[clarahow]

but I'm dropping out because I'm not gonna drop out

aka I have to do the thing called college and can't write for all the things at the moment

thank you my interwebs friends for your wisdom
swan_secrets naemi badly_knitted

Okay, going through all my COMMS *opens profile*

*Additionally, going to friend people I've talked to in comms.*

mine so duh I'm staying in the thing
claras_tables (mah tables stuffs) | femslashagenda (the most important of the things lmao) | firebyfiction (if I ever set up shop for cards stuff)

only open for a couple more months anyway
avland (inc. avlhero + helicarrier)

absolutely not leaving because I'm too emotionally attached / also fabulous ratio of friends and freedom to stress so there
100_women - just the one 100-prompt table | 1_million_words - many challenges, etc. | cap_ironman - tiny reverse bang | fan_flashworks - 10-day rotation: rewards for consecutive challenges (THE END OF THE WORLD DUE 8.1) | femslash100 (+femslash100100, even though I don't have a table now) | femslashbb - monthly challenges (SPACE ONE DUE 7.31) | gameofcards (by ext. afulldeck, allthesuits, buy_cards, card_fun, card_writing, cards_wild, cardwars, team_hearts) | ncis_drabble | peggysous | writerverse (+ team_prose, wv_bookclub, wv_library)

nice ratio of things v stress (tables, non-mandatory challenges)

The Bangs...both dropped. marvel_bang + ncis_bang (naemi I may still ask you to beta stuff if that's okay). Both stories still in progress, will be finished eventually. Will keep unposted until either finished or until other WsIP undergo significant progress.

EDIT: The Marvel Bang rough drafts aren't due until August 26. I'm going to keep that, at least for the time being.

The c_im_bigbang you don't have to sign up for, but you're counted as part of it if you submit a draft on time, so low-pressure.

Okay I have to head over to class but I'll continue editing this during break.

Post officially "finished" for 7.27. 153 comms now.

Don't try to stress yourself out love K

I think it's a good decision to let go of things that stress you out. A commitment just for a commitments sake is never taking you anywhere. I make clean cuts every six months or so, letting go of old prompts that simply didn't inspire me, for example, and although I still kinda feel guilty every time I do it, it's also very liberating.

Also, decluttering your fannish life will leave room for new things to explore once you feel like diving back in again.

And sure, I can still beta. My business is open all year round :o)

[swan-secrets.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to have been of use :D

Wow you are involved in a lot! There's some cool stuff there I didn't know about that if I have the time I'll explore some more.

I can't tell you how excited I am about your femslashagenda comm!

Be chilled out as you can and have fun, cause you are way awesome!
