*mind wipes self so you can carry on with your plan*
As for that fic by tacks, YEAH. It took me about halfway through the first chapter before I caught her rhythm. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks. It's like a Sliding Doors scenario, set up at the end of Curse of the Black Pearl. Norrington's sick. Let the hurt/comfort begin. (And obviously if it's just not your bag, then it's just not. There are certain fics I avoid because they strike me as false, as having been written to "fit in" with a crowd, or just really purple and overwrought.)
I love love love the prison fic I wrote, but honestly, the Gen-fic fits the actual movie better. I love artistic pieces (as I call them in my head) but really, I like the ones that put me back in the movie/book/show so much more. Um, I guess I should say TOOT TOOT. [/own horn]
I like both--artistic fics and fics that get you back inside the source material, I mean. I'm working on a post on this. About what you put in a fic vs what would "really" happen. And I already did a post on writing for theme/artistic/masterpiece purposes and writing for character/plot/masturbatory purposes, I think. And there's too much I want to say and I've been spending ALL DAY on lj because I miss it so.
I have a secret h/c kink but never tell anyone because it's so easy to do badly; I don't want people to think I like schlock.
I'll get to them all eventually I hope--thanks again.
