Heh, sometimes I think deadline stress is the only form of inspiration I have. :D
The main reason I'm feeling the pressure for the kinkmeme things -- and I should clarify, really: there are four things in this category, which are spread between Doc3 (one of them) and Doc2 (the other three) -- is deadline-related. I started Doc3's story back before the Fill-A-Thon, and when that was announced I thought, 'great, I'll make that my deadline!' But the Fill-A-Thon came and went and I was nowhere close, so now I feel as though I'm way behind on it. The other three things are actually responses to a reverse-prompt thread, so there's the dual pressure of "I know someone wants this!" and "if I don't post regularly, those people will think I've abandoned them". Plus, of course, the fact that it's a reverse-prompt thread: I started it! I asked for this, so flaking out feels extra terrible on a personal level.
So, uh. Yeah.
Beyond those things, I suppose the things I should prioritise are the two largest Dave/Tavros fics, since they are large and therefore closer to completion than anything else. (PlusI know valmora has been super busy with real-life stuff lately, and it hopefully would be a nice surprise for her to come online and find!) One's a kinkmeme-inspired story that was supposed to be PWP but developed massive amounts of build-up and worldbuilding; the other's a fun exercise in biased narrators, but it needs some plot injections or maybe even major revamping.
Oh, and the third one is a sweet excuse for Explain The Xenobiology with lots of Boys Being Cute At Each Other, but I'm stuck because I don't know where/whether it should go beyond that point.
Things that should be low priority: all the unpublishable, gratuitous timewaster stuff. This includes That Thing With Eridan And The Ripoff Plot, the porn snippets that are too underdeveloped to even have defined casts, and the OCs. :D
Guess which bunch of things I keep being drawn to!
If you have any interest in Dave/Tavros at all, and want to poke at some of those things, I would be delighted by input! (Or, y'know, the Dave/Sollux thing, or any of the other things.)
