I've decided ficlet collection; I've put other challenge-type and gift stories there before, so there's really no reason for me not to. I'm glad to hear that!
Are there benefits you perceive to leaving it for longer periods (kinda like "sleeping on it" maybe?) or is it just the nature of what you've been writing lately?
The latter. It's the dark AU specifically: I started writing it for B2MeM and realized it was too long to both write and edit before the due date, so I put it aside to work on another story. And every time I went back to work on it, I stalled and ended up working on something else. Hopefully I fixed the problem that kept stalling me (the timeline stuff), so when I sit back down to work on it, it'll be easier to write straight through. While I've learned I can write in fits-and-starts (something I flat-out thought I couldn't do), it's still not something I particularily enjoy.
