Jesus. You have your hand in a more pies than I actually thought - and I thought you were in a lot. It's a wonder you can make any progress on those WIPs at all.
*sigh* I know. I took on a lot of this responsibility when I was still in school, when I had a more flexible schedule that I could stuff fandom things into. Now that I'm gone for half the day during the week, its harder to juggle everything.
But I will say, I wouldn't do it if I didn't enjoy it, so there's that ~ I've not started resenting anyone too much yet :P
I'm just glad the muses are still working, to be honest. The last half of last year was very stressful for me and it reflected in the slowdown of my output.
But still. Fragments? YES PLEASE. *grabby hands*
I'm trying! It wants to come out, so *crosses fingers* Hopefully soon!
What's more amazing is that I'm feeling any motivation at all to work on Nihon Idol. I love that fic, but man. Talk about research o.O
Totally on the same page as you on the reviewing front though
That's also me trying to turn a negative into a positive. Not gonna lie, I've been disappointed with the lack of feedback on...pretty much everything I've posted since November, but I figure I have no room to bitch if I'm not doing my best to spread some thoughtful comments around myself. I know I work too hard and put too much of myself into these stories to not give at least half that in my reviews. That means I can't read as fast as I'd like, or pass up reviewing as much as I'd like, but that's the price I pay :P Most of the stuff on my reading list is worth savoring, though, so its no great loss.
