If the following looks like a lot of restrictions, it's because I have too many fic ideas as it is. >.<
What stops me from writing/posting/considering fic (in the order they come to mind):
1. The fic, done properly, would be too open-ended/outside my scope to want to commit too. 2. Canon is something I only know peripherally, and I don't have time or inclination to get into knowing the details. 3. Too personal, and I haven't found a way to make it more than me working out personal issues. 4. Fic idea would take more skill than I have to pull it off properly (I have a three-way body-swap fic idea, complete with potential OT3age, but writing it would be the metaphorical equivalent to walking through a minefield) 5. I've already written something else in the fandom with an almost identical concept. 6. Fandom has plenty of fics with the same characters and concepts. "Plenty" being a perceived ratio. 7. Idea has unfortunate implications that I'd rather not deal with. 8. Idea is not my story to tell. 9. Canon is something where I don't feel a need to fill in gaps.
