So much for that “resolution” to cut down on exchanges

[syrena_of_the_lake]

I am SO excited to write for my NFE recipient! However, I may be a little too enthusiastic, because I have likely bitten off more than I can chew. And I plotted, which is practically unheard of for me.

Oh, and I may have also started a treat. Or two.

Oh, and I signed up for Remix. And Remix Madness.

... oh, and I may have nominated a few (cough 18 cough) of my favorite tiny fandoms and obscure characters for the Fandom Growth Exchange, and may be working on a signup for that.

I think I need an intervention.

Wait. What's the fandom growth exchange??

[syrena_of_the_lake]

I don’t know how I stumbled across it, but I nominated a few things and now I think I’m hooked.

https://fandomgrowthexchange.dreamwidth.org/

It’s a multifandom exchange for ultra-rare fandoms, relationships, and characters with ten or fewer complete fics (or five or fewer contributing authors) on AO3. Signups run thru the 29th? Fics due in October.

Come play? :-D

I think that one is a bit too rare for me! I'm not that creative! OTOH.... 6K into Star Husband and doing the dive into TLB AU, so there's that....

"And I plotted, which is practically unheard of for me." Hehe, I know that feeling. I always struggle when something plotty has to happen!

[syrena_of_the_lake]

And now I have discovered that when I plot *too* much, I sort of fiddle around listlessly instead of Making Things Happen — I guess it’s back to flying by the seat of my pants!

[marmota_b]

You flew extremely well, for the record. ;-)

And come to think of it, I look at all the connecting threads I'm juggling in my head in the background of published stuff with growing horror - it's very plotty and I basically have no idea what to do with it, only the vague impression that at this point, writing down my personal Narnian timeline would probably be a good idea...

This sounds like my academic writing problem. Right now I have two books going (one of which should be off my plate in two weeks), and also have two articles that I agreed to do over the coming year. Why? That's FAR too much and I know I'm going to hate myself for it later, but there are also good reasons for doing it . . .

I raise a glass to you in solidarity! (and commiseration!)
