30 Days of Fic Writing: Day 10
10. Pairings - Have you ever gone outside your comfort zone and written a pairing you liked, but found you couldn’t write, or a pairing you didn’t like, and found you could?
I've started at least three different TVD's Stefan/Caroline fics and then trashed them. I always love the idea of them, but when I try to write them, as more than side or supporting characters, it just doesn't work. I have no idea why. I'm just holding out for canon to satisfy me.
As for a pairing I didn't like that I enjoyed writing...probably the only one I've ever written that I didn't ship to some extent to begin with was TVD's Damon/Katherine, but I never wrote them in a fashion where they were happily together or anything--it was always exploring the dysfunction, or having him kill her, or something that wasn't supposed to be *happy* anyway. But I did enjoy it very much, because Katherine is a great character, who I love to hate, but hate very very very much!
