Ooh, Exiles! Is it bad that I totally respect Rawn's reasons for not finishing, but I really just want someone to write an epic longfic that will give me a sense of closure?
I totally hear you on having cool ideas as a kid that you don't quite have the skill to write.
I discovered Pern at age 12, and my first two fic ideas were basically "Kylara lives AU w/a slow-burn redemption arc" which I actually started writing but didn't have the skill to finish...I'm pretty sure there was both a coma and Movie!Amnesia involved, and "Menolly goes back to Half-Circle and shows up everyone" which I actually did finish, and iirc wasn't bad considering that I was, well, 13. I had no idea until much later that writing fanfic was actually a thing other people did, and then put on the internet ;)
