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 had ideas that didn't pan out, certainly. I really wanted to write some Crystal/Lily AI9 femslash, but the story didn't have any oomph and the realization that the audience of that story was pretty much no one-not just because of the pairing but also because it was an AU set in the 70s in LA-wasn't that encouraging. It's rare that once I start writing something I can't get it to work, but that story was one of those times.

Still, I have to ship a pairing to write them. I've written a few stories with pairings that I wasn't super passionate about but never anything that I didn't ship when I started the story.
