Morning Update

[smittywing]

So, a pigeon just flew out from under my desk when I sat down. FAIL. As soon as the heart palpitations stop, I'll go back to yesterday's post and start answering comments - it never fails that as soon as I start a discussion on something either my internet goes out or I sick. I'm awesome like that.

Speaking of, yesterday's post always has

Comments

I have to admit that I am less than fond of the comment posting aspect. I find it hard to browse and read, and am less likely to read commentfic than fic posted in entries proper. :/

What she said. I only read commentfic when people point me to it specifically, and even then I grumble under my breath as I do.

Fortunately, most people will repost something they wrote for a fest in their own journals, cleaned up and sometimes expanded - unless they're embarrassed and don't want to 'fess up to it.

That's true, but then it's posted like regular fic. With fests around themes I like that are posted in a comm for example I'm more likely to give a story a try. Like that het_idcrack thing for example. That had prompts in comments to collect ideas, but then the responses are posted in entries.

Unfortunately, I don't have the time right now to do something that complex. I figured a comment fest would be easy for me to administer and easy for writers since there's no minimum length and no commitment beyond "you see it, you like it, you write it," but if there's not enough interest, then that's even less work for me.
