Re: OTPs

I think I'm probably the kind of person you say you don't get? I'm capable of writing a LOT of fic for one particular pairing, but it depends on that pairing. How do I put this... I always get interested in a pairing because of its particular dynamics, right? And obviously the characters are going to have different dynamics with other characters - a dynamic I'm not interested in - so I'm not interested in writing other pairings with my OTP characters.

If I want to explore the characters (let's call them Alex and Bob) outside of their relationship with each other, I tend to write genfic - I guess that's my version of a palate cleanser. But in terms of pairings, I'm only interested in the Alex/Bob dynamic, so why would I write anything else?

And I think I do manage to do different things with my Alex/Bob. I've had at least a few people comment that I'm particularly good at writing Alex in a lot of different ways but always keeping him plausible. If Alex is interpreted a little differently, how does that change his dynamic with Bob? That's the sort of thing that interests me. It probably helps that I'm quite fond of alternate canon fics, of the "change one little thing and see what happens" variety. So I'm not writing multiple longfic of exactly the same dynamic/characters - I get to explore variations that are diverse enough I don't get bored with the pairing.

(And just to clarify: my longest fic hit 150k, and I've written four others that average to about 30k each. My one-shots tend to be around 5k, and I occasionally write short fic of about 1-2k when I'm bored with the long stuff.)

To be honest, when I slow down/stop writing fic for a particular OTP, it's usually because I've fallen out of the fandom in general. It's been over a year since I wrote anything about the OTP I've been most prolific for... but I still construct stories about them in my head. I'm still not bored with them, and I still don't have any desire to pair them up with other characters. If RL stops kicking me repeatedly in the face, I might one day put some of these ideas down and go back to posting them again.

SA

The numbers I gave about my fics, btw? All in one fandom. I have other fandoms I haven't been as prolific in, but I've certainly written lengthy fics in them as well. =P
