For those who volunteered to take part in the fic exchange, if you haven't started writing something, please don't. If you have that's cool. I will work with your ideas but I do not need a fic in exchange (unless, like I said, you've already started.) The reason why I'm doing this is because, though the fic exchange is a fun way to get more stories out there, I always feel obligated to write the fic and get it up as soon as possible, especially if the other person has their story up. In other words, I always fee like there's a deadline.
Right now I'm trying to work myself up into writing an original story that I plan on making the next to be published, and right now getting motivated is slow going. I kind of realized this after I posted the fic exchange, as well as realizing that "maybe I should cut back on writing Fanfic." Not completely, of course, just not as much as I usually write so I can get all WIPs (like Wayfarers and the Thoughtcrimes fic) out of the way.
So I apologize to those who volunteered for the fic exchange. If you have a fic written or partially written, finish it out and the exchange will go as planned. If you haven't written anything yet, again, don't. I will use your idea but this way I don't feel like I need to hurry and get it up. (I forgot to say the other reason why I feel this way is because if I don't plan and write the story as soon as possible, I lose motivation to write it.)
