So, I sat down to pen Bioshock 3. Remember my whole storyline about a group breaking off and making a new civilization on an island? Yeah, I totally sat down to write that in earnest. Spent a bit of time making an outline, wrote a few pages, somewhere in there logged onto OT.com and read Xhonzi post something about being too busy for the site and going away... And then I thought, wait a minute? What is the point? And I stopped writing it.

Okay, so, you were the catalyst that made me realize it was a pointless thing to write, but I didn't decide it was pointless only because you were gone, I just realized it was all around pointless in general.

Too bad though, it would have been amazing! But no, you had to go and leave the forum. Jerk.

No! Don't stop writing! If there's a story you want to tell, write it!

I came up with a ton of concepts for the story I really liked, but after trying to write it, I realized there just wasn't a story there.

I do a lot of creative writing, but I've never written a single piece of fanfiction, and when I tried to write it and would reread what I wrote, it just read like your typical piece of fanfiction. Even the Bioshock novel reads like a piece of crappy fanfiction. I don't think the story translates well to words. Bioshock's very essence is about exploring a strange place and eventually uncovering a mystery. I tried to write my Bioshock III story in a first person style that slowing unraveled the mystery, but it just didn't seem to be working.
