Nabbed from a number of people, at this point:

The Top 5 Meme: Ask me my top five fannish anything and I'll tell you. (Or top 5 things about me as a writer, my writing, specific fics written or unwritten, introductory sorts of things, etc.)

Hah. Every time I try to write linearly, I end up stalling out two scenes in. Even with extensive outlining. My brain just likes hopping too much, which is occasionally frustrating, because if I end up not completing something, I can't even hand over a mostly-completed work; if people are interested in seeing what could have been, the best I can do is hand over something that looks like an ancient, damaged stone tablet or something, and they have to reconstruct the story around the gaping giant holes.

On the plus side, I guess, usually they are getting all the good bits.

[I've got several long stories in my head, but I don't really have TIME for a really long story right now ... so I know what you mean.]

Yyyeah. I'm in the middle of a long, frustrating job search at the moment, so at times it seems like I have nothing but time, but I can definitely empathize. The last major project I finished took me five or six years, though that wasn't straight work – I did a lot of putting it down and then coming back for rematches. I'm hoping none of my current projects will take that long, but I also know myself. >_>

But, you know, short h/c floof, also very good. :P And eminently more finishable.
