Challenges and Exchanges and things + not receiving comments in my email

*So excited to see the art for spn_reversebang! I probably won't be home when it goes up, but I'm sooo looking forward to it. *REFRESHES PAGE FOR AS LONG AS I'M HOME THIS MORNING*

*I'm currently having a lot of fun working on my art for the samdean_otp minibang, yay!

*and working on little doodles for sassy week and samifer week on tumblr (I'm badbastion over there, so creative with my usernames. I'm also very bad at doing follow-backs. I just can't keep up with my dash, and I don't have time to look at everything I want to look at already :I)

*I caved and signed up for spn_j2_xmas and jeeeeez, my signup comment was so long, haha. I hope it's more helpful than it is overwhelming, to have so many options.

*What are some other fun challenge type things going on around the fandom? I don't want to sign up for anything else where I'm required to have something finished by a deadline; two of those is exactly enough for me. I'd prefer things where participation is optional. Any suggestions? :)

*For some reason, I'm not getting email notifications from Livejournal. I checked all my settings, and I just don't know what's up. I'm thinking maybe it's all the free pandas being shared around that's gunking up the system, but another user told me they were getting notifications just fine. HMMM. So if I miss replying to a comment, I'm not ignoring you, I swear, haha.

Get yourself a card over at spn_30snapshots you can do art for them too.. I got a sexual kink card but they have all kinds of cards to choose from. No deadline, when its finished its finished. I've been working on mine for almost a year now. lol I have 11 done \0/ lol I tend to sign up for things that have deadlines and then get overwhelmed in the end. lol

OMG can't wait for the reverse bang art. I won't be home either but its not claiming day so It's all good, I can peruse when I get home.

I just can't sign up for spn_j2_xmas because I want to get some things started and cleaned up and get ready for spn_j2bigbang next year.. I am determined to finish my fic and post this time around.. So no more challenges with deadlines or things I have to do and then feel guilty about not getting finished or stressed to finish.

I will do insmallpackages if they do an xmas round this year.. is rather relaxed claiming and filling requests.. nothing big or challenging.

Okay off to work... Hugs

I'll look into that :) I just don't like stuff that's too defined - I prefer like, comment memes, things like that, where I can just scan a page and be like YEP, that's something I could do! I've found that loading myself down with to-dos only builds up art blocks for me, and makes fandom much less fun.

I shall take a look at insmallpackages. Is that the comm name?

insmallpackages is cute and nice - check people's profiles and you can find the links to these comms there - that's the easiest way to travel around I find.

OMG I LOVE insmallpackages.. I filled a ton of them last year.. lol I hope they do another round this year.. its so worth it..

spn_30snapshots prompt tables you can check them out and if you think they are too constrictive then don't bother. Really they just give you a one word scenario that the fic or art should be done around.. like mine is get your kink on and a prompt is Gags and that's it. I wrote a fic where Sam uses his tie as a gag for Dean while having sex.. but its just a general gags so you interpret it the way you want but because mine is get your kink on.. its all sexual. They have an entire list of prompt tables to choose from.. No deadline at all.

In small packages is a prompt fill. People ask for art or fic or picspams.. sometimes icons or just pictures of specific things not spn related its a multifandom and or item thing. But there is a lot of spn/j2 requests for art and fic or icon.

I will look into both of those; they may indeed fit my vague but still strangely picky needs, lol. Thanks!
