Now this is very concerning

[shapinglight]

I've just finished the first draft of my offering for the anniversary round of seasonal_spuffy, and just for once I don't think it's the worst piece of writing by anyone since forever (which probably means it is). Also, it's quite sickeningly curtain ficc-y (far more so than anything else I've written ever), and has bugger all to do with the theme of the round.

Ooh dear!

Yay for finishing first drafts! :o) None of my stuff has to do with the theme of the round either...it's optional, right?

What do you mean by curtain ficc-y?

[shapinglight]

Hello. Sorry I took so long to answer.

Curtain fic is a term for fic with a very domestic bent. Not my usual sort of thing really.

As you're still afraid that it is the worst piece of writing, just in a different way, I think you are ok ;P

[shapinglight]

Yeah, probably. ;)

Go with it, I say :)

[shapinglight]

I will if only because I've got no choice.

Tee! How upsetting!

*iz jealous*

The theme is totally optional, of course.

The theme is totally optional, of course.

;) Just as well. I was vaguely thinking about it being set ten years after NFA, but that was too long. So it's ended up having nothing to do with the theme at all.

Usually you think it's bad writing, but this time you don't think it's bad writing - so that probably means it really is. Sort of hard to win on those terms. And yet I have no doubt that I will love it.

[shapinglight]

I hope so. It's the polar opposite of the sort of thing I used to write. ;)

Congrats on completing the first draft! I keep thinking I'm close, and I write some more, and then I'm not. :P

Can't wait to read it!

[shapinglight]

Well, I hope it's worth the wait.

Even if not, though, it's pretty short so at least it won't take you long to read. ;)

I'm not touching this comment with a bargepole.

[shapinglight]

Very wise. ;)
