Mar. 6th, 2002 09:09 pmMinor update - I put up the Fanfic Recommendations page off my fanfic site. I haven't listed all the stories I want to, but there's plenty of good stuff to read there.
I'd like to thank everyone who's commented/e-mailed me about my earlier rant (it's here for those who missed it. Some of you have been incredibly helpful, and one or two others have missed the point.
For the latter group: If I'm not inspired to write something, I can't write it. No amount of begging and pleading will cause the creativity demons to re-awaken; it'll just guilt me into struggling to write something that I'm not enjoying in the least. So my Gargs fics are most definitely going on hiatus until I stop being so irritated with them. (This DOESN'T include TGS assignments, however.) Special Case and Bloodlines are stalling big time. I'm not intentionally becoming uninspired here, folks: the idea either dies or goes to sleep, whether I like it or not. Telling me to stop whining and get inspired (I really did get an e-mail like this. You know who you are.) is not going to change a thing. I created The Dust Bin to deal with this.
As for my problem - well, no, I'm not giving up on fandom, but I'm streamlining. I'm too spread out right now, and my work is suffering as a result. I've been able to relieve some stress with fan arts (one for Demonology 101 and one for Utukki), but that's just stress relief. I mean, I haven't done a Stargate transcript in FOREVER, the Gargs page is gathering dust, people are screaming at me to fix problems on the Now and Again site that I know are there but don't have time to fix, and it's after 9:15 and I really need to crash so I don't sleep through my alarm again.
I am slowly but surely revamping the web site bit by bit, starting with the text bits first, and maybe moving to pics once I get a copy of Photoshop. (I've officially had it with PSP 5.) I'm gonna cut a few things down, trim some things... all the sub-sites will remain, but whether they'll be updated remains to be seen. I mean, really, it's all too much. And I need to clear my brain of cobwebs so that "Xander and Anya hit Vegas" story idea doesn't get suffocated. God, "Hell's Bells" made me so mad.
Night, all...
