Hi all, it's been some years since I've been active around these parts, and being back has been making me want to write fan fiction again. I can't help but feel though that I want to pick up some of the projects I let drop before.
The thing is that I've still been writing a lot in that time (I've been studying a part-time creative writing Master's degree, in fact) and I feel my writing has developed a lot, and I'm no longer inclined to just continue those that were never finished, and am more interested in tearing them down, and starting from scratch in some cases with some fairly major modifications to the plot.
I can recall sometimes finding this frustrating when authors did this rather than continuing. It's perhaps a bit different in this case because it has been so long since the publication of the last chapters (four years!) but what's your view on this in general?
