mithen--Do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)?
Only in the sense that I refuse to feel guilty about them. :D But almost everything I enjoy writing is self-indulgent and tropey in some way, most of it holdovers from reading every Regency Romance in my small town library in high school: pining, misunderstandings, stoically suffering characters with secret hearts of gold, playing with identity, "happy ever after" endings, swoony first times.
Speaking of which, I just finished up my longish moviefic which has spoonfuls of the last two, yay! And am re-committing to trying to write mostly one-shots in comic book fandom, since I'm apparently still pretty burnt out about writing longer stories. We'll see how long that resolution lasts...
Oh, and is anyone doing Yuletide and/or NaNo? I got my Yuletide assignment and am psyched and will probably be writing them a treat to boot, so that's good!
