So, I know I haven't posted for ages, I'm in my final year of university. Time is precious, what can I say? I still read things and comment when I can.

And in light of that I give you a poll. I was hit by inspiration in a rather dull lecture today and have a brilliant idea for a new multi chaptered Viggorli fic. However, I felt dubious about starting a WIP as I don't have a great amount of time or a great track record. I still have two old WIPs (Rubies - Viggo/Sean/Orlando - and The Roman Viggorli) languishing even though I did finish Squiggles at Christmas. And there's half-written other pairing bits and pieces.

All that in consideration, this idea is still burning a hole in the side of my brain. I want to write it. Razzle suggested I tell myself I can once I've dealt with one of my other WIPs, that I should tell myself I can only have two WIPs at a time.

So, vote and tell me, bearing in mind I'm not going to be posting three times a week on anything given the pile of work on my desk.

As always, I take these things too seriously, but if a new fic is burning a hole in your brain and the others aren't, I'd say work on the new fic. You're excited about it. There's nothing quite like working on a story when the excitement level is high. Why put that off? This is supposed to be for fun, after all. Your other WIPs are suffering for your lack of time, true, but if you were as excited by either of them, you'd be thinking about them in a dull lecture, not the new one. (so says the girl who is currently working on five WIPs, and no, they're not all posted yet)

And it just occurred to me that I volunteered a while ago to review the stories on your list and give you some honest feedback as to style, plot, etc. Do you still need me to do that? (my brain is apparently mush) I'm sorry I apparently dropped the ball on that. *hugs*

Yeah, I think I might start writing it even if I don't post until its developing nicely.

And it's okay, I would still be interested in which fics you actually think are good as opposed to fun or whatever. I'm still trying to actually work on my ability to write and I would like an opinion on what I do well and what I need to improve.
