User blog:AmbassadoR8/Story Identity Crisis

The first fanfictions I read on the wiki were Vorred's Comics, followed soon after by Vendetta, which was featured story at that time. The first story I tried to write wasn't particularly like anything, but I got bored with writing it quickly. Than I read more of BTD27's stories, and I immediately wanted to write something like that. Gritty, urban and dark, these were great role models for Wings, another one of my stories. But then I read a bit more of Vorred's stuff, and thought I wanted to write something with that kind of mood and atmosphere. Thus, Moonblade. Automatic Earth? No real inspiration. Just short for the sake of short. Then, I realize that what I am writing is... sub-par, and I reboot. I begin Perpetual Darkness, based once again of the Doctor. And I'm satisfied with that until... until pretty much yesterday. That's when I read Quest for the Masks and City of Legends all in one go. Now I want to rewrite and continue on the canon story. I can't juggle PD, the A.S.G.A.R.D. Short story series (a project within the Illusions Universe), the X Chronicles (a project I revealed in this blog post) and a canon rewrite. Of course, that's technically two projects, not four, as X Chronicles would be tied to a canon rewrite and the short story series is tied in with PD so...

But this blog isn't about that.

My stories are all based off someone else. I'm constantly kicking myself over the fact that PD is based of BTD, or that X Chronicles is based of Echo...

I need ME in my stories.

I need all the help I can get.

What should Redd do? Kick the Illusions Universe (e.g. Perpetual Darkness) and do the canon rewrite Kick the rewrite and do Illusions Kick both and do something brand new Kick Illusions and do something new in it's place Kick the rewrite and do something new in it's place Rewrite PD Do all the projects, one after another

Thanks for reading. If you have any help to give, comment or leave a message on my talk.
