Option A is to go for that original thing that I've been thinking about. Basically it's a Sherlock Holmes rip-off, but with Holmes being an ex-angel who has to be and do good for his own peace of mind's sake, but actually hates it with a passion, and Watson being a slightly naive young cop with a big heart who just split up with his girlfriend and moved in with the first person he could find. I don't really have a Lestrade, but Angel!Holmes has a friend who used to be a demon (this is where I'm ripping off Good Omens) who provides them with information, and cop!Watson has a boss who might turn out to be Moriarty - not sure about that yet.
Anyway, I do have the characters for this, but I don't really have a strong 50,000 words plot, and it's original fiction, which is harder to write for me than fanfic.
The other option would be going for this Doctor Who/House crossover plot that I mentioned a while ago (Bunny #2 in this post), which is basically that the Doctor gets sick and House has to cure him. Obviously I have the characters for this one, and I have a basic plot worked out in my head, although I don't know if I could stretch it over 50,000 words.
If I go for the original fic, I would not be posting it on my journal, because I'm self-conscious about original fic, and especially unedited original fic written on a schedule. If I go for the Doctor Who fic, I'd make a filter and would be posting (hopefully) daily updates.
I'm not sure what I should do. Original fic is more exciting, and nano's a chance to finally get started on it, but fanfic is easier, and writing 50,000 words in a month is hard enough without making things overly complicated by writing original fic. And I actually do want to write that crossover.
