Heeelp! Fanfic Dilemma

Feb 10, 2013 17:58

I suppose this is a entry mostly addressed to my fic-writing friends. I'm in a bit of a dilemma, and maybe you guys have some helpful feedback for me. So I'm writing this story right now. I kinda doubt (m)any of you will know the fandom. Yet another obscure Canadian TV show from a few years ago with pretty much zero fandom. It's called Whistler ( ( Read more... )

random randomness, i watch too much tv, so. yeah. i write fan fiction.

Personal experience is great, and I'm really glad you posted this. I might still rework my story to fit some of your advice in. You're giving me great ideas to have other people than character y visiting the patient, and some of this will definitely come in handy. I quite like the mixing up of people idea, or the change of personality.

Not quite sure I'm gonna write more WC fic, though. I didn't really like season 3 a lot, and I like season 4 even less, for various reasons. I also feel like I've done everything with the characters in fanfic that I've ever wanted to do with them. Sadly, the White Collar magic is gone for me. But never say never, right?

Again, thank you so much for your helpful comments. It's always the best thing if you can use something that's drawn from personal experience, be it your own or someone else's.

The only personal experience I have with this kind of situation is when two friends of mine were struck by lightning (no joke!). One of them had a rupture in his kidney and had to stay in the ICU for a few days, the other had severe burns to her legs which had her hospitalized for two months. However, I saw neither of them immediately after surgery, and they were both a lot more alert than what I'm writing. But, yes, I can definitely corroborate the groundhog day scenario, because both my friends kept telling me things that they had told me before. It felt a little like talking to my grandmother when she had Alzheimer's, but of course with my friends, they returned to normal when they came off the sedatives and painkillers.

(Just FYI: They both made it through their accident with varying degrees of permanent damage, but they were both incredibly lucky and are doing well.)
