And speaking of ...

[sholio]

That exchange I was talking about, defenderships - I've finally admitted to myself that I can't run it this spring. I DO still want to run it! Just ... not right now. It's not specifically a time issue; it's more of an organizational and mental space issue. I could participate in an exchange run by someone else, but I don't think I can handle the extra load of organizing/promoting/modding at the moment, not with everything else I'm trying to do and SSR Confidential too.

It IS something I wanted to do! And it was something I really wanted to do while enthusiasm was still high in the immediate post-cancellation period, before people wander on. On the other hand, a) I think that ship has sailed anyway, and b) Agent Carter is holding steady - I've generally had about the same number of signups in SSR Confidential for several years now, so I'm sure the people who are staying will stay, and interest will still be there when I manage to get myself together and actually do it! And right now I'm having to triage projects and work out what I can do and what I can't. Deciding not to do it was a load off my mind, so I feel that's the right decision.

At least I decided this before I actually opened up anything? Sorry for getting people's hopes up! I still plan to run an event of that sort, but I'm under a major mental workload right now getting my new pen name off the ground, and that was just Too Much.

My Jessica/Luke obsession isn't going anywhere -- if you feel it's something you can take on in the future, yay! And if it's not, that's cool, too.

♥ ♥ ♥ Yeah, I think probably at this point the urgency I was feeling earlier about doing something before enthusiasm evaporates has stopped mattering as much, because the people who are still in it are in for the long haul. I DO still want to do it! Just not while I'm trying to juggle this many things. (If such a time ever comes along ...) But I do have hopes of fitting it into the upcoming exchange season at some point, after SSR Confidential is over.

Aww, I'm sorry it's not running, but I do think this is the right call. There's nothing more unfortunate than modding when you feel reluctant before the event even starts XD

You have too many things on your plate to add to them. ♥

Yeah, all I felt was relief when I decided not to do it. I definitely want to run it at some point in the future, but not right now.

I might do some kind of smaller event instead, like another promptfest or something along those lines!

Totally understandable! I was actually worrying lately that I wouldn't have time to participate anyway (as evidenced by the fact that I haven't read this post until today). If you run it in the future though, I'd totally be on board.
