fanfic? rpg? WHAT DO I DOOOO

[NumiTuziNeru]

right.

so, the muse hit me with a hammer again.
and i got this weird idea.

there's a girl who's gone from friendly and pretty average to calculating and obsessed with finding this one child who's held in hibernation inside a crystal on a tiny crystalline wasteland.

no matter what.

i was thinking of making it an rp [as you could probably see before i deleted it]
but then i realized that it was WAAY too embedded in my own [ubercomplicated] universe and would take tons of explaining.

so i decided it was more fanfic material.

only now i have two problems.

one, i have a habit of starting things, then going 'ah, screw it' halfway through
and
two, I HAVE NO IDEA WTF TO DO WITH IT ANYWAY

so.

halp?

Ummmmm............write a fic and try to stick with it?

Seriously, that's all I can suggest. If you make it an RP, not only will you have to explain your own complicated world, you'll also have to deal with other people adding their own input--and while that's great and kind of the point of an RP, with a story like this, you might not actually WANT them to.

Though if you don't mind, then I suggest making it an RP and explaining as much of the complicated stuff in the opening post as possible. And add a line saying something like, "include the sentence "I love cheese" in your introductory post so I know you read all this." Or something.

But then, if you'd rather write it as a fic, you could make it a study/practice in starting something and sticking with it. XD

Sorry. I'm not much help. DX

If you have ideas that simply must be written down, do so.

When I have fic ideas, I'll just write down the parts I have entirely worked out, even if they're just random scenes, here and there. It's like outlining, but more fleshed out. I do sometimes have the last scene written before the first, but it's a nice guarantee that I won't get stuck halfway through. When I have as much written down as possible, I go back and connect everything.

Maybe this would work in this case? :3
