writerkitNo. There will be no starting of new epic fanfics until you have finished the first book of the epic fanfic series you are currently writing and your Dracula Daily oneshot and at least a couple of paying stories.
See, theoretically I am a Nick/Renard shipper, but in practice that is a difficult ship to be asexual in because it tends to lean really hard into the public performance of sexuality aspects of it. Thus you get me contemplating the "we are fake dating for wesen royalty politics reasons" plotline as endgaming with a Nick/Renard/Juliette triad where the fake dating is only within the wesen world and they're trying to keep it secret at work, and of course the entire police department assumes they're hiding an affair but can't quite decide if Renard is having the affair with Nick or Juliette-- except of course for Hank who knows it's "fake" and is quietly wondering aloud to Monroe and Rosalee when they'll all realize it's real... in which we follow the time-honored tradition of "write the fic you want to read."
And yes, I'm trying to go the time-honored route of "build an audience in fanfic that will maybe follow you back to your original work." This is a route many, many people have gone before me. But I am currently 35,000 words into an epic in a different fandom, and I am going to finish that and my quick Dracula Daily silliness and some of the original short stories that have the potential to make money right now in this moment before I go starting new epics. (Ideas are the easy part. I have so very many ideas.)
