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:

I don’t want to be a writer bitter as tansy,
Not writing Ron/Pansy. What am I to do?

*POUTS*

All right. Be that way then...

*stalks off to sulk in corner...*

*tickles your lower lip back into place* I've taken the first step down the slippery slope. The sign-ups aren't 'til May, after all...

[harmony_bites]

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*does happy dance of joy*

I see you signed up for Snuna as well--and even said you'd do a pinch hit. You really have no resistance, do you?

Thank God!

I sing the song truly, don't I? :D I justified it to myself by looking at is as a 10K word commitment, tops. I can write that in a week. Well, a week in which I'm not doing symphony concerts or allowing myself to add extra gigs, but there's at least one of those during the course of the exchange! I think... *meeps*

Well, the minimum is actually a thousand words, so you could theoretically write just 2,000 words and meet your commitment. You do have at least one short story I know of, Down the Ferret Hole. *looks up* Of course that was 9,284 words....

My very first SSHG story was only 1,300 words long, and I have written a fully-formed 4,900 word story, so I _can_ be concice, I'm just not used to it :D Perhaps I could cut down on the word count by writing my whole entry (and pinch hit, if assigned) in rhyming couplets or a series of sonnets!
