Stop it.

If so many episodes of SG-1 are riddled with holes and lacking in the things I enjoy most (friendship and caring as examples), why do I continue to write fic trying to fix them? They can't be fixed. They were lacking to begin with and nothing I can write can change that fact. I can write everyone giving a crap about injured/missing/distraught team member X, but if my screen showed them not giving a shit, why bother inserting my version of what should have happened? Why not just start afresh to begin with?

I think I'm trying to figure out why I'm hanging on to so many WiP episode tags and rewrites. It's overwhelming. I found three more on my laptop that I'd forgotten about. I just need to throw away the duct tape, forget the cracked episodes, and go with the shiny new stuff I could be writing instead.

Ahem. In recent months that's a 20,000 word gen season 1 rewrite and an 89,000 word AU slash novel set in season 5.

So, what have you done for me lately? ;)

My friend's dog ate my 646,384 word novel. I'll get back to you on that...
