Time to Admit It

I've been mulling this over for a few months now and my trip to WDW just confirmed it for me. I ought to have stopped writing QaF at the end of Changes. There just isn't anywhere interesting for me to go at this point. I brought the boys to a natural stopping point and everything since then has been forced or crap or both. I'm just not inspired to write them any more. They're a happy couple in a long term relationship. That's it. Not anything to write about. I know in my head where I wanted to take them for the next year or so but it's not interesting. So I guess I'm done and I'm sorry for the unfinished stuff. Maybe one day I'll want to go back to it. The reason I say that WDW confirmed it for me is that before, any time I went anywhere, I'd picture the boys there and what sorts of situations I could put them in and what photos I'd need to take. Not this time though. I just didn't see them there.

Bizarrely, I did see the Torchwood 3 gang there though and had this very weird and funny image of them chasing some sort of alien around WDW. But of course, who'd believe them? And how would they tell it from the characters? Would they have to venture into Small World? Apparently Jack is afraid of roller coasters, that'd add a bit of humour.Someone needs to write that. I have so many TW bunnies but I don't want to write any of them.

Wow, that must be really hard for you. You've been writing QAF for as long as I've known you, probably longer. :(

Can I support you by simply saying that it's likely that you've just moved on, as so many others have? I think it's perfectly normal to finish things when canon ends and you've tied up your personal desires for them, told the rest of their story. To fight that and try to write forever and -ever will only make you miserable. What more is there to say about Brian and Justin, anyway? They're happily living ever after, and that's not a bad thing. :)

I for one would love to see Jack, Ianto, Tosh, Owen and Gwen chasing after an alien at a theme park. And Jack's scared of roller coasters but can fly to the end of the universe on the outside of a TARDIS with very few problems (OK, so he might've died. Oh well)? LOL I'd read that.

Exactly, that's just where I'm at now.
