I'm still writing in this fandom, although in one story really. No where as prolific as you (seven?! I'm jealous!). I've not been on LJ or Tumblr for any fandom. RL snuck up on me. Writing takes up most of my fannish time.
Off the top of my head, I can't think of what we can do or I would like to see for this comm. Maybe an art fest? Visuals are always lovely. Big bangs, while fun, it's hard to get enough to commit to (for lots of fandoms these days). Maybe a quickie word of the week prompt? I try to do a weekly one with my writing partner to keep me writing and it's been fun. I think if we can just write the fic in the comments, it's not so intimidating a length. Sort of like the kink prompt memes I see pop up on LJ.
YAY!!! Good things to mull over. I do have a thought for a challenge on inspiration, I'll try to get my thoughts together and post the idea this weekend and see if there is any interest.
Prolific, no, its all old stuff that somehow I forgot to post here /o\ I'm now down to 6.
Btw, I read book 1, actually it was the draft you sent me. I read it on the plane when I went on vacation. Afterward I realized it was the draft and want/need to read the posted version, and will jump into book 2 once its complete - meaning YAY keep writing *\o/*

LOL, you're too sweet. Thank you for giving it a chance. 99.99% of why I'm not writing much is because all I'm doing is writing book 2 and my pro novel. Really, if my brain would let me write shorter, I could post more variety. Instead it's Reconstruction all the time. You may think prolific or not. but the fact you have a few fics in your backlog that are DONE makes me wring my hands in envy! :)
Trade you: my twins, my cats, my hubby, my job, the 37 homework papers to correct for your backlog! LOL
No don't apologize! Long epic fics are wonderful!!! I'm just horribly bad at setting time aside to dig into them. Since I started writing, my reading level has dwindled. Fact is, I'm guilty and rarely read anything anymore except the occasional bits in kink memes or self-help books /o\
I'm really trying to change that, make time for writing, reading, sketching, and a long list of rl stuff outside of work- but that's also part of my problem, lack of organization! Trust me you wouldn't want to trade, but things are getting better.
So going with a comment meme, we'll see how that goes. Btw, if you can't write, maybe put up a few or a dozen prompts ;)
I like the idea of weekly prompts or a comment meme as well. I'm pretty bogged down right now with fic in another fandom, but something quick and short might be fun to do for a change of pace. d8rkmessngr, does that mean we should expect book 3 at some point? :DDD *attempts to bribe you with chocolates*
Comment meme it is - & yes I'd like a chance to write either a drabble, snip or ficlet, but nothing longer! Btw, your other fandom is SPN's bigbang, yes? Me too. Although I need to jump past a sex scene as its starting to stall me. Even if I don't finish this in time for the draft due date, I just want it done so I can move on to something else ;)
Yep, I'm working on a J2 fic for the BB and a shorter Dean/Crowley fic for meanttobe. (In retrospect, I shouldn't have signed up for meanttobe because my BB needs all the time I can give it if it's going to be readable.)
Skip the sex scene for now and write it later. I usually skip around like mad to write the various scenes that interest me, but then I have a big job in editing to add transitions and scenes I accidentally forgot.
