Snowflake Challenge #5: The White Whale

Challenge #5: In your own space, talk about an idea you wish you had the time / talent / energy to do. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it.

It’s hard to chose an idea here. I’m good at having ideas. I want to do a lot of different projects. But I guess I’ll choose the one thing: my chronic inability to finish a novel-length fic. I’m great at starting them. I’ve started about ten in earnest, not counting the attempts that stalled at one or two chapters. The longest so far has reached a mind-boggling 130k and is still nowhere near finished, and I doubt I’ll ever get around to it. It’s not that I don’t have the energy (which I blamed it on for the longest time), the talent or the time. I just… get distracted. That’s it really. I’ll just come up with a new idea, watch a new series, etc. before I’m finished with a project.

So, here’s a small selection of fic I started:

• Aegon and Rhaenys Targaryen survive AU (that’s the 130k one)
• Jon Snow goes to King’s Landing AU
• Game of Thrones Modern!AU set in a modern Westeros
• Ned Stark time travel/reincarnation AU
• Cassian Andor as a Jedi AU
• Jyn was adopted by the Organas AU
• Carnival Row AU where Absalom Breakspear survives (the latest one, which I last worked on in October)
