Re: 7
And no, you're not the only one. There's just so much detail present in that series, both in the surroundings and the lives of all the different people encountered throughout, that could be tricky to emulate in a fanfic. Not to mention writing the multilayered characters accurately, and all the research that might have to be done!
Writing for it would be a difficult task, certainly, but I say it's not an impossible one! I say if you feel inclined to write for the fandom, then please go for it :) You'll never know 'till you try!

(Anonymous) 2007-06-17 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)I would, but a) I haven't got nearly enough time on my hands and b) Even so I just somehow couldn't bring myself to try. I'd be terrified of writing something cataclysmically disastrous.
Re: 7
I wish I could do something about the lack of time, but I seriously doubt whatever you wrote would end up a cataclysic disater! You seem to be a well-spoken person with a sense of what they'd be getting into by writing Monster-related works, and I think that can really make all the difference sometimes. You'd already be aware of and would respect the fact that writing for it would require a lot of work, which would probably result in a well-thought out story that pays attention to canon. So don't worry, I'm not seeing any potential for disaster! XD
