run for the last train, whatever will get you home.
I'm not writing football slash anymore. I just don't feel any affection for these characters, knowing the flawed, changeable individuals to whom they are attached in the real world - knowing the limitations of these attachments. I like them so much more when I change them completely.
I think that my three-year dabble in the world of football fic has been worthwhile. I like to think that I've learnt more about building characters with whom readers can identify rather than whom readers merely like. More about the centrality of conflict, and about the idealism of resolutions. I'm going to focus entirely on translating all of these fragments of ideas and styles and skills into original pieces, which, since I was a three-year-old writing poems about cats, has always been my ambition.
If you added me to your f-list because of football fic, feel free to remove me if you like; I totally understand.
