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.

*wibbles some more*

I was kind of on the fence a little this year too, but Jades is very convincing *g* I guess one of the real questions is, are there any epic SGA stories you really want to tell right now? It is rather open this year, so you could wind up writing anything... of course, it's probably much less stressful to cheerlead/beta. (I would include art in there, but I always find it a little stressful to illustrate/Photoshop under deadlines.)

Selfishly, I'd love another epic fic from you, but if you're in a groove with original fic right now, I'd hate for you to lose that.

Oh, right, I knew it would be all my fault :P

@Friendshipper: Just chiming in to agree with the above. I still have some stories I want to tell with these characters, and Grey was kind enough to be persuaded to join me, but I only have fanfic to work on right now. If I do dig out original stuff, I doubt I'll be able to work on them simultaneously.

Looking at the comments, you've got plenty of people who'd like your input as well as your fic! Hopefully you can find a awy of taking part that keeps your stress at acceptable levels ;)

You make that sound like it's a bad thing ;)
