Yes, yes, I know. I just see one little detail and I pick and pick...
Here's the reason why not for the other two series - I feel no need at all to write fanfic for BSG. Fanfic fills in missing pieces from a series: plot holes, missing scenes, backstories, or even if it's not that specific, fleshes out the characters. BSG doesn't need any fixing. All my craving for stories in that universe is fulfilled by the show itself. The same holds true for Buffyverse.
For Hornblower, it's a small canon fandom and all of the obvious plots have been done, repeatedly, and quite well enough. I haven't had any plot bunnies that I haven't been able to find a fic already in existence for. Except, of course, for a satisfactory LKU. But getting my perfect one would just be rearranging elements of stories that have already been written which just isn't worth the effort. As you may have noticed, I tend to be more drawn to write in fandoms that don't have a lot of fic, because if I can find a story similar to what I'm imagining, I just read it, which takes far less effort.
