Some thoughts on kink_las...

[There's, like, 3429834 things I should post here, but this is what is on my mind as I click to the update window. So this is what you get. *headdesk*]

So I'm in this kink_las thang, and right now it's making me contemplative. At this point (after the last elimination) it's down to six writers. I've generally been coming in second place so far. Never won

I'm intrigued by your spreadsheet of scores. I didn't think of actually scoring the fics, mainly because I rarely seem to have a strong enough opinion. I just write brief notes instead, and highlight any typos/errors as I go, and then go back and re-read those I think might be best and worst.

The multi-fandom part is awkward. It *is* hard to vote on the same terms for fandoms you don't know. Saying that, that tends to mean that both my positive and negative votes tend to err towards fandoms I know. If it's a choice for 'least well-written' between a fandom I know and a fandom I don't, then I'll often go for the fandom I know because at least then I feel confident in saying the grammar was bad, when in the fandom I don't know it might be deliberate because the character actually talks like that. That's an extreme example but you know what I mean

I agree with most of what unfeathered Said. I feel vaguely like I should apologize for writing Doctor Who and Torchwood, but I haven't really acquired any other fandoms I feel comfortable writing yet. With that said, I tend to write whatever the hell pairing or trio is in the story that occurs to me, and the one Amy/Rory that I tried to put together kept not working because Rory kept turning into a nurse in the middle of the scene. Sometimes, it just works out that way
