hello dear people!
I don't usually talk to people on here but prefer to just expand on my giant moodboard-as-a-blog, but I might need the help of some writers.
As an English student, of course, I am already bearing the weight of dozens of unfinished writing projects. I am in a bit of a pickle right now and it's all thanks to a fictional man (as if it ever wasn't).
Due to catching some kind of infection last week I had a lot of time to actually read, watch and write things for enjoyment rather than losing my mind over assignments or the stupidity of people at my food service job.
So, as one does, I watched the Acolyte because I saw a gifset of Qimir a few weeks ago. That was my first mistake. Because of my ADHD I do often get a bit obsessive with my new interests, but this is on a new level. I haven't written actual prose in some time and rather focused on poetry but that man makes me want to write a story so self-indulgent that I would have to go to confession after completion of it.
And this is were my problem lies. I have not written fanfiction since my late teens, just other prose. Furthermore, while I did watch the Star Wars movies at some point in my life, I'm far from an expert in the worldbuilding and plot aspects of it.
Now I am standing inbetween the starting points of two paths:
1. Write a story with my own worldbuilding and a mmc that is Qimir inspired, which would give me more freedom in all creative manner but would also mean that I would lose some bit of Qimir and also not be able to distribute the story to as many readers on the first try (a personal problem as my ADHD does make me into a total attention whore).
2. Write a fanfic with the worldbuilding of the Star Wars franchise and keep Qimir as he is (my biggest wish), but losing creative control as I need to squeeze my plot into the already existing framework. However, I could distribute the story both on ao3 and on tumblr and reach more readers, which would make the writing process more enjoyable.
I am at a loss of what to do. Fanfic writers of tumblr, please help me!
