Thess vs Sequels (ish)
Okay. So. I wrote a fic awhile back (I generally mention it parenthetically for reasons that will get more words later, it’s A Friend To The Tormented, it lives on AO3, here you go)...
And now I have follow-up fics in my head for it.
And I want to write them.
Except I don’t want to want to write them.
Because I think it would be totally full of myself to expand on something I already wrote. Yes, it might be something that the people who read it might be interested in, but they might not and I’m not going to foist it on people. Even though I’m not foisting it on anyone if I sit it on AO3 and link to it occasionally and I’d slap anyone who said that about their own work with pompoms.
Imposter syndrome, executive dysfunction, and the self-esteem of a fucking whelk. Those are my problems.
I swear to the fucking gods, if there’s reincarnation, first thing I’m doing after I meet my natural end is to ask whether I’ve been a good enough person to unlock Easy Mode.
