I'm not sure if it will do everything we need, but I just found out that "Camp NaNoWriMo" is happening this month in April -- it's a lower key version of the regular NaNo event, that you can set a wordcount goal of whatever you want. I'm trying it out myself (my username's X-parrot) -- will see how it goes!
I maybe am exaggerating to say I'm writing something I'd never want to read -- it's more accurate that I sometimes write things that I would not read if someone else wrote them. Like, I've written death-fic before and those are pretty much always a hard no for me, reading-wise (but when I've written them myself I can always make up the happy ending that comes after? :P) And really, most of the explicit stuff I've written falls into this too, as I just don't enjoy reading smut but sometimes find it interesting to (attempt to!) write.
But yeah, I don't know why I sometimes am struck by inspiration like that. (And yes, I also have things I was ashamed of wanting but very much wanted to read anyway, that's a different thing! XD)
--oh ho you wrote Eroica?? I should look that up! :D
