all revision activities, you will get DOUBLE POINTS!!!

What counts? Beta-ing, revising your own or others work, editing of podfic or fic, and colouring of art.

What doesn't count? New things of any sort will only garner regular BOB points, except for...

Yes? Except for? Don't leave us waiting! Except for this!

Sunday, April 29 is also FINISHING BONUS DAY!!!!

Another Finishing Bonus? Yup! We'll double all finishing bonuses on Sunday. Want to know why? Because we CAN!!! Personally, I have two things to finish on Sunday, so wish me luck!!!

How do I claim? Comment here before the end of Monday, April 30th, with your revised things count and your things finished today record and we'll do the rest!

Anything else I should know? YES!!! READ HERE!!! Don't forget that this week is 8 days long. There is no need to do the main check-in on Sunday/Monday - the final check-in is Monday/Tuesday and will include everything done since last Monday. And Monday is the last day of BOB!

And if I have a question? Come see me, kinky_kneazle or curiouslyfic and we'll get it sorted.

Dudes. Dudes. I have a 40k fic to Brit pick for Beltane. This is going to be EPIC.

[kinky-kneazle.livejournal.com]

No revising or beta-ing today, but I did finish a 1300 word fic. YAY!!!

[thisgirl-is.livejournal.com]

QUESTION: I have been arranging a newsletter - basically desktop publishing, layout etc, with a little editing. Does this count as 'Revised things', and if so can I count it in time rather than words?

Thanks, darlings!

Translated 980 words = 6 points

Faaaar from finished :(

Edited because I just realised it´s only 6 points. Should totally be worth 9 points, though. It took me five hours, the stupid legal gibberish.

[tryslora]

In-depth beta of um... 8700 words. Not sure how many points that's worth (sorry, soooo brain dead).Tired now.

[deirdre-aithne.livejournal.com]

1 hour revising own words

Go snidget!

[sdkshelly.livejournal.com]

Did a lot today but not much that can be counted for this. Still checking in for...

Revising = 1hr

Team Billywig, yay!

Beta work for another author: 1500 words (4 hours)

[singlemomsummer.livejournal.com]

Okay, get ready. To make up for the fact that I was sick ALL WEEK and barely got anything done I begged my authors to send me stuff for beta today and they did. Then I started at midnight and busted butt with very little sleep or family time because dammit, I wanted to get these points. I have now taught myself how to do an in depth beta and critique very quickly, lmao.

Beta words 33,732 rounded to 33,750/250 = 135pts!!!!! (doubled for today means 270 OMG)
Finishing bonus over 4 fics 10 hours = 10 points (doubled for today means 20 points)
And modly duties 1 hour = 1pt not doubled.

SO IN TOTAL I earned 291 points TODAY!!! I kind of can't believe it but I have the exhaustion to prove it. So, without further ado I'm going to go crash now!

TEAM BILLYWIG RULES!

(edited to make it easier to understand, points counting for bonus day = 145)

For Team Acro: I didn't get any "old things" done, but I did finish a 1300 word essay! \o/

[imera.livejournal.com]

Ok, so my revision count is 4 hours (yay)

Now, I finished something, but I have no idea how it's going to count.
For once I opened photoshop and manipulated cover art for a story of mine. I spent 6 hours on it total, and finished it as well (one of the few times I finish something in one day). So how do you count manipulation? is it colouring?

team hinkypunk :D or like the tiny mistake last week, kinkypunk XD still find it amusing :D

[winterstorrm.livejournal.com]

Beta'd - 6,500
Revised - 10k
New words - 4k

[talekayler.livejournal.com]

Okiedokie, Snidget reporting.

Things betaed: 9856 + 4839 = 59pts
New words: 250 = 2pts (not doubled, but putting it here for my records)

Also, may be late for checking in on Monday on account of me using all the internet for watching MLP and Suits researching very important things. ALSO also, why is everything I seem to be working on so long? I'm not going to finish anything by tomorrow!!

Team Hinkypunk!

3 hours revising
Finished: 100 word drabble, Cool Down (http://sophia-clark.livejournal.com/17859.html) & ^6,000 word anon fic for the harrydracompreg fest. :)

[k-nightfox.livejournal.com]

Saw Sunday was revision day so I skipped revising on Saturday so I could get it in on Sunday ;-)

Bonus stuff:
Finished a fic, 2,051 words
Revised for 5 hours

Edit: For Team Acromantula

And might I add a "thanks so much!" for that finishing bonus carrot you dangled before us? That lil 2k fic of mine's been languishing since January to get revised and finished! You lit a fire under my under-motivated butt ;-)

[starduchess.livejournal.com]

Team Spiders for Sunday Bonus:

2 hours typing up and editing my new ficlet Waves (2K words)
finished Waves, posted at my LJ here: http://starduchess.livejournal.com/105421.html

[crazyparakiss.livejournal.com]

FINISHED 5k of fic! :D

Added 1 k to old stuff.

Modded for an hour.

Checking in for Bonus Sunday:

1,300 words beta *eyes kneazle*

[khasael.livejournal.com]

Beta'd a rounded-down 29,750 words (3 fics) for other people.

Revised 32,500 words (give or take 100) of my own.

Also, two of those beta jobs were finishing projects (14,000 words, between the two). Does finishing beta jobs count? If so, I have no idea how to count those points D:

Also finished a non-fic thing (a research-paper-like thing) that was 8 pages/2,766 words. No idea how you want to count that.

Edited someone's 11 page, 3,550 academic research paper (woo, last few weeks of the semester for local colleges). Not a lot of words, but ugh, the effort involved. Another project finished.

...I have no idea how many points this all is. I am so, so sorry. *falls down on knees and grovels and offers cupcakes or fruit tarts or brownies*

20k beta. - 80pts x 2 = 160
finished beta, 20k. - 20pts x 2 = 40
4.5 hours revise own words. - 9 pts x 2 = 18
finished revision, 4.5 hours/ 21k. = 21pts x 2 = 42
2 hours art. - digital art, 4pts
finished project 2 hrs. 2pts x 2 = 4pts
593 new words. (rounded to 500)- 4 pts

total = 272 pts. I think.
