Sorry, but it doesn't make sense to me that you could write something you wouldn't enjoy reading yourself.

[(Anonymous)]

The OP could enjoy reading/writing their own het and femmeslash and dislike reading other people's.

I'm the same with slash.

[(Anonymous)]

I suppose. The secret read more like "none at all" than "other people's" to me. But I see how it could go either way now.

[(Anonymous)]

I write lots of pairings I don't really like, usually because people requested it of me. Sometimes the pairing eventually grows on me. But sometimes I don't even go back and read my own fic because I really just don't like the pairing.

One of my most popular stories on ff.net (I'm speaking on a really small scale here) is a pairing I can't stand that I wrote for a request. I didn't hate writing it, and I did put my best effort into the fic. And I'm glad people like it. But I never read the pairing or look at art for it, because it annoys me like anything.

Seriously?

Are you a writer at all?

[(Anonymous)]

I am, and have been for years. It would bore me to death to write something I wasn't interested in, and I'd never be able to finish.

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

Have you never fulfilled a prompt for a challenge, or written something you don't like in order to challenge yourself? I can point to several things I've produced that involve characters in a way I don't read, or read much.

[(Anonymous)]

I've never done this, and I don't know why I would. It would bore me terribly, and the resulting story wouldn't be any good, because I'd have no real interest in the content.

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

Only you know what works on your own brain. But my question doubles as my answer - some writers do that, so that's how they can end up producing something they wouldn't necessarily read if somebody else had written it.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I enjoy writing slash/femmslash/het, but I just don't enjoy reading it. Maybe I'm weird, but I like that. That's kind of the point of the secret, that I enjoy writing all three, but I only enjoy reading slash 95% of the time.
