I'm taking part in two big Bangs and one fest and they're all Merlin centric. It makes me feel kind of guilty how much I've been sucked into this fandom and so quickly. This is the first time in a long time that I've written long fic, in fact. Something I seem unable to do in the White Collar fandom. But I'm starting to suspect that my plot bunnies have a thing for sci-fi and fantasy (gee, I wonder why? :P).
On a totally unrelated note because the TV is on the opening of the Olympics, what the heck is with America's uniforms? We look like friggin' sailors.
Anyway, it's not that I'm done writing White Collar - I still have ideas and stories I would like to write - but I have been writing less of it and I always feel kind of bad when that happens.
On an interesting note... well, interesting to me... my motivation has been rekindled for a story I had plotted many, many, many moons ago - I'm thinking about a decade or so - which is odd because most stories from that time I've either forgotten about or have no desire to write. It was from the days when I had the imagination for a good fantasy but not really the skills to make it more than just this thing I wanted to write. Thing is, it's a very epic story, and I mean very epic, as in I had planned it to be five books long and I still have yet to complete a trilogy. Plus, being over a decade old I've... forgotten some of the more important parts :S
But that's okay as it was in dire need of improvement. Still, though I always told myself that one day I would write this I never thought I would actually want to. And yet for reasons I don't understand, just the other day I was suddenly hit with the overwhelming desire to tackle it once again. Seriously, this, like, came out of nowhere. I've never had any story idea rekindled with this much passion or from so long ago. I want to write this. And that gives me hope for other ideas.

Perhaps your drive to write long fic for Merlin has renewed your interest in this long overdue epic.........
