A kid in a candy store

So I've started roughing out various ideas for my [livejournal.com profile] sshg_giftfest recipient, thinking about the different prompts, how they might be fleshed out, where they might go, how I can work in various elements. And I'm in so much trouble. Because I want to write All The Things. In fact multiple versions of All The Things. Seriously, I have at least seven different stories that are all tugging at my sleeve and whining, "Write me!" "No, write me!!" "Shut up, she's going to write ME!!"

This is a good thing, right? Right??

Well, all those stories will just have to wait their turn is all, yes?

Definitely a good thing. And the best part is that you can always go back to some of them later!

That's awesome!! Good for you!
I'm having a hard time focussing on what I need to do, and not diving in to what I want to do. More hours in the day, please. :D

That's great! Perhaps you could flesh the ideas out a bit so that you could settle on one and have the unused ideas for later. Good luck!

YES. It is AWESOME! Unless your recipient has put the kibosh on multiverse stuff. Then you might be in trouble.

But seriously, enjoy ALL THE HAPPY PLOTTING!!!

HARRY PLOTTER AND THE GREAT IDEAS

LOLOLOL! I'm more of a hairy plotter, me. So I'm like Hairy Plotter and the Order of the Narrative Frames.

I suspect that all of the ideas are feeling guilty because they know that they would just never...

No, that would be rude ;)

Best of luck!

Too many ideas is always better than too few! Write those ideas down, for a day when the idea generator isn't working as well as usual, just in case.

If my health were better, I could actually follow up more of my ideas, and that would make me happy. Maybe next year...

I wish you were still writing in Star Trek fandom, because I really liked the story you did write there. If you ever feel like dipping your toe in those waters again, I have story suggestions here and here.

I don't ship Hermione and Snape, but you're so much fun that maybe I'll read your story, anyway, once you've figured out which of your many ideas to write. :-)
