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?

My biggest wobblies-inducing moment is when I have to send a fic over to a beta. Knowing that the beta's name will also be attached to the product, I feel a responsibility that the story will not sully her name :). If it is solely credited to myself, then I'd just write and post whatever I am capable of writing at the moment (because I tend to have zero control over what appears on the screen ... and fanfic is fun for me because of that). It doesn't mean I write for myself—or else I wouldn't have written at all ;)—but I think the stories will select for their own audience and it isn't something I can worry too much about :)
