I hate trying to write fanfic to a deadline, so I avoid ficathons like the plague.
I hear you. The problem with that is that the deadlines seem so far off that they shouldn't be a problem...and then they sneak up :) Though, the bubblefic this year (Sacrifice) was done about a month before the deadline, and I was just itching to post it--so the problem was the waiting, not the pressure.
My 'Net connection did stay up long enough yesterday for me to read your FF fic, though.
Well, that's saying something, 'cause that puppy's long! (hence the "Fic that Wouldn't Die" title!) I'm glad you liked it :) I love the idea of M/I but it's so flawed that you know it would never work--so you can imagine my horror when I got my assignment and it included "a child--preferably theirs." Erm, no. Sorry. So I did it, but on my terms, because I would never have managed to write what I'm guessing she had in mind. (And I'll confess that I suspect I like the idea of M/I just because Mal's so pretty and I think half the fun of fic-and half the reason it's written--is to project yourself into it somewhere.)
