A fanfic writer's disclaimer
A recent post by one of my friends brought to light some Big Bang comments made over at spnanonhaven.
Not one to be accused of being nosy I trundled straight over there and read the ones made about my Big Bang 2011 offering 'Weird Science'. There wasn't anything too soul-destroying and honestly I was kinda expecting things along the lines of 'Blueyedliz sucks nah nah na nah nahhhh' and other variations but here (for anyone interested) is my response....
Last year and this year have been pretty tough for me emotionally and I find that I do struggle with writing fanfic now. However, that's not an excuse for producing bad fic and offloading it on unsuspecting LJ'ers. I don't think 'Weird Science' is a shit story...it's just not nearly as awesome as I hoped it would be.
But ho hum, you make the best of what you've got right? This year's Big Bang was fun to write and it gave me something nice to focus on for a few months.
Anyway, I felt like I needed to post a disclaimer on my LJ warning readers that they may be subjected to substandard writing depending upon the status of my social/love life.
Let it be made clear that I'm not a great writer, I'm not even a good writer, if you want literary genius run away now. I write for fun and in the vague hope that someone might share that fun with me. I'm genuinely sorry if I've ever disappointed anyone.
