So I had to drop [livejournal.com profile] startrekbigbang. My fic is simply too long. What I have written is nearing something like 60K and is only about 75% of the actual story as I'm looking at my little outline of doom here. Not gonna lie, I'm pretty sad about this because I felt like I was closer to the end than I actually was and it was kind of a sudden decision for me, and a really tough call. As it is I feel like it's far from impossible for me to finish at this point, but the dealbreaker is having the worry that I won't be able to fix things into as good a shape as I would want to otherwise. It's just really frustrating, when I've planned out the entire thing as working really well in one format and suddenly it's something that will just be a regular multi-chaptered fic. And even if I could see myself bringing this idea back next year (I'm patient, but I don't know), I actually already have another fic I'm planning on writing if I sign up again as it was the idea I dropped to work on the newer idea. Fuck-a-doodle-doo.

I will probably make myself feel better by posting a snippet of the fic at some point, now that I'm totally allowed to do that. But as of now I may actually get something done for [livejournal.com profile] reel_startrek, which is nice. It's just kind of weird to suddenly place my priority on something else after being so singularly focused on the big bang for months.

oh mate, that must be disappointing. *hug* Work on your new stuff, and maybe you can revisit it later afresh?

*hug* I will probably do that. It just feels weird to suddenly take a break from it, even though I'm also looking forward to working on other things.
