Better Than Chocolate

As a writer, I am always curious to see my readers' reactions to my stories, especially when the writing is not the usual fare. This curiosity doubles when it comes to fanfiction. My writing in SPN fandom falls within two categories: gen/case fic and J2, a genre of fanfic that is usually character-driven. However, my J2 stories are plot-driven, which can cause unnecessary complications and confuse the reader. This was my biggest fear with Three Grams because I put the entire J2 genre in space, a thousand years in the future, in a society that's both feudal and futuristic. Then, there was the dreaded 'major character death' warning I tagged on because hey, truth in advertising and all that.

So, I was heartened to read the responses and know that though I've put the J2 in an alien (no pun intended) storyline, the core of what makes J2 so beloved still held true. Then, I was even more heartened to have people volunteer to review it as a dvd_commentary and a podfic. Seriously, to know that a story has reverberated with the readers to this degree meant I got something right. Anyway, here is somnolentblue's dvd commentary of Three Grams.

She put in huge amount of work with the commentary, I should know. I did one with poisontaster's Save As and it's not an easy task.

It's going to be a while before my ego deflates to its usual size so bear with me! :))
