[Bunny #3] No.

[kalloway]

No. Nope. Not this time. Not today. Nah. I don't think so. Not a good idea. Got too much going on...

I am on pretty much ever fandom/community promo list I can find, because I really like new things and knowing what's going on in general. So yes, I see a lot of temptation. That's because there are a ton of great communities/bingos/big bangs/fests/etc. out there. I'm never going to say that you shouldn't sign up for any of them, just that moderation is a good idea, too.

When given the option, I am a huge fan of 'sleeping on it' or waiting a few days to see where I fall on the spectrum of 'uncontrollable excitement--|--can skip this one'. I'm actually surprised how many times I can safely delete a sign-up bookmark, wish the fest/big bang/bingo the best of luck and put that energy elsewhere.

How do you decide what projects to sign-up for? How do you decide what projects not to sign-up for?

This is also a weekly check-in! You do not have to check in, of course, but if you would like to comment on the last week, feel free! (And my apologies for it being a couple of days late.)

Ha -- my process for deciding whether to sign up for anything pretty much goes "does it have a deadline and/or wordcount minimum and/or set theme? -> LOL, NEVER HAPPENING."

Ahem.

Just saying, the only challenge/fest/etc ever that I've consistently succeeded at participating in is Porn Battle (because apparently it is made of MYSTERIOUS MAGIC), and even that just gets a tiny handful of pieces out of me.

(This topic is actually extremely timely, because I was this close to signing up for scifibigbang last night before forcing myself to -- indeed -- sleep on it. My only excuse is that I have a highly intimidating, languishing WIP in desperate need of some motivation. XD;)

The past week: er, we'd better leave that subject be. *cough*

I was so looking at scifibigbang and had it bookmarked and finally just told myself that it was a good idea for a year which is not this year.

This week will be a better week!
