I met some of my absolute best fandom friends because of PL, and I also achieved some of my best writing (I think). This is making it hard to say "no" this year. it is such a good experience overall (except for the random hysterics and last minute mental breakdowns) *RESISTS* EEK. ok. *deep breath* I think the desire is gone...?
it's just that...I know I am pretty much completely moved on from Merlin fandom, and (intellectually) I don't think I have enough interest in the fandom to write a 30k story :/ Still. I know I will always think fondly of this fest, and the overall experience. *pokes around looking for a TW BB* :D
I'm still fully immersed. I have the desire, it's a matter of having the stamina to do it. My health is still pretty shoddy but I really want to go for this.
Hopefully I will manage a shorter story than last year. 100k was one hell of a leap when the longest thing I'd written before that was only 12k. I did just manage to write a 47k fic for merlin holidays in only 4 weeks so...that bodes well, I think!
aww *pets* I'm sorry you are having health issues. :(
I think you can do it though! if you start now that's 8(ish) months to work? I know you can do it! and hey, people will start moving back into PL chat soon too...and that could help?

I'll be able to give it seven months actually. I'm also doing the Reverse BB so January is taken ;-)
Still, that should be more than enough time as long as I don't dawdle!
