Of Author Notes and Ramblings #1

I didn't really think I'd ever use my blog on AFF, but I guess here am I writing it now. I don't even know what 'm doing. I just wanted to get a few ramblings and stuff about... well, my stories and other... stuff. 

In regards to my story "Is It Me, Is It You," I kinda wanna drop the fic. The reason why, is because I just really don't feel like it'll go anywhere. I mean, in the beginning with "Slow Dance," it was meant to just be a two-shot and nothing more. There were no plans whatsoever to expand on it, and it was going to be left at just that one story. But then I got pressured from the readers to continue, and I felt bad because there aren't that many authors for the Tasty fandom. So, I was like okay then, a spin-off and that's it. 

Guess what happened then? Some people were still insisting for a sequel. I was just planning to ignore those comments, but then I got a random burst of inspiration. That's actually how I came up with the title for the sequel, from the song "Is It Me, Is It You" by Maribelle Anes. Yeah, I know. A lot of my fics are inspired by throwback songs. Anyway, so I started writing the sequel, which I intended to keep fairly short (like 5-7 chapters). After giving it some more thought, I started to form an actual plot for the sequel. Hell, I have three different endings for it! 

Now, you're probably wondering what the problem is... or you actually don't give a . Anyway, I have this tendency to drop long term fics. I have never finished a chaptered fic, ever. Even when I was on FF.net, I have never finished a single one of the chaptered fics I started. You see, I tend to lose all interest in things very quickly. Regardless of if it's a fic, book, roleplay, hobbies, or even a conversation etc., I'll just suddenly get bored and want to drop it. This is why I was initially hesitant to write the sequel in the first place. But yeah, getting to the point of this... oh god, I'm not even sure if I have one to make. 

I wanna drop the fic, but I want you guys to read the ending. The problem with that, is I can't just write the final chapter be like, "Here, this is how it ends. I'm done." I need to write the chapters following up to it, for it to make any sense whatsoever. Gah! What am I going to do? 

Oh well, I'll figure out something.

omg i know exactly how you feel. i've been writing for like 7 years now and i haven't finished a multi-chaptered fic that's more than like 4 chapters, either. but anyways, maybe you should just take a break? you said you had writer's block, so just take your time with it. maybe type up the ending if you haven't already and just continue when you feel like you can or something. or try writing out the few ending you thought of and possibly it would give you some ideas what to put in the middle or something. idk.
