fic_rush_48Or: The Pains and Misery of Shipping, the fic_rush edition.
Do you stare at fandom and not understand why everyone concentrate on the romance while what you want to write is that epic genny longfic? Do your shipping preferences contradict that of anyone else in fandom? Are you THAT OT3er when everyone else goes for the OTP and care not about poor 3? Do you ship the least popular OTP of all time?
Are you the only person who ever wrote Owen/Amy? Or Brannigan/Valerie, for that matter? Do you randomly compare and consider two huge movies and then the penny drops all of a sudden and you go, OMG NATASHA/SELINA IS JUST SO OBVIOUS AND WONDERFUL only to find you are the only person to write this, AGAIN? Do you, too, want MOAR BRUCE/SELINA?
In short: ARE YOU A SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE LIKE ME?! AND HOW CAN WE ACHIEVE GALACTIC DOMINATION THROUGH IT???
Share it with us here. That's what we're here for (well, no, we're here to write fic, not to complain about how no one cares about our ship, but, y'know, I'm writing a presentation).

I salute you for writing what you want and not what will get you more readers.
I've been terribly distracted since about ten o'clock this morning. Blame my husband. In a good way, though. I ended up taking a nap, and I'm just now drinking that pot of coffee I thought I'd make this morning. Anyway, I have added 339 new words to my story.

Now back to writing.
