Writing meme stolen from minisinoo
List five ideas or plots for stories you'll probably never write, and why you won't write them.
(I doubt Min is going to mind if I yanked this from her.)
1. (Gemmy) Follow up story to Eden.
It won't happen for two reasons. The first being that I completely screwed my own timeline writing Eden in the first place (it was actually supposed to work with Dracula 2000), and second, the amount of research it would require is too enormous. Although I did once have a good plot idea...*stares wistfully into the distance*
2. (Gemmy) Sequel to Bittersweet.
The trouble with Bittersweet is that it's meant to stand alone. I never intended a follow up, and I'll probably never do one.
3. (SW) A story where Obi-wan discovers a way to save Qui-Gon, and in doing so, changes the future.
While this is an excellent idea (and certainly not one I birthed on my own), it's simply too large of a story to do. It would wind up being like Cassandra Claire's famous Draco trilogy. I've seen this type of story done in bites; Anne Higgins is well-known for her Bonding series, but she only deals with the Phantom Menance and stops.
I would want to change everything, from Qui-Gon alive, to Anakin NOT turning to the Dark Side, to Padme and Ani's marriage, to the birth of Luke and Leia, to the Jedi Temple remaining alive and well, to Leia meeting Han, and Luke meeting Mara, to the birth of all THEIR children...but the research required would be incredible, not to metion all the plot twists and holes you'd have to avoid. I'm toying with the idea of working with it up to and including the rearing of Luke and Leia (they would be definably different, I think), but I'm not sure yet.
4. (Original) The OT3 get married.
While I love the idea to bits, the way the Silver Alliance is set up...it ain't possible. There will be heartbreak and some pathos and probably some wangst. I've thought about writing an AU...but honestly, that's cheating. Writing an AU on your own original is just lame. So no happy marriage...although it seems the twins will still make an appearance. Now I've got figure out HOW.
5. (Star Moon:AU) Something with a goddamn plot.
Since Aakii hasn't been around in months (and months), I'm seriously considering shutting the project down. I'm not feeling her, and I turned her into a bitch from the very beginning (which was not my intention), and now I'm caught up with TSA (and uni work). So I very much doubt that I'll be writing anything about her soon.
