I only realised this when ToE4 had its "1st birthday" yesterday. Then, coincidentally, Elite4James put up a fan art that returned a pang of guilt into the author in me.
Be honest with yourselves, this can really take a whole weight off your shoulders. Put up ideas of fanfics that you have long since disregarded. In other words, fics that were in your head that were never finished or even published.

Do you mean the fighting type eevee? Why does that make you feel guilty?
Anyways, I hope that none of my ideas or stories end up here.

Do you mean the fighting type eevee? Why does that make you feel guilty? -Yes, that one. Like I said, I was supposed to celebrate ToE4's birthday yesterday. But, when I tried thinking of a fic to commemorate that, I remembered, "Trials of the Elite Four" is not my first fanfic; Pokemon, yes, but over-all, no. -The fanart in question reminded me of the Breath of Fire games. BOF is the very reason that I joined FF.net in the first place. I had a fanfic about BOF, but dropped it completely upon rekindling my Pokemon fanaticism, one year ago. My creative soul is much like Lord Voldemort's in terms of "damage". I nearly have a fic idea for every fandom I ever swore allegiance to. If I was any good an author, I would have posted them all in ff.net already. Instead, I lay them to rest here: 1) Gundama) takes place 5-10 years after Gundam W, featuring a new enemy, new pilots, yet old plot. Was a joint RPG project with one I call a mentor*. b) (this one's completely absurd) Gundam setting, Breath of Fire characters and theme. Never even lifted off my mind. 2) Yu-gi-oha) Yu-gi-oh's an online PC multiplayer game, and my character is based on myself, and uses my own customized deck. Both God and Sacred Beast card sets take important roles. 3) Breath of Firea) See the one on Gundam. b) Two childhood friends caught up in a war between three factions. The hero** has the unfortunate destiny of destroying their world. c) (cross-over between all five BOF games) Sequel to (b), where the hero joins up with the other heroes from parallel dimensions to restore a god-like entity to its former glory. *My mentor is the same person who got me into fanfics in the first place. We were in the same year, but in terms of Acquaintance Party reference, he is "Brock". **The hero in this fanfic has a dark alter-ego, an anti-hero, whose name I carry up to now as a painful reminder. Plus, I also had a discontinued(now deleted) Pokemon fic that was supposed to be a prologue, in a sense, and interquel to Trials of the Elite Four. Believe me, putting these ideas into "print" has indeed lifted an enormous weight from my shoulders.

Well, there is a never-ending list of fic ideas that I've had, but just never bothered to write. L of the King is on one chap... still.
and I have a few one-shots on my comp that I've deemed a bit unworthy of posting up, the're somewhere, like 2 or 3 of them as well. Just didn't strike a good chord with me.
