lady_windermereI just joined ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fall_for_sx (I have the 29th September), but I was wondering, after almost killing my brain in the Spring doing two sets of fics for two communities (commiting myself to four fics on set days...never again), would it be better to have them for at the most two months. Ok I know that wouldn't really cover the whole season, but the fandom is shrinking. Some people are totally loyal to their OTP, and favourite character, so maybe the seasonal communities should run for a shorter time?
The main reason I say this is because after the Spring rounds, I was swearing never to join another one again, I didn't get to finish the fourth one as I was exausted trying to meet deadlines, and to be honest my Giles/Ethan fic also got lost in the whole thing...then I guess no-one really wanted to read Giles/Ethan in Oban, but well!
It seems that the writers and artists who do sign up for these communities are being spread too thin. The![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
autumn_of_angel was perfect, one month, gave everyone the chance to show some Angel love, but, at least I dont think, no-one was over extended or exausted by the end of it. With the exception of Sexy and Vamps (Lots of Love to both of you).
