3 Things

[stormkeeper_lovedoris]

 
1. I'm so happy about the fanfic I posted last week. It got more reviews than my fics usually get. Also it helped explain something. The story took place pre-Season 1 (AKA Academy era). Almost all of my other fics take place much later, but I see now that most fans seem to prefer Academy era. So maybe this helps explain why some of my other works didn't get the number of reviews I wanted

2. Although it's raining now, on Saturday we had gorgeous sunny weather. It was in the 50's which is crazy! Doris had to work but we enjoyed the day afterwards

3. And Sunday we had a nice, lazy, 'at home' day together.

Speaking only for myself here, if it's the story I'm thinking of: I tend to like romantic stories better (when I do read them, which admittedly isn't often) if it's about how they fell in love, rather than seeing them already together and happy. There's definitely a huge fic market for happy domestic bliss (I've seen DOZENS revolving around Steve/Bucky alone), but it just depends on the ship. I reckon whether it's a canon ship or not plays into that somewhat, but I would need to research it more.

Thank you. That totally makes sense. I now think that like you, most people lean more towards the 'how did they fall in love' camp. I guess I've always been in the domestic bliss category (or even the category of, 'okay they're happy together, now what?') So it's good to know that the thing with my fanfics is that I'm just not writing the style of story that many readers prefer.

I just finished a book on tape today, and at the end the author specifically thanked people who wrote or emailed him to tell him what they enjoyed about his writing, I totally thought of you :D

:) I didn't know that writers of actual books (not fanfics) did that!
