Well, if we followed the recipe...should be cake. A demon-violence-free-zone cake.

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

...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?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

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.

I just don't want to offer too many (because I start having ideas about the story I might write before it's assigned, and discarding three or four is fine, but 15!) but would like to help out where it's needed. I just feel less needed when there are 2 requests and 80 offers, if you see what I mean.

Eh, whatever. I do appreciate the willingness to write in many fandoms.

I have no idea what Emily just said.

Just to clarify, though I'm sure no one cares --

t cut because it ended up being 8 lines long and NO ONE CARES
