Quote:Well, that's what the good authors and artists do. Some authors put out the literary equivalent to stick figures. I doubt that they put too much of themselves into those. I put plenty of my own emotions and experiences into my writing.
I feel the exact same way. I've been known on occation to delete a twenty-thirty page fic just because I began to suspect it sucked. I could have gone back through it and fixed what was really wrong with it but I felt that if one part was bad odds are the rest blew too so might as well scrap the project and start from scratch. If a fic doesn't have that certain something that I feel people (or at least I) can empathize with I feel like it's a complete waste of space.
