Bad luck & other depressing things

[wiseheart]

I've missed the nomination window of the MEFAs. Granted, I haven't written any new Tolkienfic for oh, two years or so? But I tend to have my old stuff nominated, just to be remembered in the fandom until I can pick up writing for it again. Well, I've missed the opportunity this year, and nobody in the yahoo groups where I'm semi-present posted a reminder. Too bad, but it can't be helped now.

Reading Torchwood fic on FF.Net is increasingly nauseating. Save from a few heroes like milady_dragon or aviv_b, the Gwack is rising; and so is Miracle Whip related drivel. And I can't even help even out things - the stuff I write is at the moment strictly episode-related AU, with a lot of original dialogue rewritten and used differently. It would be still enough for some idiot to report me and have my account yanked. I can't risk that. So I can't post my stuff to the Pit of Voles. Well, at least I don't get flames this way, either.

I'm so frigging depressed it isn't even funny. It's strange how little it takes to reach that stage in these days.

hang in there i have a feeling that the mw trend will not last much longer if the ratings continue to slip. i admit a bit of smut and a decent bash are favorites but a well crafted story with plot is and always will be my first choice. with you i know writing is a labor of love and it shows in your stories.

Thanks. It's my firm belief that a bit of smut and a decent bash can fir into a well crafted story just fine. Too bad that most people don't even make the effort. Fortunately, we have a handful of excellent AGA writers.
