I cannot decide whether to sign up for [livejournal.com profile] sgabigbang! Signups close on the 29th, so I only have a few more days to decide. This is their last year, and I'm very sad at the idea of not being part of the final one. On the other hand, last year was awesome; I had so much fun co-creating the Whaleverse with [livejournal.com profile] naye, and I suspect there's at least a 50/50 chance I'll end up failing to complete my story this year if I do sign up. So maybe it's better for me to go out on a high note than to sign up and fail to meet the goal and never have another chance to redeem myself?

And right now I'm doing a pretty good job at sticking to my original fiction goals, and I don't really want to derail myself. I know from past experience that when I commit myself to doing a ficathon fic, I tend to have trouble working on anything else 'til I finish it; I might think I can work on both a Big Bang fic and an original novel at the same time, but past experience tends to imply that I can't.

Maybe I should sign up as a beta or an artist instead? Or just cheerlead? I would really like to be involved, but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to commit myself to a big fic right now.

I say don't sign up. For me at least, it's hard to get back to original stuff once I'm in a fannish place, though naturally I don't know how it works for you. Still, and much as I'd love to read another long SGA story by you, two commitments like that are a lot of stress.

Plus, I kind of need a second beta-reader. ;)

Why, yes, it's all about me.

I'm definitely leaning in a "don't sign up" direction, though I may sign up as an artist. That wouldn't conflict with doing beta for one or more people, though. *\o/*

Signing up as an artist would also give you something tangible to work with, instead of making it all up on your own.

That's good, seeing as how I need all the help I can get! ;D

I sent you an invite to join our Big Bang support group, if you think you'll have the time to beta read for me. Perfectly fine if you don't. :)
