Reasons Why That Creative Project Has Been Sitting At 95% Completed For Months Or Years On End:

Reasons why that creative project has been sitting at 95% completed for months or years on end:

What remains to be done is all editing and revision, and you resent the fact that your work can’t just be perfect on the first try

You remember that there was something you wanted to change, but you didn’t write it down and now can’t recall what it was, and you can’t proceed until you figure it out

You’re stuck in a loop of “there’s this one problem that I know I can’t resolve without external feedback, but I don’t want to show it to anyone else until after that problem has been resolved”

It’s really the process that you enjoy, and you’ve learned that you can indefinitely postpone the emotional letdown of a completed project if you simply refuse to acknowledge that there’s nothing further to be done

The unhinged perfectionist part of your brain is convinced that calling a project finished is tantamount to admitting that you couldn’t have done it better

You got absorbed in a second project and genuinely forgot that the first one existed

As long as to being suddenly blind is a posibility, asking don’t hurt.

one of my favorite human quirks is when the power goes out and you’re w other ppl and inevitably someone says ‘did the power go out?’ like…you’re all sitting there in the dead dark, tv black, wifi gone, lights OUT but still they’re like ‘hm. well I have a theory but it needs to be submitted for peer-review’

Remember, remember the 5th of November. The gunpowder, treason, and plot. I know of no reason why the gunpowder, treason should ever be forgot.

Important Notes:

Click to view full size memo image

This project is intended to be a fun activity for fans of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to keep them busy until the series returns to ABC on Jan 7th.

This is absolutely not a “save the show” campaign. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is doing well in the ratings and also in international syndication and is not in any danger of cancellation (despite what some website might lead you to believe.)

This is a fun way for fans to actively remind the wider community that new episodes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. return to ABC on January 7th.

While this campaign was kicked off by shieldtv.net we encourage all fans, fan sites and communities to work together on this campaign, a united fandom is a strong fandom and there is fun to be had for all.

We are offering a few small prizes (eg, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. promotional posters) to a few lucky contributors who are particularly creative in their approach to this project (if other fan sites would like to contribute prizes of their own they are most welcome.)
