I think I need to face the fact that "Incendium" is never going to get done, which means the decision I need to make now is whether I want to post Part I as an individual story. Part I is set-up for the rest of the fic, but it's self-contained; it ends in a way that should hopefully make you go "I wish there were a sequel" and not "where the fuck is the rest of it." Should there ever come a day when I do finish the rest, Part II and III can go out as the continuation.
Technically, there is no problem. It's all... emotional, I guess. It's the same motivation behind the fact that there are some fics I've never posted, even though I love them dearly and they ARE complete, because posting is a form of letting go. I have a hard time letting go. If I post Part I, it's almost like admitting that there really is no chance for me to finish the rest. On the other hand, I hate that this fic is never seeing the light of day when I'm really proud of it. On the other other hand, I also can't deal with the fact that the fandom has grown exponentially since I started writing it back in June. I have a fragile ego okay? :/
In the end, I always do what I wanna do, but I just had to mope a bit about it first.
