Ah artistic types ...

Very quick poll, NB, the first word of the first answer should be care, but lj won't let me fix it. *Damn you, LJ!*:[Poll #1507051]For my own part, after RL attacks of the last option, I entered fandom determined to work solely for myself, and do sometimes achieve that happy state, but more often it's accompanied by occasional wobblies. Having chatted to several friends on the topic, the wobblies seem a common surprise guest.

What about you lot? And how do you combat the wobblies if you're someone they hit?

I generally know pretty well whether one of my fics is crap or great. So no, no wobblies about the inherent quality of my writing. BUT: of course comments mean a whole lot to me. :) They can make me view something I know is not all that good, in a different light and tell me that a story which does not live up to my lofty editor's (needs to be publishable) standards can still be a decent piece of fanfic. My Career Fair fic comes to mind.

Publishable quality, I meant. *headdesk* I never ever would want to publish fanfic.
