I tend to have a very lyrical style (as in, this is a word that repeatedly shows up in reviews), and I usually just post the fic and see what happens. I mean, I know I ought to run it through a beta, but I've never gotten the hang of betas, mostly for reasons of impatience more than anything else. So I just tend to ... throw it out there, and see how people take it.

People do tell me when they come across weird bits. I've gotten comments asking me what I meant by such-and-such a thing, or what this character meant when he said that, etc. And then I tell them what I intended it to mean, and sometimes they go 'oh, okay, that clears things up, thanks', and sometimes they go 'I can see now how you might have meant that, but I still think it comes across more as this', and sometimes they'll just go 'hon, you weren't even close'.

You win some, you lose some, is my point. And when it comes to how other people are going to interpret something, you just aren't going to know until it's out there and they've actually tried.

Most people I've encountered have been nice enough about it, though. I think I've been in lucky fandoms or something.

That's pretty much what I ran into. It's actually pretty fun seeing how other people interpret something.

Yup. I have done completely off-the-wall, stream of consciousness fic (when I'm sleep-deprived at 4am, I either write some of the best stuff I've ever written, or some of the most absolute batshit insane, and it seems to be more or less a 50-50 chance), and some of the responses are fascinating.

I have been described as an 'experimental' writer. Which I think is probably kinder, if less accurate, than 'sleep-deprived and probably insane'.
