Fannish Friday: Unfinished Business

[lirazel]

Do you have any creative endeavor (fic, art, meta, vids, whatever) that you've been nominally working on for at least a year or two but you've never been able to actually finish?

I'm especially interested if it's something from an older fandom that you've mostly moved on from now...something that feels like Unfinished Business and that you truly want to finish and hope that you will sometime.

Or maybe there's a particular aspect of an old fandom's canon that you really wanted to explore (a character, a theme, whatever), that you haven't ever really dug into, but it lives in your mind, and you know you still want to.



For me, it's Life with Derek (do not laugh! Okay, you can laugh, but only if it's in a fond way!). I need to hash out Derek/Casey in fic. I need to do it. I have at least two fics sitting on my harddrive that I started but never finished. I want to finish them! But I just never have! And yet, I feel that someday I will.

I started a podfic for Aral Vorkosigan's Dog (a novel length Vorkosigan Saga fic) just SO many years ago at this point. I got through nearly a third of the fic, then realised I'd been pronouncing Vorkosigan and all the other Vor names incorrectly the whole time (a Germanic v instead of a Slavic one) and I couldn't decide between leaving it be and maintaining a consistent pronunciation throughout, fixing the pronunciation for the remainder of the podfic, or starting again from scratch. At this point it's extraordinarily unlikely I'll go back to it but some part of me still insists that I haven't given up on it yet!

Oh my gosh, that must have been SO deflating when you figured out that you'd done it wrong! My heart hurts for you!
