So! Just Married Ex 2023 is over XD I got an absolutely magnificent fic that I just adore. Like, seriously, it is perfection.

I got:

Fandom: Fullmetal Alchemist
Title: attained in your present affiliation
Author: bloodmoney

I wrote:

Fandom: Leverage
Title: leaves over the mountain range
Author: hoodwinked

This was my first fandom exchange and to be honest I'm a little iffy on how I feel about it. Like, it was stressful? There was pressure, at least to me, since if I got a fic but ended up defaulting, I'd feel super bad. And I didn't want to do that. So. Yeah, pressure and stress, and honestly, I don't know how I feel about the fic I wrote. It's not bad, I don't think, but I don't much care for it.

Anyway, I did the sensible thing and not sign up for FFFX2023 (I wasn't even done with Just Married Ex when signups were open!). And... then I signed up for a pinch hit anyway. Sigh.

The pinch hit spoke to me! It tempted me! I couldn't not ahjksfhads but at least with doing a pinch hit there's not that pressure that I must finish it or I suck. So that's nice. I don't quite know how I'll approach exchanges in the future; I might try again, might stick to pinch hits... we'll see. I did manage to write a fic for Fandom Gift Basket though!

Also. I signed up for Small Fandoms Bang. Because why not, at this point.

Haha, trying all the things until you find what suits you best is the way to go, in my opinion :D I signed up for way-too-many-things when I first discovered all of these exchanges, and then I had to take a step back because the stress of the deadlines wasn't fun for me and also I didn't have time to actually read the collections once they opened. Now I stick to a couple of absolute favourites, and occasionally treat and/or pinch hit when I come across a request that particularly speaks to me :D And also I manage my time in a less stressful way now when I do sign up, haha. Good luck with all-of-the-things :D
