one | two | three | four | five | six | seven | eight | nine
10 - Pairings – Have you ever gone outside your comfort zone and written a pairing you liked, but found you couldn't write, or a pairing you didn't like, and found you could?
I've had ideas that didn't pan out, certainly. I really wanted to write some Crystal/Lily AI9 femslash, but the story didn't have any oomph and the realization that the audience of that story was pretty much no one—not just because of the pairing but also because it was an AU set in the 70s in LA—wasn't that encouraging. It's rare that once I start writing something I can't get it to work, but that story was one of those times.
Still, I have to ship a pairing to write them. I've written a few stories with pairings that I wasn't super passionate about but never anything that I didn't ship when I started the story.
