Re: 27 works in the collection

I'm sure most of the fics that have been posted written so fast because the writer was excited.

(I'm the coalie who mentioned getting a bad assignment out of the way, but this was an exception rather than the rule for me. And unless you requested any and then made it clear that you only want very specific things, it's not you.)

Also, just because the assignment was bad (or, in my case, simply uninspiring and a clear mismatch of interests) doesn't mean the fic will be bad.

Compare and contrast to assignments I was so hyped about that I nearly defaulted on them because they got out of control.
