what to do!

It's a drag when you run out of enthusiasm mid-story, but that usually happens when I get writer's block for a short while - my attention span runs out, I move on to another fandom. But at least it's good if it happens because your craving has been more or less fulfilled and other people have more or less explored most of your ideas (as in Batman/Gordon - and there are quite readable explorations of them, although not, like, stellar ones, and that one WIP I recommended was good and abandoned like a week later - obviously I jinxed it - whereas the best writer in the fandom, whose non-native-speaker qualities are quite evident in her texts, became more productive and more careless and apparently decided to eschew all forms of proofreading)... as opposed to because you've given up hope and lost all respect for the fandom (like... I can't think of one I was going to write in that that was true of, now. But it's quite liable to happen with small, inactive fandoms with no goodfic, like Criminal Minds or The Daily Show or Life on Mars). So - it could be worse.

Considering I am at a broad estimate three scenes from the ending, I could probably finish the somewhat-epic Batman/Gordon story I was writing, actually, but I'm not sure if I will or not, still. Once wax_jism told me that Mikey Way shipped it, I kind of felt a surreal sense of "the fandom has arrived! What more can be said?" And I do have, like, 16 days left to write two ficlets for aeslis...
