[delphipsmith]

Holy *&#$@#! There are 75+ prompts posted at sshg_exchange and more than 600 comments LOL! I haven't signed up yet but it's been great fun reading them; there are some highly original ones out there. ::goes off to ponder mine::

Wait, you have 4 months to write 1500 words?! I've seen 15000 word big bangs have shorter time frames. Is this really a problem? I'm guessing a lot of people bail?

I am tempted, though, especially since it's not due till well after all my BBs this summer. I'm amused at the thought of having to prove I'm not a newbie. Heck, I've written at least 10K of SS/HG fic over the years.

I should post all my fic to AO3 and then add all the word counts because I'm guessing I am well over a million words of fic! lolol

Well, 1500 words is minimum, and very few of the prompts I saw could be done in that tiny a space. So most people end up a LOT longer :)

I'm always amazed at long summaries and then there are like 300 words. I run across that a lot on AO3. Or like a dozen tags and a 100 word drabble! lol

100+, actually.
