domino43All 3 of my nephews to sign up for the NaNoWriMo Young Writers Program. They're actually pretty excited about it. They've got their titles and their outlines all worked out already. It's pretty awesome.
Now to my dilemma: I know it's only 6 days until NaNo starts, but I've been wanting to participate since I heard about it back in 2006. I don't really have anything to write, though. That's pretty much why I've never participated. But I'd really, REALLY like to participate this year. Which, okay, I just sign up and do it. But my dilemma is that I don't really know what to write. There's one Original Fiction idea I've had in the back of my mind for years. I have the barest of basic idea of the plot, or part of the plot, swimming around in my head. I've never gotten around to writing it because it's pretty heavy, serious material. I don't know if I can handle that with such a strong deadline, but on the other hand, maybe that definite deadline could make me actually write it. The other thing I was thinking of was maybe easing myself into it by writing an epic fanfic for a fandom I've been wanting to write for for a while. I actually kind of have an idea for that one. No matter which way I go, I have about the same amount of an idea for it.
So, what do you guys think? Serious original fiction or epic fanfic?
