Lightning Bolt

I've come to an epiphany about my writing and how I feel about my place in the world of bandfic.

I write light and fluffy for the most part. Which is fine! Right?

But... I'm like the comedic actor who longs for the respect that his dramatic actor brothers get.

(Good Lord, I'm Eddie Murphy and I want to be Denzel Washington! *LOL*) Hey, maybe I can develop into Tom Hanks?

Anyway, it was a pivotal moment for me to recognise this in myself.

And I have high hopes for my Biffno work. *crosses fingers*

*smooches* We've already had this discussion, and I love your edge-of-angst schmoopy smut. :D So I am also crossing my fingers for your Biffno project cuz I wanna read it!!

Yes we have! *LOL* But it just hit me last night, that this was the perfect way to describe what it is I'm feeling. I do it to myself, there's no doubt about it. One day I'll get that under control. One day! I'm workin' on it and I am getting better, believe it or not.

And *hugs* for saying you love my stuff. *grin* I'm honest enough to admit that it gives me a big ole warm fuzzy to read that.

And I broke the 3000 word barrier today with Biffno, so I'm feeling pretty chuffed about that!

I know what you mean, though. I was very, very frustrated with Rosficdom by the time I stopped writing in it, b/c nobody seemed to comment on anything but the sex and yeah, okay, I write good sex but that isn't ALL it's about! It felt like the story wasn't being taken seriously because it was NC17. Which was kind of why I started a high angst fic, and that's pretty much directly attributable to why I had to abandon it 6 chapters in b/c I wasn't writing it for the right reasons and I couldn't make it work. You always have to follow your heart with your writing. :)

(Yay 300 words! *fireworks*

I've always like comedians better, lol. I don't think your stuff is fluff either, Porthos. I've always enjoyed reading your fics. I think it's hard for a person to write in a 'different' way than they usually does. I feel like everything I've written sounds similar, it's really hard for me to go back and make the story more flowery, for lack of a better word. I tend to write just like I am...straight-forward with no bull shit. Keep at it, I'm sure we'll all love anything you write.
