I just signed up for hp_valentine. Please tell me this was not the worst mistake I ever made. I fear I might screw up and terribly dissapoint somebody.

I just dared to because I am currently writing an original fic I might even post this year.

No, you can't prepare, but you'll have several days to work on it before it's due. What I generally do (and this may not work for you at all) is get the idea in my head and then write it out, keeping on an eye on the general word count and with the knowledge that I can generally get more exposition out of dialog than I can just from description.

Then I go back and start trimming and substituting and combining words, etc. until I have 200 exactly.

Thanks for the tip. Sounds like a great idea. :-)
