Well, I have managed to finish that AU Harry Potter [current] one-shot that has been nagging me and irritating my muses at last. Of course, I've since re-read the story, decided that the ending is quite unsatisfactory and hurried, and am being plagued by new ideas.
...I'm just going to post it now and declare it prematurely finished. I'd quite like to be able to focus on the three epic originals that I'm working on and, considering the sheer numbers of fics I read each week, it's already highly unlikely without my nitpicking at [presumably] finished stories.
Title: Decay
Summary: He may have won the war, but he cannot live forever and with each passing day, more of himself is lost.
Calignis volui regere sempiterna. [Voldemort has been defeated twice now, but he still lives on - for one cannot kill the physical representation of man's darkness anymore than one can kill God himself.]
The ending is Latin, if anyone is wondering. And I do know what it means, but my brain refuses to cooperate with me.
In addition to the random ideas (for my originals) that have been floating around my short-circuiting brain, the plotbunnies have apparently mutated once again. They're quite insist that I choose from one of the three new demon-spawn that are gnawing away at my senses.
Unfortunately, each one of them is equally strange and likely to develop into an epic that will never be finished (and, by now, I must be growing infamous for never finishing my stories).
Meh. Anyways, I think that I will end up scribbling down the beginnings of each and [hopefully] typing them up and posting them [for no reason other than a complete lack of motivation to do homework]. I'd put some obligatory ending about enjoying my insanity in the form of words, but then that would make me a good person, which I fundamentally refuse to believe I am.
But I digress. And continuing that line of thought would lead to some introspective rant in which I discover my true self or something equally full of BS.
If anyone wonders, I blame the last two paragraphs on horoscopes and the whole crappy deal with the 12 star signs and whatnot.
