I am trying (in honestly a more dutiful way than anything else) to finish off several old WIPs or stories that I consider to be WIPs. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pir8fancier's nice talk about WIPs is entirely accurate, btw. In most cases, canon killed my ideas, or I realized that I'm just not capable of finishing certain story arcs (though I also want to add, that sometimes I'm writing a particular story or in a certain fandom because my mood and emotional state are getting something out of that pairing or plotline, and once my mood changes, I no longer need that story. I also want to point out that also, sometimes, for whatever reason, the insane need and drive to get a story out of my head just...goes away. Kittie and I talked about it once: the way an unresolved story drives you insane until it's out of you. But if we've thought about it enough, to us, it's already resolved, and we have no need to write about it).
All that being said, my life just seems especially demanding right now. I'm sure everyone's is, That's Life, as Frank would sing. But perhaps for that reason I'm really unwilling or unable to *connect* with a story right now. I'm trying to fix that, but for now the stories I'm going for lean toward the lighter side. You know, little to no blood, sweat, or tears, or any other bodily fluids.
(Though it occurs to me that maybe I have no interest in happy couples? Maybe I can only do tension and angst and problems. Maybe once I fix people I just don't care anymore. I like reading about the happy couples... Maybe that's a lack of personal experience in that area... *sadface* Hmmmm).
ANYWAY: Purpose of my rambling? That I haven't forgotten people's requests. They are stewing in my brain at this moment and I'll see what I can do. Some require things that I know for a fact will require an emotional commitment, like rewatching Hard Core Logo and opening up that can of angst. So I'm prepping myself.
At my current rate of speed, you might see your potential Xmas prezzies sometime next year.

It always does. Like, the minute Shawn and Juliet make out...where's the fun in that?
Actually, I have a MFU story I've never finished. It was long too. But I don't think anyone read it, so I don't think I'm being cruel to anyone by just leaving it there.

Shawn and Jules will NOT be getting it on in my version of events, though. We (the royal "we") are sticking with Season 1, flirting with Lassi Shawn, thank you very much.
