Wow, it's been forever since I was on this forum...
I can really, *really* relate with this thread, as some of you already know...I really wish I'd actually finished my fic, but one of two obstacles always impeded my path:
1) I could never get the plot or dialogue to match what I'd think up while brainstorming.
and
2)I didn't have much time after a year or so, as my life accelerated to ever-increasing paces.
I guess another factor might have been the community. Not that anyone was really a jerk or anything...Well, at least, no one I met here. I just kept reading some of the other fanfics, and for some reason, I just wasn't feeling that the pursuit of my story was all that important. It didn't seem like it belonged with the rest of the content, and it probably didn't help that my writing proficiency and understanding was still evolving at a much more rapid rate than at present.
I honestly do wish I'd finished it, but the fact that I still receive positive comments and reviews of what I did post today is nice...I'd at least like to post a summary of what I was thinking might happen, if anyone was interested. The rest of A Jedi's Destiny would have probably veered more towards the Star Wars side of the equation, so I'm not sure if many here would have actually been interested in it. Still, I suppose it'd be better than just leaving it as it is.
Sorry about this post, I just decided to pop on here, and this thread title got me thinking.
Back to the regular thread...
