Unfinished projects
I was curious how much I really had in progress and unfinished. I just methodically went through the folder with all my fanfic and noted all the ones that weren't mere prompt notes, but had some significant writing in them.

Yow.
I'll see your 'yow' and raise you an 'eeeeeeep...'
Sigh. Why do we do this to ourselves? I think I know why I do it. It's because I get stuck, and I pick up something else to tinker with, and before I know it, it's been six months.
Yup, that's how it goes with me too. I'm also easily distracted. By shiny things. And bumble bees.
My fandoms tend to cycle quite naturally, but there are some I keep coming back to more than others. So I could look at my unfinished stories and predict which ones are likely to be picked up again at some point, and which ones have pretty much had it.
Anyway. It's nice to know I'm not the only one!
The ones I, personally, want to see the most:
Shotgun Wedding
the Dormant sequel
the knighting one
Once and Future Watcher
mpreg
Holmes crossover
Signet Ring
Thusia-verse
