Okay, okay, I give up. Seriously.

Real Life has become overly complicated. It's mostly a good complicated, but right now I don't have the mental energy to complete most of the writing I want to do.

So I'm going to drop out of the two remaining Bangs I'm in (Sam/Dean Mini Bang and the Dean/Cas Big Bang). I am giving myself amnesty and I'll just write those stories at my own pace and give them the attention they're due.

I'll stay in the Sassy OTP challenge (my contribution is mostly written) and the Summer of Sam challenge (I have it mostly done as well), since those have no wordcount limitations and thus aren't going to make me stress out unduly.

I am also declaring the rest of 2011 a challenge-free zone for ratherastory. I'm going to write all the stories I want to write, when I want to write them, and not fuss with deadlines and minimum wordcounts. So there. There is one exception to this rule, a BB I signed up for that's due in November.



Remaining Deadlines


- summer_sam_love: A Sam-centered h/c fic exchange. No wordcount limit. Posting starts August 14th, 2011.
- sassy_otp: A Sam/Cas-centered challenge, no wordcount minimum, posting date of August 14th, 2011. I'm writing a sequel to "After the End."
- five0bang: Rough draft due November 4th, 40k minimum.

Personal Fic Projects

Look for these in the coming months

- The sequel to Roses in December
- Fusion
- The Angel Pin (the Film Noir AU I'm supposed to write with rainylemons
- The Project Formerly Known as the Sam/Dean Mini Bang
- The Project Formerly Known as the DCBB
- Ferret!Verse (that's H50, for those of you who are confused)

I also have some original fiction projects that I'm going to be working on, which I'm not including in this list. :)

I have SUCH a fun plot for it, and it's the kind of story that lends itself really well to illustration. I have plenty of time to write it at a leisurely pace, so I'm sticking with it. Everything else is getting dropped in favour of the writing projects I feel like working on at whatever moment I want. :)

And yes, good complicated RL, with a dash of less-good. Mostly it's good and involves buying a house. :)
