Well, the good thing about the challenge is that we decided already from the start that we'd be rather laidback and not demand that ppl actually finish anything for it, just that they have fun. ;) We have a lot of participants who get a card and then we never see anything from them. lol But that's fine. If we could inspire them to finish even one thing or at least enjoy plotting and planning something, then it's a win, in my book. :)

Oh! I understand! Way back, I only wrote with a co-writer, and after a few years of that it was really difficult to write anything on my own! It took me a long time to get comfortable again with trying to drive the writing forward on my own, without input from anyone else. I wish I could give any advice on how to tackle it, but I think I mainly just tried. And failed. And then tried again. ;) I do remember thinking "what would co-writer have put in here at this point?" when I felt like I got stuck.

Yep! Honestly, I think that, as unfinished as it was, it would have been better if she'd abandoned it completely and let the readers have their own ideas of how it continued. I might read beyond that, if I'm in the mood, but only to check if there's any canon-altering info for the main plot... or something. Or I'll just label it as "canon-compliant up to volume" whatever it was... 8? 9? :)
