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?

Thought I'd pop in here for a mo. Your statement about darkfic getting fewer comments I can't really speak to having never posted dark fic. However, I just want to say that the writers and readers of darkfic are amazingly supportive to new writers angsting over entering the genre. I've had so many people offering me assistance and hand holding as I try to make my way through the writing of darkfic. I can't tell you how very much I've appreciated it. So thanks!

That's because a) we want good new writers! and b) because we remember what it was like when we first ventured into darkfic. <3

Well, I appreciate the vote of confidence. Whatever the reason I really do appreciate it.
