tocryaboutI'm putting this in my userinfo, but it merits a mention in its own post.

waterstrider: I really and truly do not want or expect you to friend this journal UNLESS you actually do read my writing and/or fandom musings. There's a reason for the separation. I feel weird writing with an audience composed partially of people who don't especially like X-Men, don't like fanfiction, don't like the particular weird blend of the two that I specialise in.
Basically, there's no reason to friend me unless you like those things. I don't friends-lock often on this journal, and when I do it's just because I'm jabbering about writing a particular sort of thing and I'm pretty confident that no one cares very much. So if you're just mildly curious about the sort of writing I do, pop by and take a look. You'll notice that most of the entries are just "Chapter X is done, take a look", anyway. Friending, as some sort of online "seal of approval", is unnecessary.
If you're curious about my writing and wondering whether I'll ever post about original fic, the answer is "Possibly eventually." Honestly, I think most people don't care about original fic unless and until it's published/publishable. Fanfic has an element of familiarity that makes it more appealing, so I post it.
I'm not trying to scare anyone off, and I'm cool with people crossing the "great divide" to read here, but just be aware that it's not necessary to friend me out of loyalty or anything.
Cool? Cool.

Date: 2005-10-13 03:35 am (UTC)I've written a lot (or tried to write a lot) in sci-fi and fantasy genres, and never really had it gel for me. Maybe the problem was trying to write in an entirely fictional universe and getting bogged down in world-building, because I LOVE writing this way, combining the real with the unreal. That's part of what draws me to X-Men. I love Charles DeLint for the same reason, even though his books often piss me off.
Anyway, thanks. :) If I write any original fic of a manageable length, I'll post it and see if anyone's interested.
