I have no internal motivation whatsoever at the moment, so I am requesting help with external motivation in hopes that it will prove somewhat more effective. Normally this would take the form of a mini-ficlet prompt meme, but I'm going to try something slightly different this time.

Namely, I will list several WIPs that have been languishing for a good long while, all of which should take less than 5000 words to complete. (Or complete the current chapter, at any rate.) I would like you to tell me which one I should try to finish by next Friday.

Here they are:

Poll #17315 What should Liz try to finish this week?

Thank you to everyone who voted! I will buckle down and get to work on "Guardian" ch. 17 starting on Saturday the 20th. :)

(The next week is reserved for my Palestuck assignment, but after that I will tackle "A Question of Familiarity". And after that, I may make another poll...)
