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.

True. I just feel guilty starting something new when I've got so much else unwritten. That said, new stuff is the best writing because it's freshest.

I agree. I totally hear you. I've got two more Vigorli wips started and a new one came to me this week. But I remind myself that this is 'fandom'. readers are quite happy to read what you write and are, imho, very forgiving. most of the folkes reading your stuff don't leave comments but are excited when new pic is posted. but more than any of that, you should (and I don't use THAT word lightly) be writing what makes you excited to write. because it's YOUR writing. and it's a hobby.
