Games thread!

For me, I think, it's the fact that the traits I like about the Harry Potter novels are totally unrelated to the traits that I like about detective novels or... tragicomic novels set in Britain, if that's what we're going for in terms of genre. Just totally distinct kinds of literature.

Same here! It sounds like a baby trying to talk. "Dah dah. Dah dah!"

[(Anonymous)]

Or an incredibly idiotic artistic movement.

[sarillia]

At least you're still writing. My writing gets neglected for things that aren't productive at all.

[sarillia]

Aww, there's some interesting thought experiments in Dada.

[(Anonymous)]

While we're on the topic: I am sick of 4'33''.

The same thing happened to me with the "final boss" character from AA Investigations. I wasn't spoiled for it, and I liked the character even before the reveal, but after it I found them fascinating, despite that I usually hate evil characters who pretend to be nice.

[silverr]

Nah, it's not weird. He's entirely munchable.

[(Anonymous)]

I was in a group like that, and we had someone very much like you're describing. Except it was definitely not entertaining. They were so all-pervasive with their narcissism and disrespect for others that the group couldn't function and fell apart. Sad day.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not quite sure why you feel that you need to leave one to pursue the other. They're not mutually exclusive. I'm a fandom member, an aca-fan, and a multi-published author. I exist within all three identities, and am known across them. You can still publish while participating in fandom. They provide different outlets of creativity at times, or feed into one another at other times.

[othellia]

Eh, I wouldn't really worry about it. It'd be like pushing Broadchurch on a person just because they liked Doctor Who.

Yes, both shows are good. And both shows star David Tennant. Hell, even the headwriter of Broadchurch wrote for Doctor Who.

But at the end of the day, one show is about the murder of a young boy in a small costal town and then other is about a man who flies around all of time and space in a magic box.

[silverr]

Noted.

[(Anonymous)]

even the most miserable git would probably look at their relationship and see that they seem genuinely happy with each other despite their glaring flaws

like they're the antithesis of the obnoxious bickering couple that are presented as normal

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Fortunately this is a very laid back group; people float in and out when they have something to say or want to toss in a topic for consideration. And there are enough of us who actually care about each other that one prince(ss) holding court doesn't make much difference.

It sounds like your group wasn't so lucky. :(

[othellia]

I feel the same way. After a long day at work, do I work on my personal stuff that won't truly see the light of day until AT LEAST another year (and that's assuming I sat down and committed myself to it every single night)... or do I work on a chapter that I can post in about a week or so and get instant hits/comments/favorites/follows/etc?

One solution might be to get a writing group and/or show what you have so far to real life friends. You have no idea what their reactions will be, but it's something.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel similarly about the use of Dwarrow in the Hobbit fandom. Yes, Tolkien came up with the name. But, it is never used in his works. They're always referred to as dwarves. I'm also irritated by the use of fauntling. Most of the time it's used incorrectly. Even when it's not, it still bugs me.

[dinogrrl]

Yeah, this. I have one big original project going on, and lots of fandom projects. I may work on one exclusively for a while but that certainly doesn't mean I've given up the others, it just means that's where my inspiration and flow are at that particular time. Right now I'm in my original fic zone, but that's mostly research rather than writing; while I'm doing that, if I happen to come across something fandom-related that I find interesting, I just bookmark it for later when I'm in fandom-zone.

If you're getting more out of fandom right now, then do what makes you happy. If you really want to work on your original stuff but thrive with outside feedback, I'd suggest finding a writing group online and/or a local writers' group. Or maybe find a club relevant to your story's genre or theme or somesuch, maybe talking to members will give you inspiration to work on your story.

[feotakahari]

If you have a beta reader, they may be interested in looking at your non-fandom work. In all honesty, I'm not sure I'd have finished without her.

[kamino_neko]

Of course you are...any song that plays as the 24/7 soundtrack for your life would get annoying after a while.

[(Anonymous)]

Not everyone has the time or mental discipline to compartmentalize their life effectively. It may be an either or situation. Heck I feel this way every time I write for more than one fandom.
