hmpfJust a note to tell you guys thanks for all the suggestions and advice on the sentence from 68 Wives. You're great! I'll reply when I have the time to actually think about the replies; I'm a bit pressed for time at the moment as I'm finishing a paper about Herbert Marcuse (and writing another one about Ambrose Bierce).
I took a quick look at the LoM communities yesterday night, and was struck again by two things:
1.) LoM is a *great* fandom for making me write, because a) it has all the elements necessary to construct fics that fit my personal kinks from it, yet b) 99.99% of the fic produced in the fandom is completely outside my 'specifications'. So, I have no choice but to write all the fics I want to read myself... a great motivation!
2.) LoM is a *horrible* fandom for me to write, because I have *absolutely* no handle on most of the characters and their interactions, esp. Gene, but also, woefully, though to a lesser degree, Sam. Arrgh.
Anyway... back to my uni work now.

Date: 2007-10-20 02:27 pm (UTC)The fact that every once in a while a fic comes along which may fit my specifications doesn't mean that the main "burden" of producing such fic isn't on myself in this fandom... the ratio of "Hmpf compatible" to "not Hmpf compatible" is still woefully low, and will probably always remain so - unless I manage to start a trend somehow *g*.
2.) You do know I'm only ignoring it *temporarily*, don't you? :-)
The way my current projects are shaping up I may feel able to read it (relatively) soon. I just need to build my confidence a bit more, possibly by finishing and posting one of my projects, first.
