fic corner and bankrupt pants
Jul. 11th, 2013 04:27 pmSo I was catching up on lj/dw after about a week of no internet except email, and I saw that many people whose journals I read are going to be participating in ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fic_corner. This makes me happy because:
a) Wow, is this exchange up my alley. If you look at the alley this exchange is up, there is a sign that says "Minutia R". (The R in this case stands for Road. Unsurprisingly, my alley has delusions of grandeur.) It did not take five minutes before I had mentally composed a list of nominations and requests, and there's a ton of other stuff that would be exciting to write if other people request it.
b) Knowing that a bunch of people I know and whose work I like are also doing this not only increases the chance that there will be stories I want to read, but also makes me feel like I've found my people? Which it's taken me a while to do, even in fandom.
Anyway, if by any chance you are hearing about fic corner first from me--if you are interested in writing fic for children's/middle-grades/YA books, you should do this exchange too.
