a little outside the box

[tielan]

I didn't get assigned Avengers/Marvel for my Femmeremix. So this will be interesting! (Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die!)

Still stuck on not_primetime. I feel like I need someone to prod me for that.

I'm trying to decide if people putting down Maria or Maria/Steve in their requests but not actually mentioning either Maria or the pairing in their letter means it was a throwaway request and not something they really want and whether it's worth treating them.

Kind of tired and stressed and bleh and argh...

Just a thought - can you quick write some story that would be bare-minimum enough, and set it aside as a failsafe in case the story you want to tell doesn't happen?

[tielan]

I think I'm going to have to. The danger is that it'll be subpar. Actually, on second thought, I feel like too many of my stories with at least one of these characters is subpar. I may need to go read up on them a bit more...

[james]

Well, but subpar is kind of the point - it's better to have SOMETHING than nothing, so a story that is "good enough" is ready in case it's needed. I've been in fic exchanges for about 12 years and almost always the bulk of the stories are fine, okay, but not amazing. (And heck, someone always likes the story anyway!)

I have to go through a ton of fics for my assignment and not leave kudos on any of them. That's going to be tough.

Last I checked, only one person besides you requested Maria for NPT.

[tielan]

NOt necessarily NPT. :)
