Why?

[mundungus42]

Because someone had to.

And I'm feeling no shortage of self-mockery, (ETA) despite the fact that I have not yet signed up for another exchange. I think it may be was only a matter of time.

But mostly because pokeystar sent me an evil filk bunny. That's how all the trouble starts.

I humbly present:

No? Sigh...

Be glad that you have more self-control than I.

[mundungus42]

I caved. And probably will do so again in the future. *hangs head*

[silburygirl]

*snoopy dance*

YES.

[mundungus42]

The organizers are very very very smart to have put a 5K word maximum on story length. That's what dazzled me. And then Luna tickled my toes.

[silburygirl]

That's what convinced me, too... 5K? Ha! I can do that in a few hours!

I hope...

The prompts are quite beguiling, too. I think there's only one sign-up that lacks a prompt that I'd enjoy writing, and my will/won't writing list pretty much precludes my getting that person anyway (unless it's on a pinch hit, for which separate rules apply anyway). The timing is actually pretty good for me, though the first two weeks of March are going to be insane. I'll need a nice Snuna writing escape after that.

[silburygirl]

I'm in the same boat... Very few prompts that I couldn't write a response to.

All of March is going to be insane for me. *whimpers*

[mundungus42]

*whimpers in solidarity* You'll still have almost half of April, regardless. Right? I hope?

[silburygirl]

And April = exam time... Fortunately, I'll only have... three of them, and my thesis defence!
