Star Trek Big Bang claims... I'm amused.

So, I've been claimed by a fanmixer, but not by an artist.  I wonder... because these claims are anonymous (they don't know which fic is being written by whom)... if I'd have been claimed sooner if my name was attached to it.  My summary does NOT indicate a ship (even though Kirk and Bones are totally BFF-close and then some in this story), or sappy romance. 

I wonder... what is our fandom really looking for in a fic?  Or did I just write a weak summary?  Or should I have been more clear in the summary about just how much I beat the crap out of Jim, the angst I inflict on Bones, and the living nightmare they both survive?  I mean, I like my summaries to be subtle.  

But hey, it's all good.  I wonder who will claim it.  Or will I illustrate my own fic this year?

Anyway, just got back from Dragon*Con.  Very tired.  Going to bed.  Will post about the con tomorrow.  <3

lol I don't know about any of the other artists, but to me picking the fics was like bingo. I had to skim through all the stories summaries super fast because there were lots of them and just slap my choices asap. There wasn't a whole lot of time and I didn't really care about the pairings to much. So whatever snagged my attention be it a word or something in the summary was what got picked. I wonder if I tried this for lotto would I actually win anything ;)?

I do wonder what it must be like for the artists. I'm still pondering over the folks who haven't claimed anything though.

So what was it in the summary of the fic YOU picked that caused you to grab it up?

lol the summary made me think there would be some action and excitement :D.
