Bad ideas R us
Feb. 13th, 2021 09:51 amI'm thinking about signing up for ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
genfreeformexchange. I wanted to do it last year but just had Too Much. Anyway, they're taking tag nominations 'til tomorrow, and most of the fandom/relationship tags I wanted are already in, which is a good sign for finding people to match with.
Some of the freeform tags are just amazing:
Accidental Parrot Acquisition
Being Saved by a Walrus
Canon setting but its a CLUEDO game
Congratulations you are being hunted by ghosts
Getting Turned into a Dog Because You Done Wrong
Other fandom things currently going on:
•hurtcomfortex currently in tag nominations (until the 26th)
•space_swap taking tag nominations until tomorrow
• Fandom Fusion Flash (fusion AUs, i.e. characters from one canon in the setting of another) currently in simultaneous nominations & signups
I was thinking about what I get out of doing exchanges, and I think it's the creative energy contact high. There's a vigorous, energetic, creative feeling - especially during signups/planning, but also while it's running, that seems to carry over into the rest of my life and make me more creative, generally.
There's a happy medium, though, between that and Too Many Deadlines. I did actually overdo it in 2019 and ended up with a bit of burnout, so I'm not planning to do that again, and I have a busy origfic writing schedule for 2021. Just a little exchange, though. As a treat.

Current Tumblr peeve: people who tag every post in their RP and Sims blogs with the main fandom. Like, come on, guys, I hate blocking every one of you but I will do it to keep the tag from being 50% unrelated to what I'm actually here for.
