IAMA Whisky AMA
My inspiration is almost completely dried up. I try to write more Temeraire sequel and give up. I try to write a little PBell and hate it. Then I end up writing Leverage, of all things! You know, that story I utterly hated up until I finished it, and then my brain was like, you know what would be fun? MORE LEVERAGE. 7000 words of this nonsense and

NO COMMENT ON THE EMUS THOUGH.
Also, no need to feel bad about being burnt up after so long in a fandom with no new canon. :D I still love Arthur and Eames to bits, but I'll admit there's now things I like playing with more. You should try out yourself elsewhere, and maybe the inspiration comes back eventually!

Man, I would be really excited to share some of my original stuff with you guys, even though it IS way different from what I write here (first person past tense, for a start. AND NARY A MENTION OF RAPE?!). But my main project, although nearly complete, is nothing but a draft, and originally it was just something I wrote for fun to be shared with my friends and that was it. So it's very rough. I haven't even touched it in at least a year or two, though it's been on my mind.
A new fandom would be a good idea. I'm just a bit of a homebody. I like to stick with what I'm comfy in, and new things are scary to me. XD Writing takes me to my happy place, so it's hard to break out of one I've spent so long in, if that makes sense. My boss keeps telling me to watch Sherlock, though, and I hear there's some bromance going on there. (I am also, and always have been, primarily a Destiel fan, but I'm rather sad about what the show has been doing to my husband Misha Collins Cas, and that makes it hard to find the ( ... )

Ahahahahaha, well, I don't mind the no mention of rape part, as those were honestly my least favourite fics of yours. (I'm one of those terrible people who don't read noncon for the aftermath.) First person and past tense isn't unusual for published fiction, but always depends on how it's done, no. XD Can I ask what your project is about?
I know that feeling, especially when you then end up being disappointed with your new fandoms. (LIKE ME AND GRIMM RN.) From what my writer friend tells me it's also easier to stick to writing people you know instead of having to start from scratch and find your voices. xD But new things can be fun! And refreshing.
Sherlock is fun to watch! You should definitely give it a try, although the bromance (to me) is very platonic.
(Ahaha, I stopped watching SPN after S5 so I have no idea what's going on there.)

I actually do have a friend who works as an editor in e-publishing (cthonical), so if you ever need any help or information on how the industry works, etc, you could probably ask her about it. :3 I know she'd love to help.
(Also I showed my her this and she was like "We should totally talk Whisky into writing for Grimm, I think she'd like Nick." He's kind of gormless, I love him.)
