Ha! I'm naturally lazy. I want my fandom to have a lot of people in it so I can read things without writing them. And if enough people write a plot, I don't have to!
I sometimes get derailed by people commenting on things midway. I mean, it happens even if I don't post it, but I get this fear of "oh god, the beginning of this was so good and now I am RUINING IT!"
You ARE good! :) Objectively, I'm good too? *breaks into cold sweat at typing that* But I have issues where I think everyone secretly hates me. ;) Or thinks I'm vain for presuming anyone would WANT to read my fic. Or whatever. ISSUES! (Medication helps! When I first started in fandom, my betas would have to beg me to post anything, and I was totally that annoying girl whose author note was always "I know this isn't very good, but...")
I'm kind of SUPER SUPER excited that someone might actually read my original story. OMG. And maybe ENJOY IT! Craaaazy. I know the format of at least the first half is going to be in sections (I'm going to write from the POV of each character at a time, to tell the "how we got to Mars" story while I get to know them), so I guess it would be logical and easy to post midway?
