Totally succumbed to peer pressure. *G*

I will wonder what I got myself into only after I finish the not yet started Aina. *hangs head*

Hee! I can sympathise. My SV fic from earlier this year was just over 3,000 words and the second-longest fic I've ever written. :D

I have... some vague notions. I'm still not quite 100% settled on the pairing (though I do love my choices). If I could at least do that then I could poke ideas better, likely. Oi. My brain, sometimes.

I don't think I've written a properly short story in a long time and I miss it. The swap fics have a tendency of growing - if you keep doing it, the longer they'll get. So next year, maybe 6k?

I have a set pairing and no particular plot request. Which in theory sounds cool, but in practice means I don't have any direction to head into...

I wouldn't mind getting used to writing longer fics. I've always kind of cursed my sparse-ass writing style that contributes toward my fics being so short. (That, and my somewhat deficient plotting skills.)

Which in theory sounds cool, but in practice means I don't have any direction to head into...

I know exactly what you mean! I'm right there with you, too. I have a choice of pairings & genres, but no starting point. And it's difficult to yank an idea out of my queue of stories-I'd-like-to-write because, well, it's for someone else and I want it to be as much just-for-them as possible.

Do the second pairing and the genre that suits them best :) :)

Mine? Not started yet. Assignment - do not like! I feel so guilty about the recipient, I can't see this turning out well.

I adore the second pairing. ♥ I'd just need to figure out what to do with them that isn't the same thing everyone else does with them. Hee.

Eep, that's difficult. -_- It's one thing to work with an assignment that's outside your normal writing 'thing', but another to try to wrestle with one you dislike altogether. I hope something great comes out of it regardless. ♥

Oh, there's always an angle :D And if there isn't, then there's still the fact that everyone writes that same old thing differently.

Good luck *hugs*

I can hope for that. *pokes brain*

Merci! And same to you. *sends good writing vibes*
