FFA is a time vortex (and often not a good one). I used to read it religiously every day before I dropped out of fandom altogether. It's usually a good starting and ending point when I'm contemplating getting sucked back in.
Fair enough. I think it only has 20 sign ups, so it's going to be super small. I think people who do exchanges tend to like fandom hopping, so it's good for them, but for someone who is more monofandomish, not really. Yeah, I was the only unmatchable, and in fairness they did give me a chance to still do it. I just didn't want to.
Lol, yeah...I watched an episode of the third fandom I was willing to write and it was enough. I can't imagine having to spend time going through the canon, and then putting a story together all within six weeks. Someone also pointed out that the sign up period was too short which I agree with.
People just care about other people's opinions waaaay too much. When it comes to fandom, I don't have that problem (which is a blessing and a curse) so I really don't get it. It's also why I tend to keep things I like to myself, too. Unsolicited opinions are a dime a dozen in this world, lol. Why waste time fretting over other people's likes when you can spend it reading or shipping whatever you like? I will never understand it.
Honestly, Tim Burton's whackadoodle Batman probably DID do that, so DC should have just kept it cute and mute, but I guess they will learn from it, lol.
