Spring thoughts
Mar. 21st, 2012 08:15 amFirst of all, thank you, ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
green_maia, for the lovely spring gift! I would quote poetry in return, but I already posted my favourite March poem last year.
The downside of finishing your challenge stories early is that you have to wait for another month or two for the feedback (if any). This used to be nothing, but the days of the internet are making one greedy and impatient. Bah. On the other hand, I'll have a very busy April and May, rl wise, so it's good to get the stories done ahead of time. The remix one ended up none of the big fandoms I share with my remixee but a more rare one, so come late April and Remix Redux gets revealed, you're probably going to hear a lot "arggh! Will anyone even read this?!" angst from me. Also, somehow her very short original text ended up inspiring one of my longest (not quite the longest, but up there with three or four) epics, so there is that. :) (Something else: when I posted it at the AO3, I checked what else was there under the possible fandom names (there were three under which I could post the story). This led to the inevitable experience you have when first starting to look for material in a new-to-you fandom. You know: A/B? Well yes, obviously. Not sure I'd slash them myself but I can totally see where this is coming from. A/B/C? Yep, can see where this is coming from as well, and it's a nice way to incorporate the canon OTPness of B/C. A/D?!? What the - my impression was that A and D can't stand each other, and not in the fun sexual frisson way. Ah well. To each their - hang on, this one actually is really well written. I still think A/D is "what the hell?" in theory, but the story by its own sells me on it.... Oh God, no one ever has written A/F though it's such a big and hotly debated thing in canon? And there's no A & G nor A/G despite the fact G is such an interesting character and G's relationship to A as well as F was what I really really wanted to write about and did write about. So, on the bright side: it's nice to be a pioneer and unless things change until late April, I'll have written the first G character exploration, G/A UST, A/F, G & F & A tale online. On the dark side of the force: WHO THE HELL WILL READ MY STORY? :)
Meanwhile, the claiming of prompts for queer_fest has started. Transsexuals in Centauri society, here I come!
