Fred ,'Just Rewards (2)'
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
I offered up 18 fandoms to write in this year, and for half, I strictly limited which characters I would write for.
For requests, I listed two books, one comic, and one manga/anime. It was tough trying to whittle things down, and I have a feeling that my character requests for one of them will pretty much mean that I won't be getting that story.
I offered 30 fandoms this year. Apparently I'm feeling more reckless than last year.
...dude, you're making me feel inadequate.
I offered 9.
But one of them was entirely on crack. I could do it, and it would be fun, but I'm mostly shocked that it even made the list. So.
...dude, you're making me feel inadequate.
A lot of them are books. Several others are musicals.
I think I listed 27, but I might scale that back to 20 before the deadline is over.
I kind of want to sign up for the Sports Night holiday exchange, but I can't decide if I'll really regret it come December.
How much longer do I have to dither about signing up for Yuletide?
Till Sunday, I think.
I printed up a list of fandoms I might consider writing for so I could look it over and winnow it down. It's got 80 or so on it. This winnowing is going to take some time (meanwhile, I'm asking for the two I always ask for!).
I almost wish people hadn't signed up for so many, since it makes it hard to tell what the need really is -- there aren't exactly 24 writers for random semi-obscure fandom, there are more like (let's say) 5 people who signed up for 3 fandoms (5/3) plus 5 people who signed up for 10 (5/10) plus 3 who signed up for fifteen plus 2 who signed up for 20 plus 5 who signed up for 30 -- 5/3 + 5/10 + 3/15 + 2/20 + 5/30 = 2 and 2/3 writers.
Okay, not really. But you know what I mean? Not that it should really affect my decision. But it does. Er. Someone remind me to sign up?
I have no idea what Emily just said.
But I really don't take need or supply into account when I offer fandoms. I was interested to see how many people do when the subject came up on the comm.
