Rare Pair Shorts

I picked Fic Exchange and New Prompt Tables. Why?

I personally tend to do better with Fic Exchanges because there's some onus on my finishing since someone is expecting a fic at the end of it. But I also see the downside to that with this type of community, because some pairings can be quite challenging, ala Firenze/Snape. They can also be quite time consuming and too many of them can burn writers out. If this option is chosen, maybe only do it once a year?

As for my second selection, I think it's a good way for members to participate without the pressure that normally comes with doing a fic exchange. They can participate when they want, however often they want. And it poses its own challenge in a way (e.g. writing every single prompt in a table regardless if the last word is xylophone).
