So let me share my ego collapse in fic writing. Writing SV got me spoiled stupid--In the last few years,I always had a pretty decent response to my stories. In fact lately, I've had what for me, is a wild response when I post SV. It's kind of mind boggling and god knows I love it. :) SpN, on the other hand...I post, and it's pretty much Cricketville. Dusty streets filled with tumbleweed. It's pretty humbling, I'll say. And disappointing, sure. Doesn't mean I'll stop writing it, because I love the various stories of these guys. But yeah, there are a hell of a lot of good writers, steep competition (it's the fandom of pain, in many ways, heh).

anyhoo, a shiny new fandom is winking at me, making me blush and giggle. I'll certainly never write in it, like loads of other fandoms I enjoy, but reading will be tons of fun. I need John Cooper icons! *G*

Oh boy, do I know what you're saying, only it's in SGA. I post and I'm thrilled if I get more than six comments. I look at the authors posting 300 word stories and getting 4 pages, not just a few years ago but last week, and wonder what the hell I have to do to get somewhere in the fandom. *sigh* Like you I'm going to keep writing because I like the stories I see waiting to be written.

Of course, I've paid for that by losing SV fans so that when I do write something there... Oh well. That's not why we write, right? *hugs*

I KNOW! I feel you!

I feel like I went from being someone kind of known in SV to being an unknown in *both* fandoms! Talk about blowing up my ego. Though I suspect that if I wrote underage dub-con for SpN I'd get known fast enough! *snort*
