Reasons to miss April - 1,2,3...
May. 6th, 2007 06:22 pmWeirdly, I found myself missing aprilfools for the first few days of May.
I didn't miss the stress of 'what's my idea today-what time is it-can I get this written and posted?' but I did feel as if there was something missing - I suppose 30 days is plenty of time to form a habit! My mind was completely blank of any fic ideas as soon as I'd posted on April 30th, but I've got an idea growing now for ds_shakespeare that's longer and more complex than anything I've written so far - although it's already moving away from the original prompt - so I reckon I'll need someone to beta for me this time.
I definitely miss aprilfools for the reading - guaranteed new fic every day! - but I'm enjoying going back and re-reading some of them as well as some older (and often longer) favourites without having the writing pressure in the background.
And another reason to miss April is that May in school is just sucky. Tests, tests and more tests - aaargh!

Date: 2007-05-07 07:35 pm (UTC)I love AU's, and smut is great - just email me when you're ready. The deadline's only a vague thing, nothing to worry about. My own three fics are 1)Fraser/Kowalski, NC-17, more smut than plot, really. It involves bondage and possibly dildos, so if that's a squick for you then you can choose between 2) a Dief-centric piece that is going to read a bit like a fairytale and involve a bit of Fraser-Vecchio in the background, or 3) A looooooong and involved plotty first-time Fraser/Kowalski that I suspect will never actually get finished. I'd only ask you to beta one, obviously, and hit up my flist for a beta for the other two. When they are finally finished...*sigh*
