Be the First challenge insecurities

[dbskyler]

The deadline for the Be the First challenge is tomorrow, and I have a ficlet that is almost ready to post, but I am now all insecure about the fact that it's not nearly good enough or long enough to be the very first fanfic to ever be posted for this fandom. The challenge itself is totally open -- any genre, any fic length -- but I am feeling all this pressure because of being the first, which is the whole point of the challenge! Aaarrgh!

LOL *pets*

Don't worry, no one will look at it! ;-p



(I mean, not really. I'm sure they will, and knowing your fic I'm sure they will also like it very much if/when they do. <3)

I'm going to beat you at writing obscure fandoms, so watch out! :p

(Posted, and it has two hits already! But it's still unrevealed, so one hit must be from the mod, and maybe the other was an AO3 wrangler trying to figure out the fandom? Or else the mod read it twice, ha!)

Never! ;-p

*trembles in my boots nevertheless*

And, ha, I expect the fandom wranglers have been looking as well, but they can't see the fic, only the tags until it goes live.

Don't feel pressure please! Someone needs to be the first. Doesn't mean it needs to be perfect. Maybe you will inspire others and the fanfics will grow. Someone just needs to do the first step!

I still feel the pressure, but I went ahead and posted! I AM THE FIRST!

Yay you!
I've posted mine as well. Thanks for telling me about this, it's a fun group! And in the introduction post I even found some that were interested in my show.

Congratulations! I'm glad it's been a good experience for you.
