the main reason I'm trying to do fests is I have all these ideas and I just can't commit to finishing them.
For me, it is not. Although, the 'can't commit' part sort of rings true. :P I just have so many ideas archived that I usually start with browsing through my bunnies and seeing if there are ideas that fit my recipient's requests. See, most of my bunnies aren't fully formed fic ideas, and I usually end up combining two or three of them for the fest fic and then I'm happy I was able to get rid of them that way. ^____^ I do always swear to myself when a fic commitment is over that I am going to write on my own, but that somehow never happens.
Oh, you know, I've started reading it when I went to your journal after the reveal of hd_holidays to see who you are, but stopped because, as you said, I didn't want to be spoiled in case you wrote them. But you still didn't and I have a feeling you're like I am in that regard, and need some prodding and poking to start writing any of them. :) Are you going to sign up to hd_hols this year?
Yeah, I sorta wish stuff like that happened more often--where everyone's talking and excited and inspiring each other.
