Ah, then I'd better start cranking the Hot Chocolates out if I hope to thwart your plan for world domination! ;)

I don't know exactly why I'm feeling more intimidated this year -- last year I wrote a few things for Winterval and didn't feel like a complete loser even though I'm nowhere near the league of the people who actually write original fiction. Maybe it's because of the conversation that took place after last year's Winterval, where certain modly types were disappointed that some participants were posting low-quality work just for the points. (I only actually did that in one of the five or so events I joined last time, FWIW, and it was an art event so not my "real" area, but the guilt stuck.)

Hmm, now that I think about it, I think this really is what's giving me trouble this time -- it's made me feel like I need to be supporting my team AND be some kind of brilliant writer at the same time. ;)
