Fic Stress

[kaitybear]

Anyone who follows my tumblr will know that last night I was in a pretty rotten mood because of the pressure I’m feeling about writing fic. I’ve been a fic writer for a decade now and it’s something that’s brought me so much joy in my life because the fandoms and people in those fandoms are amazing. This isn’t to say that those feelings have

I'm just getting around to responding to comments now -_-
But I just want to say, AGAIN, that your writing is great as well. Don't sell yourself short. You're amazing and I'm honoured to know you and write with you!

Aw, don't let the pressure get to you! Your stories are fantastic and they're always worth the wait! They ALWAYS exceed my expectations.

I've written Tike fics but they're terrible. Plus I haven't had time to update them. =[

Thank-you!

I've tried to ignore the pressure (and I think I'm doing okay so far since posting this) but I just... hate letting people down. I want to make sure that if people are going to take the time to read something I've read or check for an update that I'm making it worth their while, you know?
It's only been a week of the 'new pace' but already I feel like I might finish things like Asian Kiss and not just flail in frustration every time I go to write.
But thanks for the support. It means a lot to know that I'm not going to loose readers/friends over this <3

Don't worry about us...we just happy to get you as one of great Tike fanfic writers out there. I love all your writings, even if it's not about Tike..Take your time (second thought, don't take too long though..i'll probably end up rotten here...LOL..) , and when you get back full gear up, I will be in line for reading your fanfics ....^__^

Oh, thanks! I'm trying to work out a better balance (so far so good) but I hate disappointing people! It won't be a fic every couple days anymore, but one every week or week and a half is probably a more reasonable pace.
Thanks for the love.

For every time you feel the weight in on your shoulders I will write you a story or play 'head canon' games with you. For when you feel pressured, I will spam you with silly barely-related pictures and Tike ramblings, and when you don't want to think about Glee at all, I will go away and write things for when you do.

But I know what you mean. I've been feeling like I can't keep up my pace recently. Not that the ideas aren't there, but that I just haven't got the time to form them into actual stories.

But then, I'm not so fandom famous (and rightly so because you're a kickass writer), so people don't rag me like they must to you. ;)

I just wanted to leave a *hug* here really. Because you and your writing and your wonderful head canoning make me happy. And I will take what I can get, when I can get it.
