observations
I've been thinking about this for a while. I don't write for the feedback.
If I wrote for the feedback, I'd produce the same romance-novel-style shit that garners such love on the Sam/Jack list, Kara/Lee communities, and McKay/Sheppard places.
I write for me.
I finish and post for the feedback.
There are, at an estimate, 500 unfinished stories on my hard drive (770 files in the folder, estimate a chunk are random note files, collections of drabbles and fic prompts, and finished stories I haven't moved to a different folder). And most of those, I will never bother finishing. Because no one wants to read them, or will care, and I know how they end.
Same goes for my graphics. I have three months' worth of icons from contests and random bits of inspiration I've never bothered to post. And probably never will.
