So I did, in fact, sign up for Finishathon - the idea behind the fest is that it's easier to actually sit down and write if you have a deadline, and people who are waiting for your story, so everybody submits up to ten unfinished bunnies of their own, and everyone else votes on which one we make them write. (Discussion of the submissions is going on at multific, the associated lj comm.)

That seems *really cool*. Because a) I have reassurance that whatever story I end up writing is one other people are interested in, and b) I don't have to pick which of my many bunnies to concentrate on - they pick for me. I'm much, much better at getting things done if I know for sure that other people are waiting for me to do them.

You can see the prompts I submitted here (and the other participants' prompts too). They're still taking sign-ups until Friday, and then voting starts! (I'll post a link to the poll for my stories once it goes up; anyone can vote, participant or not.)
