What Was I Thinking?

[geeklover80]

I seem to have a disease in signing up for too many fests. Last year I had so many fests I was signed up for, that seemed to overlap, for much of the year. The summer, especially, was my busiest time. But this year, some of them didn't come back (yet), or came back later, so I didn't feel so bogged down. This summer I only had summerpornathon and aftercamlann (and I still managed to mess that one up.)

But all of a sudden there are so many interesting fests and I feel like I've signed up for all of them. It's definitely going to be a busy time the next couple of months trying to get everything done (which I'm determined to do.)

First I've got a rough draft due for teenwolf_bb on Sept. 17.
Then there's aftercamlann amnesty week Sept. 23-30.
Then there's Gluttony Remix, a mini-fest for my team from summerpornathon that's due on Oct. 3.
After that I have some time before my Teen Wolf Fall Harvest fic is due on Oct. 31.
But then I have a few things due around the same time. There's merlinmpreg which you can pick your own posting date, that's from Nov. 1-15. I have reel_torchwood on Nov.15 and then the next day it's the final draft due for the Teen Wolf Big Bang.

There's also another Teen Wolf Big Bang I'm doing, but the rough draft for that's not due until January. And even with all that due in Nov, I'll probably sign up for merlin_holidays which, if it holds to last year's schedule will be due around Thanksgiving.

All this, with wedding planning to do. So I say I am definitely insane. But I have a lot of story ideas I'm excited about, so it's not all bad.

Uh oh. I hope you get your Get Your Words Out story done in time.

LOL. At one point during the day for the last two weeks I've sad that the idea of eloping sounds better and better.

Thanks. I'll try to.

Oh wow! I usually have already problems with one or two challenges on my plate. And you have so many. So... good luck! I hope you have fun with them nevertheless:)

I usually try not to have so many at one time, but I just couldn't help it this time around.

Thanks.

Enjoy writing :D
I think it's cool even though I personally probably could never do it. I can't for the love of god write under pressure :D

[geekslave.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I don't handle pressure well either, but I usually sign up for fests because I need that push to get writing.

Yowza! The important thing is that you enjoy it! It kind of makes me happy that reel_torchwood is still going on. Good luck with all your projects.

[geekslave.livejournal.com]

It's stressful at times, but I usually enjoy it once I really get going.

I'm happy that it's still around, too. I don't write Jack/Ianto or have the urge to much lately, but I always love any kind of reel fest.

Thanks!

Busy bee! That's a lot!

Definitely! Like I said, crazy. :)

You're going to have to write like the wind! LOL.

That was basically me last year. I signed up for ALL THE THINGS but after I got done with Remix earlier this year I haven't signed up for anything since. It's been soooo nice not to have deadlines, although I haven't written anything since Remix so maybe I need those deadlines. hahaha. When I signed up for Merlin RPF yesterday I was surprised to realize it was the first thing I've done since Remix.

[geekslave.livejournal.com]

Yep. :)

One of the reasons I sign up for fests is because I need the push of the deadlines to write, even though I still have the procrastination problem.

Good luck with the Merlin RPF. I would love to do that fest, but don't want to add anything else to the list.

Good luck with everything! It sounds like a lot but if you're excited about your ideas I'm sure it will be fun :D

[geekslave.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I hope they come out as well once I get them down.

Bloody hell! I'm in awe by the amount you've signed up for - I hope you get aaaaallll the writing done! I've just signed up for the 00QReverseBang and am planning on signing up for Merlin_Holidays as well ... I think that's my limit!

[geekslave.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Good luck with your fests. I hope you get a spot for Merlin_Holidays.

Happy writing! Hope all the wedding planning is going well.

Thanks!

Wedding planning has been full steam ahead, and hectic, for the last couple of weeks, but getting a little better.

You're probably better off than I am. Though I hope you find some good fests soon. Thanks!
