Fandom Ramblings

Why, oh why, do I  keep getting drawn into such angst ridden fandoms/pairings? Seriously, RL is depressing enough. I don't need to be crying over fanfiction and I certainly shouldn't enjoy crying over fanfiction so much. It just ain't right.

*sigh*

It's seriously bad when you cry over your own fic as you're writing it! Yes, I have done that [g]

I'm new to fic writing, so I'm trying to stay away from angst stories. I'm not sure I would be able to write one all that well.

I wrote a Forever Knight fic where one of the OCs took poison when the Romans attacker her village. 10 odd years alter, I still cry when I reread that part [g] I'm very pathetic! The PotC/Highlander cross I wrote a few months ago made me cry so much as I was writing, I had to stop.

Don't feel too bad. Some of my favorite fics, in various fandoms, are angst stories and I cry every time I read them.

But angst is good. To quote from an episode of Dr Who (dont' remember episode title, but it was this year) "sad is happy for deep people."

I did my fair share of angstfics when I was in fanfiction. Now I do novels with angsty romance.
