So many events, so little will and time...

Right? That is totally how I feel too.

[capsquared]

I'm definitely pondering storkswap as there's a few things in the tags I would be down for.

Same! It is an interesting one but I'm still waiting to see if anyone I can write for signs up.

[capsquared]

I'm in the process of signing up now. I'd forgotten how tedious that process can be.

That is the problem with freeform exchanges - it really does take so long to go through them and sign up, even if it is nice to be guaranteed something to work off of as a creator.

[capsquared]

I did a browse through the requests summary and there's three that match what I'm offering. They're all from the same person, so unless something changes before sign-ups close, I think I know who I'm getting. Time to decide which of those three shows I feel most like doing canon review for.

So far I'm the only one requesting Sherlock, so I'll need to find another excuse for a re-watch.

It is nice to have options with that one match! And I've seen a bunch of people usually sign up last minute. With fandom5k returning, unless something really catches my eye, I may sit this one out.

I see. Maybe it will be requested in a future exchange. It is interesting how just because a fandom/ship is/was big. it doesn't mean it is exchange popular.

[capsquared]

I definitely used to be that last minute person. I'm going to have to keep an eye on fandom5k. The timeline means it won't overlap with Camp NaNo, so I hopefully won't overwhelm myself.

I haven't been active in Sherlock in ages, but Johnlock seemed to always be the most popular and Mystrade is the pairing for storkswap.

I started off being more last minute and then signed up earlier so I would have time to write my letter. Now, unless there is an exchange I really want to sign up for, like hurtcomfortex, I am waiting again. I want to sign up for less exchanges this year in general so I am hoping it will help curb my fomo. That's good about the timeline working out - hopefully you will be able to have room for both.

I only saw the first season and the first episode of s2 and wasn't in the fandom but obviously I knew Johnlock was the juggernaut there. I guess it really depends what spaces the fans occupy and storkswap isn't it for them.
