Light this is so tempting, but I dunno if I can juggle this into my fanwriting cycle or not...

[ride_4ever]

Yeah, I empathize. I'm in the midst of writing a pinch-hit for a dS flashfiction exchange and I've got other WIPs on hold while I do the pinch-hit...but I'm deffo signing up for this summer thing because it's a NEW thing in dS and so I want to help give it a good start.

For me it's a bingo card challenge now that finishes June 11, and an overlapping rare male slash challenge, alongside a vidders bootcamp (my first foray into it).

Like, if it's possible to offer a fanmix or digital art (not like a manip, but something akin to cover art or flyers) I might go for it because I can do those relatively easily, but the rules only say "original, complete art, inked and/or colored", and I've seen that go both ways...


...maybe I should just ask the mod what's possible?

[ride_4ever]

Yep, when in doubt, ask the mod! *g*

[seleneheart]

Do I want to over commit myself? Probably shouldn't. Maybe I'll sign up to pinch hit or something.

[ride_4ever]

It would be excellent to have you "on board" as a pinch-hitter for the Summer Swap (say I while taking a few minutes away from today's dS bad!fic pinch-hit writing).

[juniperberry]

ooooooh. Ooooh, I'm...gonna have to think about this. You've seen my list of WIPs, I really shouldn't be thinking about this, but it is new and it seems neat...

[ride_4ever]

Come plaaaaay!

And maybe you'll get an assignment that could dovetail into one of your WIPs. Another fan who is going to sign up said they are hoping for that.

[juniperberry]

Hmmmm, I will think about it. I would like it if it did that, or if it dovetails with an idea I'm toying with but haven't really gotten around to writing yet.

[ride_4ever]

Your icon is perfect -- it looks exactly like Ray going "Hmmmm, I will think about it."

[juniperberry]

It was one of the rare times when an icon perfectly matched my thought processes. :D
