I hope this isn't rude of me to ask but since most of dsmp hype has died down I was wondering if you have stopped your writing? And if so, would you ever consider posting a rough timeliness of what you had planned for some of your stories? I've always been curious about the manhunt au and where that was going. Again, sorry if this was rude to ask and no pressure obviously, I just miss your stories :)
I have a few asks in my inbox wondering about various stories of mine, so I'll use this ask as a chance to answer all of them :)
Unfortunately, I don't have a solid answer. I haven't been writing as much as I used to because of various chaotic life things. The constant discourse in the main fandom has worn me down, but I'm still interested in writing about these ccs, I just don't spend as much time thinking about stories. The mcyt gt fandom has changed too and a lot of the people I knew no longer post here. I do feel guilty for not interacting with folks, and I hope to change that.
I still care deeply about a lot of these aus but I just don't know if I'll ever have the chance to finish them. This isn't a definite answer, I might post snippets occasionally, but not very often. My focus is going to be on finishing some other pieces of writing first before I can think about my g/t stuff.
The pressure of completing a story really weighs on me. I think the only way I'll be able to keep writing is if I just post snippets without having to worry about writing the whole story, but I'm not sure if that's what people would want. Would it be better for me to post pieces of a story that might never be continued, or to not post unless I'm certain I'll finish it?
The manhunt au is one that will sadly probably fall into the "never finishing" category because it's just too long of a story for me to properly write and because when my hard drive failed, I lost so much of my worldbuilding and writing for it. I'll have to decide if I want to share a timeline for it or if I should try and rewrite some scenes from memory instead, sharing it as a collection of snippets rather than as a finished fic.
Long story short: I want to keep writing, but I don't know if I can. The pressure of staying active and writing might be too much for me. I'll have to decide what I want to do with my stories.
Would people prefer I a: post things whenever I write them even if I don't think I'll continue them or b: only post things I feel confident that I'll finish?
