Meh, you work at your own pace. That's the beauty of fanfic, only as much pressure as you want. KMM is lovely and low pressure while I am completely insane and love to freak myself out with Festivals that have DEADLINES. I swear that one of these days I am gonna quit the fests but like every other junkie that ever lived, I never do it.
I can handle it, I am in control...yeah, right.
Don't feel bad about the pace you write at, your stuff is worth waiting on!
Anyways, I just find it crazy how fast time flies now. When I was younger I was SO aware of how much time would pass between increments of writing. But as I've gotten older and busier, two weeks can fly by and I'm blind sided! It's like "oh hot damn, if I don't update soon, people will think I've died! GOGOGO!" ... And you're right about the pressure thing. I'm used to short deadlines, so maybe my brain automatically looks at this as a bother and freaks out, even though I quite love writing fanfic. It's a wonderful escape, even if I write most of it in public places (Starbucks, airplane, etc), while looking fishy and awkward, haha.
Anyways, are there any fun festivals you'd best recommend?! I've never been part of a fanfiction community. I wrote fanfics when I was younger, but it was a much more individual act - though I always liked the idea of being a part of something

Hmm...you've actually missed the sign up deadline for most of the ones currently going. Right now, most of the Merlin fandom is gearing up to do (or already is halfway done with) paperlegends. Reading wise, camelotremix is currently posting and that one's been fun as hell to read.
There is a weekly drabble/ficlet comm- camelot_drabble. Every Friday we get a new prompt, you comment on the entry to sign up and then you turn in your fic of 100-10000 words by Tuesday night.
I pimp almost everything that comes along so if you check your flist, anything I come across, I post.
Sorry you caught us in a bit of a lull between sign ups and posting for a few fests!
