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 don't write much and I have no interest in writing for professional publication, so I don't worry too much about what anyone thinks of my fic. Naturally it is nice if people like it (and of course they should because it's good, what there is of it), but if they don't, too bad. If people were paying me for it, I'd bother to take the tastes of the market into account, but they aren't so I don't.

Silmarillion genfic being, shall we say, an extremely minority interest, makes the above attitude a lot easier to sustain.
