Well I Actually did it.

I signed up for a fest (smutty_claus) and considering the speed at which its filling up its a good thing I did it first thing yesterday. Still reading through  the other sign up sheets is giving me lots of ideas... For ships and pairings I've not requested or said I'll write for... D'oh!

Plus I had a whole bunch ideas for the characters I'd said i'd do, and now I figure whatever I try and plan out in advance, the request that I get down from on high's going to wreck it straight out from the gate. 

Reading through some of the past fics and see the art has sent me down tracks I'd not considered before like the fact people will apparently ship the two eldest Weasley boys with anyone. 

Especially love this pic; http://www.journalfen.net/community/smutty_claus/82465.html

If I was writing the sign up sheet now, there'd be a prompt for Charlie/Fleur infidelity with Bill/Tonks going on at the same time.

Anyway, beginning to get the feeling it will be a long slog to the deadline.

I've seen that pic before. It's a good one. That Charlie is a real slut LOL.

Hey it might not be his fault. Seems Weasley men are really vulnerable to that Veela allure thing.

I think that's great that you signed up. I think you'll discover that writing a one-piece can be quite satisfying. The fest is lucky to have you. Plus, the challenge of working off of someone else's prompt can be really fun and push you in new directions you hadn't though of before.

I'm excited for you.

I have such an enormous grin on my face now it is unbelievable. Thank you for that. It's really made me happy.

Aww, bless, hon. I'm happy to have made you happy! Seriously, though, I think you'll really enjoy the experience. And Smutty Claus is the ideal fest for you, in tone and taste. I'm so curious to see what you're going to come up with!

Well, don't worry, you'll be the first to know :P
