your card looks fun! i'm tempted to sign-up, but i have such a lousy track record with these sorts of things. of the good: at least i know that about myself now!

There are a couple of squares that I'm dying to dive into, but so far, I'm not seeing a clear bingo that I want to go for, which is what I always forget when I go for one of these things so I haven't quite gotten to your self-awareness. Still--royal AU! ::plots::

i know, right? there's almost always that one square to make a bingo that really doesn't call out to us at all! but as you say, ROYAL AU. so much fun!

Okay -- talk me into/out of the trope bingo. Why (not) do it, given that I'm already signed up for couples bang, be_compromised will likely run a Valentine's promptathon and a Secret Summer, I have a WIP on hiatus in my "other" fandom, a plotbunny hopping through my head ("an hour in the head of a killer"), Chapter 5 of "Manhattan" to finish, my husband wanting me to start writing "original stuff" and we may be staring a transcontinental move in the face in the summer?

Other than that, it looks like fun.

pfffft, RL....

No, this is good--you're writing for yourself, so you don't have to stress about letting someone else down; the minimum word count is only 500 words; and there's no reason you can't double up and write a story that works for more than one challenge. I think the deadline is May 15? something like that (you can tell I'm not terribly stressed over this, right?)

Cool card! I'm thinking of signing up for that one, too. In the hopes that it would push me into writing something different than I usually write. Or give me an excuse to write more fuck-or-die.

hah, I know what you mean--chosen family has been my motto through untold number of fandoms! But now there's an official excuse to write it, yay?
