This is the WIP that does not end
So I still have a Smallville WiP that I haven't finished.
I keep trying to convince myself to let it go, that the fandom is on it's way out, and that nobody cares as much about this story as I do. In fact, this story has been stretched out for over a year, and isn't even half-way done.
Unfortunately, it refuses to leave me alone. Even when I decide to let it languish on my hard drive, it rears its head at inopportune moments (when I can't actually write it) and feeds me little plot points, or character details. I'm beginning to think that this particular story won't leave me alone until I finish it.
I feel rather self indulgent, but I'd like to know who would actually care if I finish this thing (even if it is only so I can stop harping on about it). I really want to get it all out of my head, but if I'm writing for an audience of one, it's really not worth the time that I will need to invest in it. I'm studying in my writing course at the moment, and if I'm being selfish about my work I would be better off putting the time into my assignments).
Anyway, perhaps this is self-indulgent, but it's my journal, and if I'm going to be self-indulgent this is the place to do it. If you have an opinion either way, please let me know, so I can either have some motivation to finish, or alternatively, I can have the closure I need to let this one go.
