>So...a lot of fics STARTED, not so many finished. Which one goes first?
*raises hand*
Kaylee being the bad guy for a change instead of Simon would be very refreshing to read. That's my choice. But - its not really a surprise! :)
I'm not into crossovers or tales about Mal and Inara, really. I'm just picky that way:)

I don't have that many FF fic ideas (every time I start one, it seems stupid to me). But I do have a ton for Buffy and Angel. And The Dresden Files. And various Final Fantasy games. If only my insecurities didn't prevent me from writing...

Hoo, boy. Does this just mean FF'Verse stuff, or altogether?
FF: Zen II: A Game of You (provisional title) A follow-up to Zen and the Art of Mercenary Maintenance, with more on the M/R/I front.
Also, something with Jayne on Londinium. New in-laws. Ilargia's ex-husband. Golf.
I have a lot of random scenes that jump out at me, so maybe some short scribbles.
Crossovers and cameos are where it gets scary. Either Captain Jack (Sparrow or Harkness) would be fun in the 'Verse. I also have a whole cast of OC's to interact. The 'Straylight' and crew, the inhabitants of Halliwell on Hecate...
Otherwise, two full-length murder mysteries on the go, a medieval romance, something odd about vampires which isn't working out, and a huge Potterfic, which started off as a scene and is now 60,000+ words. I also had some Smallville fic, but I can't bear Lana, and never saw past season 1. The Spike/Lex/John Constantine crossover was fun to write, though.

Way too many ideas. I've written a whole bunch of little snippets of stories (not just from Firefly) and I have no idea how to really string them together. This would be why my once fairly popular fic has gone uncompleted (I'm sorry I'll get around to it eventually). This is why I need a beta, alas, nobody :(
EDIT: I've always wanted to write about Mal and Jayne on that "interesting day"...
Lets go to the Mall... Today!!!

Like Schooner said "I don't think i've ever finished a story before coming up with at least one seed for another. I really wish I could write more." Stories never end for me, even if the characters die, other stuff happens, life goes on, etc.
I've only been writing FF fanfic since March and, mainly due to some wonderful and constructive comments I've had, I'm still going strong. Just posting the first half of no.13 today. Of course the problem, like others have mentioned, it's just a spider web, and keeps going in many directions. I am still inspired to keep going, ending this as a series on no.18 and then skipping ahead a few years for another series.
My main project before this was a fantasy novel which I've been writing for over 10 years, but had kind of flagged, unsure whether to continue. Writing FF has given me the opportunity to see whether people like my style of writing, as well as open a can of worms to the FF verse. I'm hooked and will continue as long as people read my stuff.
Like I said, stories never end, they just change direction.

I had a half dozen or so ideas but I got them out of my system by writing one shots. Good fun. Now I'm writing my first BDH serial.
I know what you mean about the spiders web. Aprt from my FF stuff I'm also writing
-A series of short novella's (20-30,000 words) dealing with teenage crimnal gangs, international mercenaries, ind powers and the apocalyspe. (I've planned 8 of them)
-A trilogy of fantasy novels-about 50,000 words into book 1.
-A bunch of fanfic based on My Chemical Romance songs (writtern about three of six so far-A friend asked me to!)
-A feature length film about teenagers covering up a murder.
-A Pulp Fiction inspired short film.
-And a dozen other random story ideas including one about a war between heaven and hell.
so in twenty years, when I'm finished all of these.....
Oh, thats a good idea...
I don't wanna explode!

"Haven't you killed me enough for one day ?"
- Mal, War Stories

It's good to hear that someone else has a long term project like that. I have a fantasy saga that's been in the works for over a decade, too.
In the meanwhile, I've written two novels, many short stories, poems, non-fiction text book guides (which I get actual cashy money for -- imagine that!) and one FF fic so far. I've got ideas sketched out for three more FF stories, but...too many ideas, too little time!(And Steamer's going to come gunning for me, if I don't get a move on and finish my Beta work on his latest stuff. Sorry for the delay!)
By the way, it's even been ages since I've been on the threads here. Nice to see one I started is still getting posts! Hello, all your glorious writers of the 'verse! Keep scribbling!
If I'm gonna dream, I'm gonna dream big.
