Criminy. When the dam breaks, it breaks hard. The Tachikoma story is at 1500 words and barely started. I can't help but wonder if this is just a liiiiittle too in-depth for the patience of most readers, though. I mean, it's not actually all that sexy, despite their best efforts, and while it's funny (at least I think it's funny) it's not erotic in the slightest. And this is supposed to be for kink_bingo.

I dunno, I guess I have an abstraction kink. :D Might as well keep going!

Oh, it's entirely too easy to second-guess! Like many people, I am better at giving advice than taking it.

Really, I...often I feel like people are reading me despite by best efforts to sabotage myself? I don't post to communities (much), I get up and change journal sites with sort of salt-the-earth-and-don't-look-back vigor (that's the big one; my fic journal here has about 20% of the watchers that my LJ had at its peak), I walk away from thriving fandoms because I'm bored with the characters or surly at the fans. People tell me they like slash and I respond by writing het. I'm sort of my own worst enemy, despite all the polling people for their interests and taking drabble requests and so on. And sometimes I feel rotten about the attention I'm presumably losing thanks to this erratic behavior, but I'm pretty sure I'd feel worse if I were trying to keep cranking out Zack/Cloud first-time fic three years after I stopped wanting to.

...Which is an appallingly long-winded way of saying it's a pain but it's worth it. ^^;

What's a poll for if not to give you some results to be contrary about? :D

Actually, that's something with a little more meat to it, now that I think about it. Doing what people want is gratifying as long as you want the same thing--but spiting public opinion is a joy forever.
