Random reflection on what made a fic 'popular'

Oct 15, 2008 21:58



Finished the VK fic the other week. I can't believe how popular that one is/was -- it got a lot more attention than I was expecting. ^^;  Then again, it was an entirely PWP / lemon fic (I made myself write it that way to get over my stupid squick about writing intimate scenes). I'm wondering about writing a sequel, but not for a long time. Nothing' ( Read more... )

Ah! I'm still learning how the order of names for 'ships affects what they mean -- sorry for the confusion!

Don't worry, I'm afraid the vast majority of the authors on FFnet don't realize that the order matters, as it indicates who is topping (the first name listed) and who is bottoming (the second name) in the fic, whether it's physical or just mental dominance.... XD *lol* So most of the time pairings in summaries etc are listed wrong and it's often a bit weird, hahaha. XD;; *is used to it*

Blackened Wing is a lovely friend and in my opinion the best writer in the whole VK fandom. :D
If you're not really into yaoi, you might want to try her fic "Five Hundred Miles" first. ^_^/ It has Kaname x Zero and Zero x Kaname too, but it's Kaname & Zero with Yuuki, and not just with each other, so it might be easier for you than the fics where it's just guy on guy. :D

If you want to try one despite it having guy x guy in it, I recommend her other series, "Crimson Door". It only has Kaname & Zero sex later on, and feelings-wise there's wonderful amounts of Kaname x Yuuki as well, (more feelings, they almost sleep together but they don't finish what they sorta started, because Yuuki is still not quite ready and so Kaname stops. :D) (FHM is a sequel to Crimson Door, but it also works as a stand alone. So they're all together in FHM, and not yet there in Crimson Door. :D)

OH NO! I'll really start writing that "Cockblocker Aidou" series afterall! AAAAAHHHH!

YAY~~~! XD Oh, I so look forward!! *LOL*

There's almost no one portraying Aidou properly on FFnet, save for very few people, and your portrayal of him was both hilarious and frighteningly believable based on how wonderfully stalkery of Kaname he is in the drama CDs, hahaha XD
Have you heard them? XD I love the recent one where he's gluing onto Kaname so badly that Zero actually interrupts to ask Aidou if he's in love with Kaname. *rotfl* And Kaname calmly --albeit tiredly-- tells Zero to just ignore Aidou's creepiness. XD XD *rotfl*
