Big Bang current word count: 40,568.
I hit the 40,000 word mark! Woo hoo!
I'm thinking final word count probably somewhere around 70,000 before it gets beta-read and edited and possibly shortened. I'm going back and writing in Teyla's story now, which is interesting; we really don't know *anything* about Kanaan, and I don't write het relationships. That said, I suspect it will be more about Teyla and the Athosians than Teyla and Kanaan (yeah, in this universe, they don't get kidnapped. The whole Michael thing? Stopped before it starts).
That aside, the story-line is currently cut off partway through the wraith and Rodney trying to fix the replicators. Then there's Miller's Crossing, but from Atlantis, since I have nothing new to do with the on Earth bit, followed by John and Cam *finally* getting to have sex, and not long after that I get to write the fight between John and Rodney that I've been wanting to write since I started, and my amendment to Doppelganger, where everyone gets nightmares about Cam. Not that I know what these will be yet. Oh, and Cam and Rodney stuck in a transporter together during Quarantine. Maybe. If it doesn't end up seeming too bad-comedy-movie-ish, which it might.
I can't imagine, now, why I thought I'd have trouble getting to 40,000 words. I'm just grteful it's not a maximum word count, at this point!
On the Open Source Boob Project (if you don't know what that is, keep it that way), I have one thing to say: no-one should have to opt out of being asked if a stranger can touch their breasts. If you don't know the answer to that, assume it's going to be no.
Actually, that isn't all I have to say, but I already ranted on three people's journals about it this evening, so I'm going to shut up in my own.

Anyway, it's Cameron and John for the first 40,000 words, it just takes that long to get beyond kind of flirting and some kissing to actual sex. They're difficult like that :(
