But, frankly, I write until *I* enjoy the results. Selfish? Really? I don't think anyone can enjoy anything if its author doesn't really like it first.
This isn't selfish, imo. As you say, it'd be difficult to enjoy something if the author didn't enjoy it just a little as well. Also, writing is a form of communication, imo. Writing what one wants is very much along the say lines as saying what one thinks, to me: it's very important if we're ever going to get anything real and true communicated anywhere. If that makes sense.
And then there's the contradiction that is me: I LOVE writing for other people.
Ironic, but perhaps not a contradiction. If you love doing it, it's for yourself in some part too...As long as you enjoy it, I think the end result is something of value (heh, to at least one person...but almost always more!)
And about Best Souvenir. I'm so tempted to forget my no-WIPs rule and dive into it. *pouts*
I don't recommend that you do so. The updates come very slowly. But thanks for being interested!
