Fanfiction? Me? Pfffft!

I make my stance on writing fanfiction clear again and again and what happens? Someone pops up in my [livejournal.com profile] 1sentence fake cut and asks if I'd write them a fic.

I don't write fanfiction.

At least, I don't write anything beyond really short shortfics and even then only with a particularly strong bolt of inspiration that I know I can knock off in a short piece. [livejournal.com profile] 1sentence was a format I could do because it only asked one sentence for every theme and even then it took me a couple of months to finish the set!

Let's see, the total of my fanfiction... two Mary Sues back in Sevilia, a handful of shortfics in BG that I intended as a epic tale of Narrienna Gorionchild's course through the events of BG2 but never got much further than a handful of ficlets, one third of a projected three chapter DBZ fic, a couple of Round Robin chapters in Apocafictica, a brief return to BG for the sake of a silly little scene between Blaise, Solaufien and Imoen and my Squall/Griever sentence set.
Considering how short all of them are that's not a hell of a lot of writing to show for 4 and a half years online.

The reason I post my plotbunnies here as summaries is because those plotbunnies always occur to me as multichapter ideas. I don't ask people to adopt them but I am grateful when someone does.

I will reitterate my stance: Never expect fanfiction from me, I will suport all my favourite fic writers but me writing? Rarely happens. And I don't do requests.

Okay, no fanfiction.... so how about reading some then? ^^;

I'm always reading - though whether I read a given fic depends on whether I like the pairing or the premise enough.

Not to mention that just walking up to someone and asking for a fic when they're not doing the whole drabble request meme? Ruuuude.

Sooo...if I was to request you to jump up and down on your bed screaming I love SOS.... you wouldn't do it?
