[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.)

I have over the last few years signed up for a bunch of challenges - big bangs and reverse bangs in numerous fandoms, bingos and other tables of prompts. I've also completed a good proportion of them. I never sign up for a reverse bang unless I'm absolutely certain I can get it done on time, but the others I have at times been far more liberal with my signups than was good for me.

Of the current 12 outstanding items on my list, 8 are in some way challenge related (1 outstanding prompt from 1 table and 4 from another). I have 1 big bang underway that is currently sitting at over twice the minimum count and is probably about 1/2 written. A further two are challenges that I would really like to do, but haven't fully committed to at this point.

I was looking at the scifibigbang in a 'being very tempted' fashion, but I am trying to resist, because really... I have more than enough to fill my time without trying to commit to anything else.

In the last week, I've written more than twice what I did the week before, but nowhere near enough to get me back on track or to finish anything.

I'll cheer you on for the next week! \o/
