fic_promptly, writing communities

[lucathia]

I've been browsing Dreamwidth writing communities since LJ has been down quite a lot and I needed places to lurk, or else I'd have felt so stranded. Lots of awesome writing communities!

fic_promptly - prompt posts everyday, with lots of people pitching in prompts. I really want to write something for this. There's one Noblesse prompt that I would love to write, but I can't seem to get started, so I guess I won't be able to do it. :3;; Am still turning it around in my mind. Meanwhile... *tosses prompts at people* I hope someone writes some prompts I tossed in. I am kind of stirring up plunnies myself with these, haha.

hard_mode (video game big bang) is something I'd love to do... since 10k sounds doable for a Big Bang. XD; (10k is like... a very long oneshot!) I currently have no ideas for video game fics though, so... *mulls on this one* If I somehow write a video game fic over 10k before June, I'd join this. Unlikely that it'll happen though, since my writing commitments are now all over the place. (I'm still wondering if I can finish my NaNo by June and print it... maybe if I go back and edit/expand the first section and only print that section as a stand alone...)

no_true_pair looks so fun, but the current round has already started. I think I'll keep on eye on this community for the next round that's run this way. :3

As for my writing commitments... currently, I still have 31days_exchange to finish (I asked for an extension! Still, I better finish within this month...) and 30_kisses with Namiki/Kaichou (only 9 parts left out of 30, but my inspiration seems to have completely died. I already plotted out the rest last August, er, more than half a year ago. An earthquake was a major part of the plot, but now I feel it's more of a plot device than anything... I don't think I can write it in a meaningful way). I also want to work on my NaNo more and print it for myself, but eh, June deadline? That's just around the corner!

With so much I want to write... I think I'll end up writing nothing. :'D

I haven't been writing outside of fic communities and other people's prompts much. Mostly it's the deadlines that even get me writing anything at all. :'D I guess I need to feel pressured... even though it always stresses me out. XD;

Yeah, same same. I try to avoid things with deadlines though because then I feel bad not making them as opposed to feeling bad not writing the stuff that doesn't have deadlines pfft.

Fic exchanges I definitely make sure I can do. Would feel terrible disappointing a recipient! Communities with deadlines... er, I always barely manage to finish before the deadline. I don't think I've ever finished early before. Fic communities without deadlines are probably the best for my stress levels, but then I never actually write for them, ahahah... but yes, it is the same for me with deadlines and no deadlines types of communities. XD;;

Ha, I'd never want to risk it, so I don't do many fic exchanges/gift things. xD I wish there was a way to get the motivation of a deadline without actually having a deadline, lmao.
