Writing and Exchanges

No progress on my longfic (surprise, surprise), but I have been working on my Yuletide fic, and it’s currently being betaed. Hopefully, I’ll end up writing a treat as well, but my mood is kind of down even though I love the requests I’m eyeing and even though Yuletide is my favourite exchange.

In sum, I think I need to step back a bit when it comes to exchanges. I participated in five events this year (not counting treats), which is a personal best, but also, kind of a mixed bag, all things considered. Since I’m into small fandoms almost exclusively, there’s very few exchanges I can participate in without ending up as a lingering PH. I don’t mind that happening occasionally, but I probably won’t do [community profile] fandom5k again after holding up the exchange for ages, even if I ended up getting a great story in the end. The wank was not fun and I don’t need a repeat of that.

So, in light of the fact that there’s very few exchanges that are big enough for my tiny fandoms to not matter (just one, since [community profile] chocolateboxcomm isn’t running this time), and there being basically only one exchange left that does my preferred matching preference (characters, no ships), I think I will just do Yuletide next year. And maybe [community profile] fandomgiftbasket, but that’s not an exchange.

Fwiw, someone stepped up to fill in for the chocolate box exchange at [personal profile] candyheartsex, with rules mostly similar! Nominations open up next week, we'll see if it gets as big and small-fandom-friendly... :)

Congrats on the Yuletide progress! :D
