Well, I'm not the OP and I don't believe humanity is going to wipe itself out very soon, and even if it were, I still find joy and purpose in things! :D

The OP has said they believe the above, though, and see no reason to write. So what's the reason for doing anything? I bothered because I'm curious. When everything is compared to "humanity will wipe itself out," there doesn't seem to be much point in anything including making a secret about it!

No reason to devote effort to a LONG-TERM project. I'm talking the next couple decades, not the next couple weeks.

It would take you a couple decades to write a fanfiction? o.O

...

Crap. That's an ambiguous "it".

No. I am neglecting the original fiction in favor of the fanfiction. (And it might not take a couple decades to finish the original fic, but the publishing?)

new anon here

Publishing could also be done fairly quick. I mean, not always. A lot of it depends on luck. But say you had a complete work and got a good agent, it wouldn't take them two decades to find a publisher. But it depends on what you want for it. It doesn't HAVE to be a published book. You could just put it online if you wanted, or self-publish it as an ebook (which is perfectly legitimate).

But, do what you want? If you don't want to get into a long thing because you want the instant gratification, that's totally fine. Nobody's forcing you to write. Just don't look back on this 20 years from now with regret.

Hey some of us are still waiting on conclusions to fics began in the 1990s. Actually I know one author who started back on paper fanzines in the 1970s and still coughs up a chapter every three or four years.

...then write stand-alone novels? Or short stories?

Although, if it took me a couple of decades to write a single novel, I'd probably give up too.
