Trying to decide whether to join this comm. If I do, it will be claiming either Jack Harkness (though I feel terribly selfish doing so) or the PGSM Shitennou (which I wouldn't feel too selfish doing), or both (if I'm mad). The aim would be to post one prompt a week, probably Sunday night. (Write faster, if I can, but posting one a week. Sunday night chosen so that you guys get Monday morning smut to kick off the work week and I get Monday morning comments to survive the work week.) Or, if I claim both and don't alternate, Jack gets Sunday nights and the boys get a random weeknight as schedule permits. In other words, random weekly (or twice-weekly) smut! Not sure yet whether I'd try to go in order.
Pros:
- Prompty porny fun!
- An excuse to generate lots of random fic with room to experiment.
- More fic = more for those who read.
- Continuing to see development in the sex writing aspect of my work, so practice will theoretically be good.
- Also, I think some of those prompts may push me out of my usual smut styles.
- PORN, WHEE.
Cons:
- 50. That's a lot. I already have a lot on my plate.
- What if I lose steam or fall out of the fandom I claim for? A prompt a week is almost a year! It'll be embarassing.
- Porny PWPs are not exactly something I need to work on. Plot and dialogue, more like it, not more of what I already do well.
- Both of those claims might have rules issues or other wibbles, and I don't think any other could generate a full 50 smutfics out of my brain as it currently is.
- Nobody seems to comment in the comm.
- FULL LITERARY DANCE CARD, DAMNIT.
...I feel like one of those incredibly poly people trying to decide whether they can handle a new relationship. o.@
Possible problem with claiming Jack: There do seem to be single-character claims on the comm, though it doesn't mention in the rules that they're allowed. But holy fuck do I feel big-headed and selfish claiming Jack fucking Harkness on a smut comm! Particularly when I'm this new to the fandom!
Possible problem with claiming the Shitennou: I would have to check the rules--if claiming a group means nobody outside said group can be involved in said smut, then I wouldn't claim them. If nothing else, I'll want a little Kunzite/Darkury in my life. ;) That aside, I feel like I've sortof been-there-done-that with the multiplication tables. Also v. limited readership.
Possible problem with my journal: What is it with my recent list fetish? o.O
