Re: Writing Thread

So I'm almost finished a WIP only two people ever reviewed, and looking at the quality of the unbeta'd chapters (my beta quit on me two chapters in), it was... well, it wasn't awful, but it really wasn't my best writing overall. And it's definitely hard to finish it. There's a lot of continuity issues, which is to be expected. A lot has remained exactly as I planned, but a lot of things changed as well - a background character ended up having a much larger role, for instance.

In any case, it's a bit... depressing's the wrong word. I don't know what the right word is. I guess I just don't know what to do with it. I'm torn between just finishing it off and letting it go, or getting a proper beta reader once I have the last chapter. I've also considered spinning off the minor character I mentioned - she's basically an OC as we only ever hear about her by name, and even that was in a post-canon interview with the author. So I'm hesitant, although the canon character she's with is important in the canon series, and his search for redemption is important in my fic. Plus, my other main characters are so minor they're as good as OCs themselves.

I don't regret writing it - it's been fun, and I think once I do finish it off, it'll also be easier for me to actually finish an original WIP. I've learned a lot about the sorts of things I like to write. Just not sure what my next step is, if there is a next step.
