Clips From My WiP Files - Eagle Fandom Style
The other day I began to notice that a lot of my flist was switching over to Avengers fandom, and I started worrying about what that would mean for the Eagle fandom. In the midst of all of that worrying, I realized how little I've actually contributed to Eagle fandom in the past ...oh, say, forever

Have you thought about participating in some of the challenges that are coming up at ninth_eagle? I think having a set deadline will really give me the kick in the ass I need to actually finish a fic. And, like you, I want to keep this fandom alive as much as possible, because I still LOVE it and I still LOVE Esca/Marcus and I don't see that love dwindling any time soon.
And please don't let my or anyone else's fills to prompts stop you from posting yours! WE LOVE MULTIPLE FILLS, PUCK, YOU MUST KNOW THIS.

It seems a bit lower stress (so it won't trigger my anxiety as much, fingers crossed), and since my in-laws had moved the vacay up so that it had been last weekend instead of the upcoming one, I'll be available to see the prompts right as they show up.
I've also been considering the eagle_rrb, since I'll feel more like I have to finish so I don't let someone down, and since it'll only be 3k, I should be able to figure out something. My only concern for that is how id-driven my stories are, so the idea of trying to write for someone else's kinks can be hard - some of my favorite pieces ever were written for exchanges and similar challenges, but they've also caused some ( ... )
