[Bunny #3] No.

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.)

For huge prompt fests like AreYouGame, I tend to copy all the prompts I think I might want into a document, then winnow them the next day, and the day after, and the day after that. Usually I find that the things that made me sparkle at first are things I want to read, but not necessarily to write.

This week I got all my contributions for Kiss Battle (FF and Dragon Age) posted up! I was proud of that.

That's a really good method and I'm trying it for gen_battle.

\o/ That's awesome!
