Bay shouldn't be tempted to take on more writing projects

[bay_alexison]

Oh my gosh guys, should I sign up for pokemon_bigbang? It's really great that now there is one as I have been waiting on one for a while and this is also a great opportunity to write Pokemon fanfiction again. However...

1. NO ORIGINAL CHARACTERS allowed. I have a couple ideas that I could write for Pokemon, but they involve original characters. x_x I could go hunt for some possible prompts with the canon characters, but I like making original characters in the Pokemon world. XD

2. I actually have four FMA fics I need to do, three having deadlines in August and one for help_japan (the one evil_little_dog requested since the other help_japan fic I posted a couple days ago). ALSO, second round of fmabigbang is also coming in August and I plan on participating again. I should be able to get the three fics with deadlines done before FMA Big Bang comes. The help_japan fic, on the other hand...we'll see about that. >.<;

I'm so, SO tempted to do Pokemon Big Bang, but that would mean I would also do two Big Bangs and maybe the help_japan story once August hits. On the one hand, I can switch off between the three stories, but on the other hand I'll be really, really exhausted. x_x

Oh, and there's also that Gosick story I mentioned eariler, but I'm pushing that aside for now until I get my FMA fics done. D:

Gawds, looks like this will be a long summer doing a lot of writing...

Well, thanks to you, I might be doing art for the pokémon thing. XD I'll have to see if anyone writes a 1st generation story (any authors I should be on the lookout for in the sign ups?).

Also, have you started pimping fma_slashfest? I will be home sick tonight and can help you get started if yo need it. You can email me if you prefer.

Yeah, I saw your question there. XD Very cool you might be participating! Hm, only author I know from that list is masu_trout and she's a great writer, but I'm not sure if her story will be first gen. If it is, though, I would go for her!

And I haven't started pimping fma_slashfest yet. I can be able to pimp it at fm_alchemist and fma_fiction later tonight if you want me too. If there are any other communities you want me to pimp at, I can do that too unless you and seatbeltdrivein will also pimp out at other communities.

If you could pimp at fma_fiction this week, that would be good. I'll get together a schedule with seatbelt and then pass it on to you for pimping round the comms!

I'm kinda eh over the fact that they don't allow original characters—as I don't see why not, so long as it involves Pokémon. Buuuut at least you can maybe work around the OC aspect by taking a in-game character that's not developed at all.

Yeah, I was a bit iffy too when it's mentioned original characters aren't allowed. And I'm thinking of doing just that if I decide to sign up for it.
