Well, the reason you may have broken so many brains caught the fans' interest is because, crackish as it may have been, in the end, it was still plausible...

Have you considered writing fanfiction? the way you pay attention to detail would probably make for great characterization... it's not all that it's involved in writing, but it's a key aspect of fanfiction. A well-written story with poor characterization is a terribly boring/frustrating thing to read.
