However if writers just are randomly stuck w. somethng that may not inspire them, and cant give it thought, then id rather see the fic given to someone inspired to do it with an extention, getting quality later than something shoddily done on time.

I actually wouldn't mind waiting a bit longer provided I knew I was getting something for sure. But then I don't think any mod worth her salt would let anyone go without. No mod has before that I can remember.
