[Bunny #3] Bunny Management
Just a reminder - this is your community, too. Feel free to use it to ask for advice, vent, commiserate, celebrate, etc.
So. We've been here all month. \o/ We have made our shiny lists and looked at our shiny lists and a few of us have possibly even despaired a bit over our shiny lists before remembering they are shiny lists of awesome things we're gonna write/draw/create/etc.
Let's talk about how things end up on those lists this week.
What makes you add a plotbunny/project/idea to your list and keep it there? Do you write mostly for bingos/exchanges/challenges? Do you take requests? What inspires you? Do you maaaaaybe keep a few more ideas than you should or realize they need a little (or a lot) more work to become a proper story?
And since we're at the last post for the month, it's time for list revision. You are free to look over your list and remove anything that you've realized isn't working for you. There is nothing wrong with keeping all your bunnies, of course, but it is also okay to let go.
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!
If you have a deadline coming up, you can do it! If you need a deadline, feel free to ask!

I'm find using Trello (mentioned here by another user) very helpful in keeping ideas and ideas organized. I even have a small board of things I've completed. So I can see a list of accomplishments.
I have posted 2 chapters this week. They were suppose to be for the same story, but since they were started 2 years ago my idea for the story has changed. So I posted the 3rd chapter, and started the 4th, for my story trying to progress that. And the other wrapped up I posted as a one shot (and my first go at smut ;p).

There is a great bingo card generator here that lets you enter your own prompts (separated by a comma) or choose from a number of pre-defined lists (some might even be some of your old bingo comms) - if you ever want to make a bingo card but can't find an active comm that inspires you. I love that you can choose the size of the card - so if 5x5 is a little daunting you can create a 2x2 card etc..
