Torture!

You know, there's this roller-coaster which always accompanies writing (for me)...it's this continual movement, up and down, and it's even worse when I'm writing something like an exchange fic.

I'm working on the snupin fic, which is coming together very nicely (joy), and I am feeling all of these things concurrently, which is making my head spin:

• The recipient is going to hate it. I don't think this is what they were looking for.


• I am having the time of my life writing this. I can't imagine a more perfect scenario for me to write.


• I've bitten off way more than I should have. I'm glad that I'm flexible, and was able to rearrange things.


• I adore this fic.


• No one will understand this fic except for me, and one other person in the fandom who I know, for certain, shares this interest.


• I really love this fic.


• It's not going to receive any comments because no one's going to read it because it's such a bizarre niche-fic.


• I can't wait to finish this fic, yet I know I'm going to be sad when it's over, because I am really enjoying it.


• It's so utilitarian. I must embellish it. But if I embellish it too much, it'll be too much. Maybe I should leave it stripped down. Or maybe I should embellish it.


• No one is going to like this. They're going to get one paragraph into it and throw up their hands in despair.


• I am so very much hoping that odddollsstories thinks it's decent.


• I think I will actually be very, very happy with this fic, as long as the recipient likes it. If they don't, I'm going to be so very sad for ruining someone's fic exchange experience.

What's Ron's quote? "One person can't feel all that at once, they'd explode?" Heh.

Seriously, all of these thoughts have gone through my head today, sometimes all at the same time.

On the plus side, if you are writing for lupin_snape , you are very very likely to get comments. Last year's Snupin Santa was a veritable comment-fest. That's true even if you are writing a total niche-fic.

I was thinking that same thing, because Snupiners are awesome, but still, I can't help but cringe, y'know? It's just a weird kind of fic, and I haven't seen anything exactly like it before, though a few times I've seen similar, yet they were...er...crack!fic, honestly.

So I'm nervous. Yeah. Really nervous.

I do like to read a fic that isn't exactly like anything I've seen before! I think they call that "originality."

I'm psyched to see this one.

Oh, dear! I was supposed to make it sound so weird and strange that you'd be pleasantly surprised, not make it sound like something you'd actually want to read. hee! Not that it matters, with no name attached.
