Yeah, 750words is really shiny. It's worth looking at, and using - I just recommend not giving the guy money.

Ah, I can do vague prompts, but I prefer not to. I'd rather have something that really sparks an idea - that's why I like fic exchanges.

That's how I did my intoabar last year - I liked the end result, but I could not force myself to do it until the day it was do. And honestly, my Match fic this year was a slog too; the story I wanted to write wasn't really appropriate for the Match, so I ended up writing the story I did (which I like well enough, but which was way huger than I originally wanted it to be, because the whole time it was pulling teeth).

Well, no matter what, good luck. This is just one of those things, you know? I think everyone finds their way out of stuff like this, and while suggestions can help, there's no way to know what'll work until it happens.
