Discussion: do you have any stalled WIPs? do you ever think you'll finish them?

Comments

I got a fic finished and away to my beta, I should be able to post it tomorrow or Friday. I also did a little planning for a chapter fic I've been working on forever.

I have one WIP that's stalled and annoyingly I know what I need to do to move it forwards but there is that one scene, a non violent confrontation, that just refuses to work. I'd like to finish it because I've already done a lot of work on it already.

Every day I make progress on more than one WIP is a good day.

I have too many stalled WIPs. Eventually, when they've stalled long enough that I decide they're never going anywhere, I move them to the 'moribund' directory where their remains can still be picked over for tasty scraps.

Aww, man, everything I've ever written is a stalled WIP, or so it feels like. :/

AO3 testifies that I have managed to finish five whole things in my life, but compared to the volume of WIP documents on my hard drive that's nothing...

I got a nice anonymous comment today about a WIP I mentioned, though, and it's inspired me to open that document and poke at it a little!

I wrote! Several hundred words even!

I have many stalled WIPs. (I haven't finished a fic in over a year and a half :/) Some I've abandoned, but there's two Black Sails fics I want to finish eventually. One is a Star Wars fusion, the other is kind of a role reversal au with pirate captain!Silver and navy lieutenant!Flint. I was over 15k into both of them when they stalled out.

Yes, I have stalled WIPs that I hope to eventually finish. I don't know if I'll be able to finish them though.

I dealt with life today, and don't have much brain power left for working on fic. We'll see how the rest of the week goes!

I have one WIP that is totally stalled, but I do plan on finishing it. I know why I'm stalled, and I just have to figure out a way to get around the plot point that is stopping me. Until then, it will remain stalled. My other WIPs are moving along, albeit very slowly at times.
