Yuletide Weather Forecast:
 
Temperatures are estimated to fluctuate between active panic and total apathy into the next weekend. Main assignments will have a minimum temperature of regret and a complete climate change once editing is complete. Expect treat writing to continue at all free hours unless the dangerous front of procrastination cropping up in the Northeast successful moves into the area, effectively killing the treat storm conditions for the season.

Re: Vents and struggles

This treat I'm working on just keeps increasing in scope. I'm starting to wonder if I can pull it off in time -- and if I can, it may end up longer than my original assignment and pinch hit combined (both pretty short). That gives me weird Yuletide anxiety that those recips will think I didn't like their prompts or was trying to shaft them (assuming they look up my profile, connect the dots, and care, which obviously I assume in Yuletide Anxiety Brain World), and that's absolutely not the case! Those stories just ended up shorter! Argh, why is my brain doing this?

As a recipient, I might go read other fic posted by my author, if what they wrote for me was AWESOME! And, in that case, why would I be unhappy about finding other, longer stories by them that might also be awesome?

Length is no indicator of quality or the enjoyment your recipe will take from it. Stop worrying!

This happened to me one year and I ended up writing an almost 20k word fic in a really rare fandom which I posted as a NYR the following year. It is still one of my favorite fics.
