Spitball Scenes: To Post or Not?

weird title i know orz

 

Spitball scenes - it's what I call scenes that I write raw. They come straight from my train of thought without actually having ever board the train? How do I explain this... They're scenes that I stop myself from daydreaming about and write out in a rush of excitement and usually, yeah, they're just scenes that aren't worth to be called one-shots or drabbles since there is always more to them. Or they read more like bullet points or scrip writing. Potentially, they're scenes that might never actually make it to the final cut, or it's a scene when I wasn't/didn't know the characters [but now I do] or they're scenes where I was so pumped to write for but have lost inspiration for.

An example would be the EXO (OT12) CardAU that I've been sitting on for 3 years [going on 4]. The one I've been telling myself to switch to OT9 because dangit, Odd, LET GO OF THE PAST! 

But the thing is, I'm pretty sure I won't get that story done anytime soon [as I'm focusing on another project; darker and heavier] let alone post it publicly for others to enjoy silently. But the scenes that I've written for it are just so capturing to me that I just want to share?? Because if I go back in my files just to read those scenes on my down days then I'm pretty sure that someone out there would too.

That is, if they had access to it.

A large part of me is scared that someone will steal those scenes and claim them as theirs. I'm not saying that I'm a superior "writer" and that my scenes are "godly", but I know that there are people out there that steal scenes like these. I've seen it before so you could say I've had bad experience with this. But in the same breath, I don't mind someone taking a bit of my dialogue as inspiration, or a scene of the scene.

I...just want to share them. In hopes that maybe it'll inspire someone out there to resume their own story, or they think of a new story because of this dialogue or action portrayed in this or that scene. Maybe these spitball scenes could just be a 3 minute getaway from work or school or just life. Maybe it'll make them laugh or smile; get angry at certain words or actions from a character or just help someone dull for just a quick second. Maybe one of the scenes is something that someone out there has been wishing or dreaming to read. I don't know. I don't know.

I guess...I just want another opinion besides the fighting between me, myself and I.

(wow this felt great to get out lol)
(and if I ever do, I wouldn't even know where to post them... tumblr? blogpost here? they're all kpop related)
