More people on my flist who write DGM fic should participate in this~ The people who've done it previously to October are being slooow (I'm the only person who finished a September fic) so new blood plz. Do it because you might get awesome fic from me about your favorite pairings. *sparkle*
Now back to video game binge. We played MGS: Guns of the Patriots yesterday (EVA just fed us lots of backstory) and are buying Silent Hill 5 today, if all goes well. :3

It's probably thanks to you I noticed the community, actually.

My pet project is attempting to instill life into silly fic exchanges. :P If this one continues to fail, I may have to just arrange something else. I like the idea of having a method of getting motivation without being pressured, like... I always do drabble challenges, but I'm constantly hoping someone will request something I secretly want to write, and instead I either get things like "KANDA/ALLEN, PROMPT: WITHOUT YOU I WITHER AWAY" which is like the antithesis of what I want to write, or "LAVI/ALLEN, PROMPT: SILLY HATS!" which is something I'd want to write anyway and totally uninspiring. This method is pretty neat for me, because it means I can see what people want and pick a subject without feeling like I'm being bullied into writing stuff I don't want to write just to get motivation for things I do want to write.
...and that was an unnecessarily long and rambling response, perhaps.

It's a pity more people don't seem to be into it.

But something about

1) For some reason requests are associated with days. Like, there's some requests on June 16, and some requests on June 17, and some requests on June 18. What is the point of this? Are those deadlines? Why do I have to choose what day people have to write my fics by? If they just want to make sure posting doesn't happen in a giant burst, like 300 fics on the first of June, why not just give a range of days, like, "Second week of June, third week of June?" Why does it have to be one specific day? It seems weird.
2) Why in the name of god would you organize the requests by day? Does anybody really go into this thing thinking, "Man, I hope there's some good requests for June 21." Who the hell cares what day it's due/whatever on? If I'm going into this thing, I'm thinking, "What sort of D. Gray-man requests do they have?" And then I have to scan through 31 different sections on 6 different LJ posts in order to find all the DGM requests... And then, when I'm done, god forbid I should go, "Hey, I wonder if they have an KH or Bleach I'd like?" because then I have to do it again.
And if there's any better way of doing it, I sure don't know, because it doesn't say so anywhere.
Basically, what it boils down to is: very poorly organized. I'd rather do my own thing. :P I give it a slight leg up because I like having prompts -- "Komui+Lenalee" or "Cross/Cloud Nine" is not as inspirational as "Komui+Lenalee: how she finally got his blessings to date" or "Cross/Cloud Nine: too much of a good thing" -- but definite marks down for being opaque to outsiders.
