I ask you, my peeps: Big Bang advice, please?

[vanitashaze]

Apparently sgabigbang's in its final year. No surprise, with the show ending; fandom will move on, and indeed it appears that most of it already did. In a way I feel cheated, coming into SGA as I did - that is to say, late - but I suppose it's my own damn fault, or maybe fate, or a combination of both. One way or another, that's the way it is.

My point is: if it weren't the last year, I probably wouldn't be considering signing up for the Big Bang. I have the attention span of a gopher; I write pretty little 3000-5000 word character pieces with no visible plot. I can't do dialogue. But it's the last year, and I'm not nearly ready to let go of this fandom yet.

I don't want it to be something I regret not doing.

Conversely, I don't want to get halfway through and regret it then because I can't do it.

So. Yeah. Advice?

For the completely selfish reason that I would love to read that many words from your brain, I say do it. On a non-selfish front, I'll say this. You might as well try it, yes? If you don't make it, you don't make it. You tried something new for the first time. You can't expect perfection, you know? I say go for it, whatever the outcome.

Good advice, I suppose; thank you and, for whatever reason, I have signed up for it, so hopefully you will get to be reading that many words from my brain. Though if it all goes south, I'm blaming you!

(Just kidding.)

It will not go south! I promise! And I'll be here to discuss/cheerlead/give lots of love any time you need it. Were gonna make this happen!!!

Oh, go for it, obviously. For all the reasons you listed, plus, I want to read it, but whether you finish or not, writing is never wasted, so why wouldn't you try?

Ha. Writing may not be wasted, but time can be; I don't want to end up writing myself into circles, as I have done in the past when I tried for something big, and if it's not wasted languishing on my harddrive, I'd be hard-pressed to think exactly what it's doing.
