Poll-yah!

Note: I was reviewing some old posts about the craft and remembered that I had had some really fun ones in another fandom so I went over there and collected some, and will post a few here. Those who know me know this, but for those who don't: You can say anything in my LJ. If it's offensive you won't get a pass on it, but I censor no one, I ban no one, and I'm not afraid of being corrected or disagreed with. This is unlikely to come up in regard to these writing questions; just makin' the point.

Here's the thing. I re-read my own stuff and I like it, but I don't love it. I wouldn't place me in a list of my favorite writers, or more accurately, in a list of the best fandom writers. So ...

Please elaborate upon your answer in a comment!

I write what I like to read and to fill a need in my own fandom enjoyment. That's not to say I've liked and re-read everything I've written - there are some embarrassing stinkers from the early days of my fan fiction writing career that are not to be spoken of - but for the most part, I find it comforting to know that there's just the perfect fix-it fic for whatever issues I had with whatever canon. Writing fanfic has always been more fun for me than reading fanfic...so now I'm just confused :).

I just want to say that I have always enjoyed your stories and am grateful that you prefer writing to reading! I do miss your MFU stories, though.

And I love your icon. I don't suppose I can hope that you are writing in my 'other fandom'?

thank you! I always assume I'll write again in MFU, although my writing time is greatly curtailed these days. I'm just not done with Napoleon and Illya quite yet.

And aside from a horrible Mary Sue that my best friend and I wrote back in the day, I've never written in Star Wars. Which is kind of crazy, considering how much I adore the original trilogy :).
