Every fanfic writer I know has one.

I have a sequel to a fic from forever ago that I just…haven’t gotten to writing. I’ve started and stopped at least three times! I don’t know why it’s been such a struggle.

What about you?

    One I’ve held onto too long and have recently told myself to let it go was a crossover of Waiting for Godot and Pokémon. However my brain just could not plan it out beyond the initial meta joke of “fandom in denial about TPC respecting their time/money”.

    As for ideas I’m still clinging to…

    Crossover of YGO: Duel Monsters and CRAWL. I have a bunch of ideas doodled out and notes but don’t have it properly organised. The narrator of CRAWL is absolutely King Thief they are one and the same to me lol.

    Writing some wlw for Sakuna of Rice and Ruin. Sakuna and her best friend Kokorowa have a lot of fun potential! (I also need to state that I’m the only person to have written anything for this game in English. Pain.)

    Pokémon GS/HGSS but specifically about the power the player (once upon a time) has over the rival’s name and using that as a tool. Pokémon but what is the golden/pure heart Ho-Oh is looking for (which is now wrapped up with the other idea explaining what had happened to the Brass Tower). Fixits of all of the massive plotholes SwordShield and ScarletViolet have.

    Fixit of the massive horrible mess of Pacific Rim: Uprising. So many good ideas that should of been separate films but instead they choke on each other in one.

    What if Jurassic World kept the heart of the anti-capitalsim of the original book and first film. What if we explored the coolest idea in Jurassic World that was just a news clipping shoved in the background. “the worth of allowing once extinct animals go extinct again” and compared to other animals we once thought to be extinct and we are studying in real life today.

    (Insert 50+ more ideas here lol)

      Ohhh… You had me at fixit of PR:U. That was a mess.

      Also the JW one. Loved the vibe of the first film & then it just became churn (now with added dinosaurs!). 😢

        I usually just leave when I witness such carelessness but I was enthralled by how many good ideas that were there. PR:U is at least 4 films smashed into one but I haven’t had the time/brain matter to start organizing the tangled structures yet.

        JW is just… holy fuck someone on the writing team at one point actually research what its like working with dangerous animals. Original Owen hits a lot of notes my loved ones who work in the field have had to tackle with! but those writers either were removed or very likely, the suits told them no. You can have a “monster film” without making animals senseless hunters goddammit.
