Oops, event overlap

jemerylWas bumming around on tumblr and came across the line, "Miruyumi week 2022, December 6th-13th"
"Oh bugger," I said to myself, because that's exactly when I'm planning to run Fuyumi Femslash Week. I said a few more culturally appropriate curses like "bollocks, anjing, cibai, pukimak," to make sure all my bases were covered, and then I calmed down.
This might have been avoided if I had run an interest check... but I simply didn't have the time, especially with my wrist injury limiting what I could do.
Honestly though, it's an understandable mistake, especially given that this is the first online event I've run. I did my homework trying to find out if there were other events during that time and I must have missed it; and nobody I ran the date by noticed or were aware, either. So I don't feel too guilty about it because I feel I put in my due diligence. Plus it's Fuyumi-centered and I have the nsfw/dead dove prompts so it's different enough.
It's just regrettable because a) there aren't that many f/f events going around, especially for specific ships - even more so compared to the glut of hyperspecific m/m events - and b) I don't want people (including me) to burn out making content for too many events.
I don't have the time or energy to mess around changing the dates, especially because I'm doing a lot of the graphics in addition to promo/etc. What I will do is extend the duration I'm monitoring the account - up to a month - so people can participate in both if they want to can still do so with less time pressure.
And it can't be more crammed than September was, what with the wlw bang, valkyries and various zine deadlines. Which was wonderful, but also a lot!

Date: 2022-09-22 04:05 pm (UTC)September has been so full, the fear of burnout is real, I'm also hitting myself with the "no more events!" bat at any given moment XD
I noticed there was a lot of Fuyumi, was not expecting her to beat Ochako and she was a hair away from beating Momo?? Gutted, but proud of her, lol. Interesting that she's the most tagged/up there, I'm glad to see it and look forward to seeing what people do with a Fuyumi focused event. Definitely going to clearly message that late posting will be accepted throughout December and that double posting will be totally fine, too. And thanks, I'm sure it'll go great!
