Works not-in-progress

No way am I touching that WIP meme that's going around. I am the Queen/Empress/fscking Goddess-Of-All of unfinished stories; if I never came up with another idea, and if I finished one old one a month, I would likely not run out of things to write for the rest of my life. Some of these stories are unfinished for sound aesthetic reasons, but many are languishing because I wrote so slowly that I lost interest, in the fandom/universe or in the story itself, long before they got anywhere near done. And there're quite a few that are still "live", i.e., jumping up and down in my head shouting "Now! Now!" -- but there's only one of me, drat it, and while I've improved my writing speed by orders of magnitude in recent years, they've still got me utterly outnumbered.


...Ack. In a moment of weakness, I started listing the shouters (concepts, not filenames; I doubt 8.3 would do much for anyone but me, even if some of them weren't paper- or neuron-only). I'm not sure if that was more scary or depressing, but either way -- no. I'm going to post this, and then I'm gonna go write something.

Does it count as procrastination if you avoidance yourself into doing what you ought to be doing?
