All good stuff...still got a blinding headache but I'm learning to live with it.
Just to set the record straight, because I realised it might not have come across, my meepout yesterday was mostly tongue in cheek. I'm not really a neurotic, paranoid person with low self esteem. Well, maybe a little, but I know I don't write bad!fic. No one I know does either. Not real, genuine badfic anyway. Overuse of tropes (is that the word I want?) a reliance on certain common understandings about characters and their backgrounds/speech patterns/habits that can sometimes be laziness, sometimes shorthand...yes. But don't we all?
The fragment of fic is never going to be finished though. Especially after![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
vampirefever just gave me the link to an S/X she wrote last year that is practically word for word the same opening :;facepalm:: We're a group mind. I knew it ::grin::
I think the reason I stopped writing S/X still holds for me and that's why I'm having problems writing even a short fic with them; I just wrote too much of it. Same with S/B. I admire anyone who can write one pairing for years and keep it fresh; I can't. I start repeating myself. Luckily, being the pairing whore I am, I won't run out of inspiration ;-)
I've got a non fic project looming so apart from the two I've committed to, I'm not signing up for any more ficathons and once I've finished Snowbound, I'm clear of WIPs...that's going to be nice. Bit of breathing space. Some non fic might just settle me down.
Door bell; three little girls just arrived to play. I'm out of here...:-)
