Ff'net: not good for the ego
No, really. Someone explain this to me. I've been poking tonight and-- ok, wait. First off.
WHY IS THERE SOUL MATES FIC FOR KARA/ANDERS ALREADY.
Soul mates.
People.
You're makin' my soul bleed, here. Not to mention, there aren't enough of us writing Kara/Anders for there to be this much badfic!
ANYWAY. What gets me? I click on the reviews for these (read: not written by me Kara/Anders) fics, and people are like, "Yay! K/A fic, I'm so glad to find some!"
...Yes. Because the (what, fifteen?) ones I posted, several weeks back? Totally not K/A fic. At all.
--except that I totally just figured it out.
I don't write them mushy (well, not often). I had this problem with S/J fic, too. I don't write them completely and utterly unable to function without the other. I write them. Well. Mocking each other and frakking and not particularly loveydovey. They fall out of bed a lot, too. (at least, this is the only thing I can come up with. Anyone else got any other theories?)
...dude. My Cally/Chief fic, which isn't very long at all, andis NOW CANON WTF has more reviews than the Kara/Sam stuff.
But. Er. I'm sure this was going to be longer, and then Rhi made me think about TELEPATHIC VIPERS.
So. Whatever.
eta: Oh. Hey. Best review I ever got:
I have to admit that after reading some of your earlier postings I'd avoided your writing as unrealistic and soppy. ((nice things edited, because I'm not wanting ego-stroking, just amusement))
And, actually, they are right, in a way. A lot of my early stuff was soppy and sappy -- not all of it, of course. But the tendency was there (anyone who's ever seen the original first draft of SCW can attest to the badness. omg.).
Which makes me wonder. Did I beat it out of myself, or did exposure to better writers do it?

no subject
(I love it when they fall out of bed or off things, btw. They could do that every time and I'd be fine.)
no subject
(As do I. I blame, um, too much bad porn that is all cookie-cutter and and... People do fall out of bed, damnit. Plus. The tables probably aren't all that supportive.)
