In which I start having Event Second Thoughts

[eff_ess_oe]

I know the title + icon combo might make it sound like I have severe beef with the orgs, but I don't. The only thing I have beef with is my brain in this case.

Anyways, I'm starting to contemplate not doing Sakura Exchange this year. I'm not feeling as big of a spark towards any of the fandoms I'd nominate at the moment, which would kill any motivation to put out good-enough work for my recipient. Or at least, would eat up a ton of mental resources.

Then again, maybe things will change in a week or so when signups actually start. I don't know. My brain's weird like that. Plus, I still have the hyperfix rolling for my Finish What You Started piece, so maybe once I get what I want from that done over the weekend, it'll free up some space for me to think about potential Sakuraex pieces. We'll see.

(oh, speaking of: keep an eye in your inboxes. I got a WIP on the way. Probs gonna upload it tomorrow night.)

You should nominate in case you get that spark of inspiration, but honestly take a break if you're not feeling it! You can always PH or treat if you want to, and if not your brain will thank you for the break <3

You're right ^^ I did realize last night before I fully drifted off to sleep that I could just dump my noms and sit on them for a week while I reevaluate.

And I totally forgot about treating! I didn't think this was an exchange where ppl who didnt initially sign up could treat, but I guess since it's bigger than MGSX (the last exchange I did), I guess it'd be doable. Thanks for the tip.

And also now that I think about it, I think the hyperfix that was hurtling through my brain has dimmed to more manageable levels now that I actually sat down and PLAYED the damn game rather than watching LPs or staring at forum posts/going thru the files. Kinda weird how that works.

Anyway, thanks for the tip! Gonna put it into action and see how it works ^^
