Ups and Downs

[kriadydragon]

Up: I've finally finished a fic that's been sitting in my hard-drive for - if I were to guess - about four years, probably more. It's a doozy of a Shep-whumper and I finally ended it - yay! :D:D:D:D:D

Down: Someone picked one of my prompts for team_sga, but will be doing OT4 instead of Gen. This makes me sad because that's the prompt I really wanted someone to pick. Well, someone has, but unless it's OT4 with your goggles on then I probably won't be able to read it *hangs head sadly*. I find it rather cruel irony but *shrugs* not much I can do about it except, perhaps, write my own story for the prompt sometime in the far future. It just.. yeah, makes me sad:(.

But my dragon prompt was chosen, and the writer is going to make it gen, so that's a plus :D.

Just need to edit it and have it beta'd. I'm hoping to have up either this week or the beginning of next.

What's the prompt that got picked that's going to be OT4?

[kriadydragon.livejournal.com]

The zombie apocolypse one. You can put in the prompts if you prefer gen, and I knew it wouldn't necessarily be a garauntee that the person who picked the prompt would go with writing a gen story. But it's still kind of a downer, because I was really hoping to read such a story and now I might not be able to.

Oh well.

Okay, I apologize that I'm kind of using you to get things off my chest, but I seem to be having a bit of an emotional day (I really hate those days) and for that reason this refuses to leave me alone.

It's a bit frustrating, because the same author signed up for another person's prompt - a person who who doesn't mind a story being gen or OT4 - and the author opted to do gen for that person's prompt.

I know it's all a matter of what the prompt inspires, and that the author got an idea for an OT4 from my prompt. I get that, understand it, but I still can't help feeling a little frustrated.

I suppose this should teach me to be more careful about handing out ideas. I do tend to go overboard with it.

Again, apologies for this.

Well, nothing says you can't still write your own gen zombie apocalypse idea. I love a good zombie apocalypse: you can never have too many!

Very true :D. But it's going to be a while before I write it. I need to keep my list of "things to write" as short as possible for the time being.
