Made my decision. Going with the fanfic, entitled Dust and Ashes. Ultimately, it's just what I want to write. I already have an investment in the characters (which are original characters, not canon ones, though I usually write/read about the canon characters), I know the gist of the story, and I think it's going to be a blast to write even though the story itself is rather depressing. It's about time I've decided to sit down and actually type this story out, as it's resided in my head for over a decade now. And my other ideas just didn't have enough to work with. I scribbled them out in my notebook and went "That's it?" when I saw that was all I had. I could maybe do a vague idea for a story if I had characters, but having no characters and only a vague idea for a story sounds like a recipe for disaster for me. Perhaps one of those will be next year's NaNo, once it gets more fleshed out.

Maybe once I finish this and edit it, I can post it online. For some reason I don't usually post my original fiction online, probably because I doubt anyone would be interested in it, but fanfiction is different.

I just hope I can do justice to this long-lasting story of mine, which I have a lot of emotional investment in. I'll know I did it well if I'm able to slightly traumatize any readers I may have.
