Any excuse to use my seasonal Halloween icons

Trick or Treat Exchange signups close tomorrow just before midnight UTC, in case you were considering a last-minute signup. Femslash Ex is also taking signups 'til the 25th.

I kinda burned out on exchanges a little bit this summer, but I'm enjoying my laid-back exchange schedule right now. I have one for Unconventional Fanworks, I'm doing ToT, and I have a no-pressure signup with Spook_Me. (Ooh, prompts for that are due out tomorrow!) The only other thing I'm doing this year -- unless I end up joining and/or running one of the single-fandom secret santas -- is Yuletide, for which I plan to request mainly small book fandoms (Matt Scudder will definitely be one of them; probably Alliance-Union as well).

I've been doing so many small exchanges over the summer that it's kind of exciting being in a big one and seeing so many requests for my fandoms. There are EIGHT(!!) for Defenders this time! I miiiiight be coming around on lumping the different shows together. It makes requesting it more complicated, since it's usually multiple sets of characters that I want, but it give it a stronger presence in exchanges than splitting it into separate shows; I also think it makes it more appealing for people who are into it in a more casual way to request it, especially in a character-based event like ToT, since they can just throw their faves in there ....

I love that your "laid-back" exchange schedule is only four (or possibly five) exchanges...

LOLOL. Well, in my defense, the Unconventional Fanworks one is something fairly different from my usual sort of thing (obviously I can't say what), and ToT will wrap up before Yuletide opens. It feels more laid back, anyway. XD

I'm already dithering over whether or not to sign up for Yuletide. On one hand, November/December is a really busy time school-wise for me. On the other, it's Yuletide, I'd love to participate at least once, and I've been collecting a couple minor fandoms that I'd really love to request, so...we'll see.

Yeah, I totally get that about not wanting to overload. And I also think that Yuletide feels a bit less special now that there are so many multifandom exchanges. It's fun, though, and I love being part of it; it's just so huge. And you know, even if you don't participate, you can still join in the Dec. 25 orgy of fanfic-reading!

Matt Scudder will definitely be one of them

OHO

Wait, there's requests for Defenders in ToT?? Nice! I keep planning to write more treats (since actually signing up for exchanges never works for me, sigh).
