Tell us a little bit about it if you want! Fandom, ship, premise, etc. Be as vague or specific as you like: Gonna try to wrap up Not As Dumb so that the piles of books/notes/Workflowy chunks stop reproaching me. It's been languishing since 2010. Handcuffs and fisting and bad cops. (The last is a big reason I stalled out, tbh.)

[snickfic]

Woo, good luck! You may have the record as the oldest WIP that anyone signs up with. :D

Tell us a little bit about it if you want! Fandom, ship, premise, etc. Be as vague or specific as you like: Probably one of a few MCU options I have existing starts on, most likely one of: Bucky/Loki mpreg, Loki/Sylvie twincest with mpreg, Heidall/Loki getting married to save a life, or Heimdall/Loki going into hiding with half the Asgardians. Or Bucky/Loki in Narnia if it takes me that long to finish, which it had fucking well better not!!!

ETA: since wips in our hearts are allowed, possibly pre-show Sylvie hanging out in Jotunheim or IW-ish Thor ending up in the Void, which are the two un-started things I have numerous feelings about!!

[snickfic]

We just want to give people a fake deadline, lol. We don't actually care what they use it for. 😂 Not that I would ever abuse my modly power to try to talk someone into a certain thing *cough*, but the mpreg and the Heimdall/Loki possibilities all have me going 👀👀👀.

Good luck!!

Tell us a little bit about it if you want! Fandom, ship, premise, etc. Be as vague or specific as you like: Gotta finish my original vampire fic! I stalled out in October when I got obsessed with a new fandom but I might be able to juggle fandom feels and OC feels at the same time.

[snickfic]

This is a great time to find out! Good luck. :))

Character development, chess and medieval romance? :D sounds like a delicious couple of months

Good luck!!! 💪

Tell us a little bit about it if you want! Fandom, ship, premise, etc. Be as vague or specific as you like: I have these shippy fanart wips that I started in August? but got side-tracked as I wanted to work on my basic skills before proceeding and then instead I wrote fics and played games more LOL anyway the two pieces are Juna/Musse and Lloyd/Rean from the Kiseki series. I'm going to aim to finish one of them (probably the Juna/Musse one).

I'm hoping to finish a self-indulgent Homestuck fic I started in 2017 where Rose Lalonde has to rescue her mother from a faery dance. I started rewriting my 7k unfinished draft near the end of the last year and it's mutated into something with even more scenes and details, and yet I still haven't figured out how it should end. I'm just hoping I'll work it out by the time I get there. 🤞😅

There are plenty of other WIPs I could also sign up with (amusingly, my second choice is also faery-themed), but this one is the one that's been bugging me for longest.

[snickfic]

Yay for idfic. \o/ Good luck!

Tell us a little bit about it if you want! Fandom, ship, premise, etc. Be as vague or specific as you like: There's a lot to choose from, but most likely a Mysterious Benedict Society/Percy Jackson crossover, a Mysterious Benedict Society fic where they all meet on the island, or a continuation of my Glasshouse AU for the H.I.V.E. series

[snickfic]

That is a very intriguing array of possibilities. 👀 Good luck!

[snickfic]

Haha, you have options! Good luck. :D

Tell us a little bit about it if you want! Fandom, ship, premise, etc. Be as vague or specific as you like: I've got a Batman/White Collar long fic that I stalled on when I suddenly needed to do piles of research. Working title is Time Travel Neal, and it probably needs to be two fics when I planned to have the time travel and present bits running along side. It needs more words to get to that decision anyway.

Currently at about 18k.

[snickfic]

That sounds like a significant project! Good luck. :D

Tell us a little bit about it if you want! Fandom, ship, premise, etc. Be as vague or specific as you like: I have a short Magnus Archives fic that's been sitting in my wip folder for months. It'd be nice to get it out the door. (And hopefully I'll finish some other stuff too, but let's just commit to one. ;p )

[snickfic]

Woo, good luck!!

Tell us a little bit about it if you want! Fandom, ship, premise, etc. Be as vague or specific as you like: An original wingfic about a young mad scientist and his client, who needs new wings. I just want to finish it in a fannish context, if that makes sense, which makes this challenge perfect! Thank you so much for it!

Woo, that sounds great! Good luck. :)

Tell us a little bit about it if you want! Fandom, ship, premise, etc. Be as vague or specific as you like: Recently decided I'd try to do a bingo line for this old (old) bingo card. Already got a couple of fills up, but I'm starting to get distracted by other fannish things, so hopefully having a deadline will help me to get the whole line out!

[snickfic]

That sounds great! Good luck. :)

Tell us a little bit about it if you want! Fandom, ship, premise, etc. Be as vague or specific as you like: I've had an idea for a plotty OT3 get together fic for a while but aside from a few random scenes, I've never really tried to start it. This is probably the kick in the pants I need to seriously start working on it.

[snickfic]

Ooh, that sounds great! Good luck. :)

Tell us a little bit about it if you want! Fandom, ship, premise, etc. Be as vague or specific as you like: I have so many WIPs it's not even funny. I have no idea which of them I'll actually end up finishing around April. Possibly a couple of treats that I originally began for exchanges late last year that have expanded to novella length or, if I end up (fingers crossed!) finishing those earlier, the last couple of porn-with-feels fics I've been writing for Annie Proulx's much-less-known short story The Mud Below, for which I constitute the entirety of the fandom (on AO3, at least).

[snickfic]

This is a great time to get one or two of them out the door! Good luck. :)

[svgurl]

Oh, this sounds great! Maybe I'll finally finish my WIP. :D

Fandom, ship, premise, etc. Be as vague or specific as you like: It's a Clark/Lois (Smallville) role reversal fic, i'm superwoman, with an s on my chest (but can someone just know me) . I started it for Heroine Big Bang last year and I have two chapters up, but I really want to complete it.

[snickfic]

You can do it!! Good luck. :)
