You do it as practise, I guess. And to pass the arbitrary hurdle you find yourself faced with.

If you have to write A in order to be able to submit B, I think there's nothing wrong with doing a quick and easy A.

But that being said, I think you could write a lot of Pyramid articles that are worthwhile.

Ideas could be:

An alternative Wealth system for GURPS in modern, realistic settings. Wealth systems are somewhat inherently tied to setting assumptions and one that's designed for all possible settings will probably be suboptimal for modelling a specific one. You plainly dislike the one that is in place and if you could come up with a simple system that did a better job in its stead, that could help other people who do.

A Rogues' Gallery (or whatever they call their NPC articles) of people suitable for an SF campaign. It's astonishingly easy to file serial numbers of characters used in specific settings and Flat Black characters could easily fit into a wide range of SF settings, especially with a few lense notes attached.

Adventures. Any GM can write one and good GMs can write good ones. While the idiosyncracies of settings may influence adventures, it's possible to design adventures with notes so that it's possible to drop them into many kinds of worlds.

A GM's primer on how to write and run mystery adventures. Something tells me that running the same mystery so many times has taught you quite a bit about what works and what doesn't.

And that's just what came first to mind. Thumbing through the archives should give one many ideas.

I will, as soon as I decide to start it. Since I actually did a lot of work this weekend, I might have the next weekend off and who knows?
