Tiny HSWC Lament
June 1st, 2014 07:45 amI wrote a ton for the first bonus round this year. I wrote sixteen fills just by myself, and since it's a struggle for me to write LESS than a thousand words, that comes out to somewhere in the neighborhood of 22-24k words or thereabouts. I was productive as fuck, and I'm pleased as hell.
But I know there were a handful of prompts I still really wanted to fill -- BroCronus exotic modeling, DirkCronus meeting in a club, SlickDualscar sushi business meeting, CronusKankri promise ring marriage deception -- and I'm bummed out that I'm not going to get to do them, now. And the thing is, I resigned myself to not doing them almost a week ago. My team has been close to the fill cap for a WHILE (we're at 34 of 35 fills right now, and two of my teammates have something in progress), and as much as I just love writing from good prompts, I don't want to burn out. I want to be useful to my team throughout the summer, not just productive for my own sake right at the beginning.
At least two of these prompts haven't gotten filled at all, and I sort of want to wave vigorously at the prompter like, I enjoy your idea! I think it is a good prompt! I'd like to write it, but maybe sometime later when I don't have other obligations!
I remember last year there being a remix round, or something, where the point was to remix fills from other rounds and fill prompts that never got done, and I really hope something like that is incorporated this year. I'd love to, in maybe two months time, get a shot at all the BR prompts that were passed over the first time through. It's just such a good feeling.
