Gentle advice for the athletic
Oct. 22nd, 2006 09:29 pmWhen practicing some sort of hold that is not aerobic but requires one to hold a position for a time, do not sing Barrett's Privateers. It makes the whole endeavor seem even more interminable than it in fact is.
ETA: I am staring at my 3 ships signup, not because I don't know what to offer, but because I don't know what to request. I've written 23 threesomes (and one foursome, heaven help me), and, okay, ten of those were Clark/Lois/Batfamily drabbles, but that means the other 14 were articulated stories. I've done stuff that was hard to pull off, stuff that really didn't make sense, and stuff I believe with every bit of my being. Within the bounds of this fandom, I have no idea what I trust anyone else to write for me. I am not sure whether I am too picky, too apprehensive, or too focused on what I can get. 'tis better to give than to receive, sure, but I can't sign up to pinch hit for this challenge; the timing is off.
Does anyone else have this problem with story challenges? I know what I can do, how much I can stretch, and what I think I can do justice to, so that part of the signup is relatively easy. Unfortunately, I have no idea who's going to get my request, and I am afraid to make it too hard for whomever it is. I've gotten some really stellar stories in this kind of challenge, but I've been lucky in those instances. I don't know what's easy enough and still within the bounds of what I actually want.
