My liking of a story is never driven by the plot. If the characters do not appeal to me then reading will get very tedious after a while no matter how beautiful the writing or whether the story is good or 'valuable

Yes, very much so.

And it is rare. And there are those moments when I decide to read a story without my characters or pairings.
But my interest usually fades at some point. The enthusiam of the writer for their characters and often for very certain characters whom they obviously love beyond anything... it gets trough too hugely most of the time. (For me.) That would be not at all a bad thing per se, BUT I am not keen on the character in person and in the way he usually is described in the fandom. (The original picture as you say.) I must, and want to, get to know and get to like them in the story as the character he is in the story, for I'm not interested in him in any other way.

That is true. I enoy AU for the same reason, but for AU apply the same rules. We start either from scratch or froma common place. And with most writers I just don't share any common place, and the 'from scratch' is not always as from scratch as it's supposed to be.
I can't feel anything just because I'm expected to do so, just because others do. I read those comments and I just can't feel the same because I don't start squeeing only because the thought and the image 'Bojan' crosses my mind, or something like that, lol.

It's a pity to hear that. I hope you're still being creative in some interesting way though.

... I have found that non-slash tends to bore me most of the time. If it's not some great literature or something really weird that appeals to me greatly.
And also I avoid anything that has love-story lines of the heterosexual persuasion, haha.
It's sad.

.... which is not fair because you're robbing me of one of my deepest sources of inspiration. I suppose I can only pity myself in these circumstances. Because I'm afraid at least my images don't happen like 'out of themselves', heh. And because reading about sex is actually about the only thing I get something out of.

But I'm glad, it sounds like you're really doing well. Hm, I'm sorry the project won't be done within the nano-time but then, it'll be done anyway and it will have served a good purpose and with a high probability it'll also be a great piece of writing when it's finished, right

Oh nevermind that.
Take your time. There are important things and I suppose a more balanced inner life is kind of one of them ;)
I'll survive.

I'll have a look at this book then :) I've just read about it some.
