I think I may have a plotbunny infestation....

[jinxed_wood]

My Highlander ficathon fic is now posted over on hl_flashfic. It's called A Little Like Fate, and it's a 'gen' Rebecca fic (historical).

I seem to have got my writing groove back on. In addition to my new In Plain Sight stuff, and my hlh_shortcuts sign up, I'm seriously considering writing a story for the dw_femslash ficathon...

Somebody stop me now.

Liked the Highlander story, Rebecca doesn't get enough attention.

I think this is the first straight up Highlander story I've written with absolutely no Methos - so strange!

*Feeds the plotbunnies*, the more fics the better :0)

Evil, evil bunny feeder - how would you like it if I suddenly started giving your bunnies midnight snacks!

Good luck finding them, they like to disappear at inconvienent times, for all that there are dozens of the little pests :0)

Awesome! Does this mean we'll get more of the Highlander/Firefly fic as well? *crosses fingers*

I've not decided about doing the dw_femslash ficathon - I'm not sure anything I wrote would be welcome.

I'm not sure anything I wrote would be welcome.

From what I remember, your problems with last year's ficathon had more to do with a series of unfortunate events! You can't do much to prevent the first incident (the other writer pulling out) but as long as your fic is a one off, rather than sequel, you can avoid the second problem handily.

Ah, go on!

I didn't have a problem with last year's dw_femslash ficathon. I *did* have a problem with this year's tardis_gen ficathon, though.

Last time I checked no one had signed up whom I know to be a regular reader of my fics, hence my feeling that I wouldn't be welcome. And to be honest, I'm fed up with writing fic and then having the recipient totally ignore it. I mean, yeah, I write for myself primarily even if I'm writing someone's prompt, but if I am writing someone else's prompt, I appreciate some sort of feedback from them - even if it's only an acknowledgement that I've posted it!

I don't know what to say to that, to be honest. On the one hand, I think it was rather shabby of the recipient to not leave a comment; on the other hand, maybe this ficathon is an opportunity to write for a readership that you don't normally write for.

The hlh_shortcuts ficathon kind of fills the latter box for me. I even wrote a m/m slash story for it once and, even though I got on a few readers goat as a result, I ultimately found it a rewarding experience.

Having said that, I have a brass neck when it omes to this sort of thing, and if you don't think you'll find the experience fun, then you shouldn't put yourself through that - but if you do, keep in mind that I'm signing up too, and we can hold each other's hands :-)
