Challenge deadlines: should we have them or not?

Do deadlines spur you to write? Or do they just stress you out and make your muse stubborn?

Should some kinds of challenges have deadlines while others do not? If so, which kinds should go sans deadlines?

What if we opened up a new challenge every week at the same time, and did not have deadlines. Would that make you more interested in the challenges?

Please give me some input here ... it's all about tempting your muse.

With all the essays, study guides, and thick packets i've been getting lately in school a deadline for fics is a problem for me. That and the only internet time I get is at school since I have a D. My mother wont let me on at home. So I wouldn't be able to post my entry even if I had it done.

Just thought I would take a two minute break from essay writing to mention that, yes, the deadline was helpful when I wrote the fic for the So that's why they call it.... challenge.

Its true that with tons of school work and only being able to go online is a problem. I've had to keep putting off writing this fic because I'm writing a story for school and its due 2 days after this fic is and I don't have time for both.
