Random bitching

[oneiriad]

Do you know what I find annoying? Playing fandom catch-up. By which I mean, starting to see some series or read some books or something, that everybody was watching/reading/mainlining a few years ago - and then, having watched the first season and it's kind of okay, watching a couple of episodes of season two, looking at a few fanfics, getting a itty-bitty idea for an angsty ficlet thing - and dammit, what am I supposed to do? Write the story while it's fresh in my mind and post it, hoping it won't clash too terribly with anything in the next almost-three seasons? I mean, people write stories set in this and that season all the time, but that's when they can look back on it, it's not the same. Write and save it until I've watched the rest, thus getting to fix any glaring inconsistencies? Wait until I've watched the rest before writing, most likely never writing it as a result? What?

Damn my perfectionistic tendencies...
