Funnily enough I've joined a lot of challenges because I hate to see them languish without many participants, or (often with a Swap) because it's fun to try and make someone happy with a story. The problem is I end up writing almost nothing but challenge stories and ficlets, and my own longer bunnies get left out in the cold! (Poor lonely bunnies.) That's one of the reasons I want to cut down on the challenges next year: I really want some time to finish my epic JuC and get some of the other longer stories written that have been in my head for months on end...!
And yes, deadline pressure is also a bitch. It's nice to occasionally have something to write that doesn't have a date when you must post or submit it!
