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 ...

I don't re-read my stuff as a matter of course and find that quite a bit of time needs to have elapsed before I will happily do so, which helps with not remembering how it all pans out (which is an ideal for anything I'm reading, really, I'm not a massive re-reader unless I really like something in the first place). It's cool sometimes to go 'oh, did I write that?' if I come across a particularly nice turn of phrase...

As for popularity/fame as a writer, I've resigned myself to being in the middle pack wherever I am. Sometimes I help that out by writing pairings people don't go for as much, but I have to write what gets me going and if that's not the main pairing in the fandom, it can't be helped.

A little OT: if you like taking odd pairings and if you know and appreciate that old British show "The Professionals", couldn't you have a look (and a try) at the Bodie/Cowley pairing? (she says, without much hope). I'm feeling sadly lonely in my little corner.

Sorry, I'm not the woman for the job - there's just something about them that doesn't really work for me...

Ah? Well you're not the only one in that case!
