Where do we go from here?

shadowscastNow that I've finally finished writing "How The Light Gets In," I need to decide what to do next.
First of all, there's "Family," the giant WIP in my original fandom (Once A Thief) which has been stalled since May, 2003. I still refer to it as "stalled," not "abandoned," because I do still intend to finish it; maybe now's the time. I already have more than half the final part written, and I know at least roughly how the rest of it's supposed to go; it would be silly not to finish it. Plus I've been feeling guilty about it for two years.
And there's still more I'd like to do with the Fragments 'verse. I have ideas for a short prequel, showing what happened with Spike and Angel and Illyria to get them to the point where Xander finds them in "Late Night Porn Store Blues." I also have ideas for a piece set later, when Spike and Xander are together and working for the Council. And I also think it would be fun to tell Willow's story.
Also, on my website "London Calling" is a standalone, but in my head it's the first part of a trilogy. The second part of the trilogy is maybe a third written (I started it in the fall, but then abandoned it in favour of the Fragments 'verse), and the third part is at least vaguely conceived of.
Oh, and I really have to start working on some non-fanfic writing, too!
