 @6e9427cf I've had a fanfiction in the works that I took a years-long hiatus from… I had deviated from my outline well beyond returning to it and couldn't write my way out of the corner I'd written myself into. I didn't work on it for years and it took me a few attempts to break back into it and figure a way out of it again xD

I think I might also figure a way back into the story, since all the characters have strong agendas and that make them antagonists to one another despite eventually having to work together against a greater antagonist. The scope is just so great that it's daunting. It consumes energy I'd like to put into commercial writing, so I'm releasing the chapter as a novelette, possibly with an apology.
