WIP Amnesty: The story-bits that are never going to grow into real stories

I'm putting these two wips to rest. Burying them six feet under and forgetting that they ever existed.

I learned important lessons from these two pieces:
1) Just because my FList is familiar with the fandom -- and I occasionally read the fanfiction/watch the show -- doesn't mean I'm anywhere near knowledgeable enough to write a story.
2) If it's been languishing on the hard-drive for years, you're not going to finish it. Admit defeat and move on to the current wips.

The first story was started -- many, many moons ago -- for thete1's Sex Pollen challenge. Those of you who did that will realise just how long ago that was. I wanted it to be Dick/Wally, but Bruce was the only one who really spoke to me. The characterisation is a bit wacky and the ideas... well. Never worked.

( In which I realise my teeny-tiny fascination with Bruce is kind of violent )

The second story was promised for seperis and I welshed. I wrote the start and never wrote the rest. Of course, that could have something to do with my unholy hate of Brian and most things Justin (the cute violinist, Ethan, is the one exception to the "things of Justin" rule). As it turns out, I'm far better at writing characters I *like*.

According to the author notes, it's set: post-S2, pre-Ethan breakup. Post Ethan signing the in-the-closet contract. (Or, at least, vaguely Justin-still-with-Ethan time period.)

Yeah. I liked Ethan.

( The snippet that got me to the porny place and then abandoned me... )

I also have SV wips that I haven't touched in forever, but now that SV's back on my TV, I may be re-inspired to complete them.
