Joining in various writing festivals/competitions/challenges appears to be a good way to get myself to write. So far, it's been mostly smut. I need to start working on one of the longer non-smut pieces I have outlined. But the smut seems to be more fun, and easier to get done quickly.

Anyway, there are about a dozen prompts up on smallfandomfest that I want to write, and the rules are that I can only claim one at a time. And they're not all Eureka and GB/RGB prompts, either! (Although I must admit that the majority are.) So I suspect I'm going to be chaining them through the next few weeks. Summer vacation starting is going to be very handy, indeed.

Also, someone claimed one of my Eureka prompts! *squee!* Not a Fargo one, which makes me a bit sad, but I'm still jazzed to read it.

In this case, I suspect it's because there aren't as many anime/manga/jrpg fandoms that are both small and active. They're either too big, nonexistent, or dead. Having said that, I should have submitted some Mahou Tsukai Tai! prompts, because I bet it would count.

I can think of a few, but overall, yeah, I can see your point. OTOH, I suppose it's entirely possible that it's a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy - someone looks, sees few anime/manga/jrpg fandoms requested and doesn't request any, either because they assume they aren't really welcome or because it seems less likely someone in that community would write for them.

Anyway, it's just a point of curiosity to me, really. Comms like this one and comment_fic are mostly Western fandoms while others like springkink are dominated by Japanese ones and naturally I wonder why it's so rare that fic comms have more of a mix.
