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?

The wobblies have hit me a bit too hard this winter season and I'm determined not to let them rule my fate in 2010! In fact, I purposely chose things that audiences wouldn't like in my future fests. I don't think I'm slated to even write H/D until the summer, other than your lovely fic I promised to write you, at some point.

I was tempted to pick the last option only because I find myself absolutely horrified at how much I care about writing well received fantasy porn (with the occasional non-porn). I wish there were a button to turn that off, but I'm afraid insecurity is the name of the game with creative works.

But I will not let it consume me! I will overcome and continue to write stuff that only I, and a few other lovely people, seem to enjoy.

And just to add, everything I write while it has to please me, also has to please my hubby, so perhaps I am writing for an audience, and audience of one :) But in general I have trouble trying to imagine what an audience will like as they tend to enjoy the most random things. Its sort of like trying to imagine where a rain drop will fall. Doesn't mean I wouldn't like it to fall where I want it though.
