I'm a bit embarrassed by this, but found a writing meme from chaosmindfuck. I was bored, so I thought to myself, "Could I possibly do this
( Read more... )
Hmm.. honestly, I wasn't sure what the meme creator meant about the "Most Unintentionally Telling Story" part. Which definition of telling did he/she mean? Argh, I can't remember where I found the meme though. So I just went with the "revealing information" definition, cos I felt it made more sense. Haha.
I wasn't sure about "Biggest surprise" either. I'm guessing, maybe something surprising in the fic? Haha. I don't know, I wrote other stuff though.
But seriously, Doggie, I think you need more confidence in your writing. Because it's good. And remember, I'm not familiar with the fandoms you write for, and don't usually read original fics, so it does take talent to keep someone like me interested in your fics.
I think Penitent Feathers is still your best. :)
I'm sure you can write anything (including smut). Don't listen to anyone who discourages you - they're probably just envious of your talent. And even if they aren't, who gives a fuck about anyone's opinion?
I probably already told you this before. I mostly discourage myself because I keep seeing others getting more recognition. Especially if they write redundantly and give off the image that it's a great work. IF you keep getting praise, you'll assume you're doing the right thing.Also, you set an example.
Outside of net works, when I read novels, I assume that they have the quality needed to be published, therefore are good stories. When I read, I can't remember the vocab and structure.
Smut is...
no one outside of myself is discouraging me from writing it. I don't like it much, and I think love scenes should take more consideration to write. But smut also gets a lot of recognition.
Well, I suppose the most important thing is to just write what makes you happy, and whatever you're comfortable with.
I think that people who write for the sake of getting praise/reviews (and there are lots of them in fandom) are doing so with wrong motives. I mean, writing - like anything else - should be a passion, not a means to attain recognition or approval.
And remember, just cos the majority likes it, doesn't mean it's a good story. The Twilight Saga, for instance.
I'm not trying to tell you how or what to write or anything, Doggie. I'm just trying to show some support and encouragement cos I really believe you do have what it takes to be a brilliant writer. But I just feel that you should write whatever you want, however you want, because YOU love it.
And not to worry if anyone likes it or not, or if others are getting recognition or not. Write for yourself, everything else is just bonus.
