That's usually why I stick to one-shots as well. It's just too easy to lose the passion required to really finish a multi-part. It always annoyed the heck outta me, and procrastination is an enemy that can't be underestimated. ^^

Yeah, FMA was the first anime/manga I got into after the childhood years of Pokemon and Sailor Moon. I think it's going in on five, six years now since I first read it? Woah, that makes me feel old. :P
