I once had a big fanfic idea, but gave up because of my poor non-native english grammar, for having set the bar too high about it’s content and my complete lack of talent for area descriptions that came from trying to do it like a t.v. script. I still have about one and a half of what would represent an episode written.
I wonder how many people give up before releasing anything? what kind of story they tried to write? and stuff like that sometime.
Me I was trying to do a serious version of the prisoner, you know the series with numbers, set in the pony world. I had enough new ideas to not be a copy pasta, apart from the beginning that doesn’t have a million of way to happen, and a final that I thought was worthy of both shows heritage.
