having completed my claim for 30 Kisses, I now find myself missing the structure of a themed challenge community. I don't need it for PoT (the drug boys just show up in my head without prompting) but I find it very helpful for LotR. And so, my dear friends, I must ask: do you think I have time for this? Bearing in mind that yes, APs are coming up, but then, so is summer. And spring break, for that matter.

Assuming that I do this, I need a community and a pair. I'm not insane enough to do more than one of either at the same time. At the moment it's looking like Glorfindel/Ecthelion, just because I love their tragic fated love like nothing except the fluffy snarky love of Glorfindel/Erestor, and I'm about written out for them at the moment. However, if any of you who like LotR have a suggestion? I'm very suggestible. As you all know.

And, of course, the community. I have narrowed it down to three choices:

[profile] 30_romances

[profile] 50_lovequotes

[profile] 101_kisses

Obviously, 101 is a massive commitment, but I did like the directional pull of having to include a kiss in each story. Having finished up 30 Kisses may have rendered me overconfident, though. >_> The themes on 30 Romances are very broad, but I might like the 50 Lovequotes themes a bit better. What do you think? Am I about to kill myself needlessly? Do you like the themes? (you can find them on the profiles of each community) I need support here, people! ~love to all~

50 Lovequotes! =) Do what suits you best. An artist shouldn't be restricted.

Pairs advice: Include more humor. Too much love stuff makes it too fluffy - yours are good; just don't overdo them. I've read some REALLY mushy stuff, that was just sooo melodramatic it was completely stupid... =(

hehe, but an artist also likes to be encouraged.

oh, dear. you just haven't seen the painfully angst-ridden mush that I keep hidden on my hdrive. I conceal my secret shame beneath my breast - I write the crappiest melodrama EVER! (and post the happy funny fluff, because I actually LIKE that...)

Okay, good. (that you keep it on your hdrive *CACKLE*) Yeah, okay, sorry. ;)

If you want to take a look at some mush, here's the site: [livejournal.com profile] athelingas. It's... yeah, see for yourself. It's probably worse than anything you'll ever write. =D There was one that I liked, but I don't remember which one... L/A, I think...

uh, no, thank you. there's a REASON i don't read Aragorn/Legolas anymore. Of course, there's a reason I don't read LotR in general anymore: Mary-Sues. And Gary-Stus. ~shudder~ why oh why are all the elves such freaking GIRLS?!

=P Yes, there isn't much manliness about them... And as you've explaned to me today, slash is better with males since we are detached, view it passively and imagine anything we want... =P

well, personally, I'm just in it because I think it's pretty, but that's the psychologist's perspective on it. =P
