A Canon Writer's Thoughts
Nov. 25th, 2008 11:35 amI'm giving myself a BREAK. For like a few minutes LOL
The other day I was thinking: why am I able to write so much Stargate: SG-1 fanfic and not so much Supernatural fanfic? My passion and fannishness of the shows are fairly equal. I'd even say that my fannishness for Smallville is equal. So how come at the height of my SG-1 days I could pump out at least one fic a week, but with SPN or SV I can't? Have a lost my touch? I want to write lots of SPN, darn it! I love that show.
Aside from my current time constraints and my need to focus on my original fic *is jealous of people that can do both at the same time*... I argue it isn't lack of interest or desire, but the nature of the shows themselves and how the intersect with my writing wants and needs.
( Stargate: SG-1, Supernatural, and Smallville are three shows that have very different structures/outcomes )
I'm sure everyone's experiences are different, but that's my take :)
ETA: There could be potential S4 SPN spoilers in the comments so be careful.
