writer's block
Apr. 19th, 2006 09:35 pmI've been reading a lot of fanfiction lately in keeping with my current new obsession, "Supernatural," (and because I get really bored at work), and it has made me realize how rusty my writing has actually gotten. I wrote a short speculative fanfic and sent it in to a good site, and then upon rereading it, especially in comparison with all the others ones that are up there, decided that I really need some practice. It needed editing, and badly. I remember the days when I would write several pieces a day, and anything from a picture to a song to someone else's idea would inspire me. Now, I have no good ideas, and even when I have a good one, I can't get it onto paper the way it plays in my head and reads like a high school creative writing assignment.
And here's another thing: you know what really irks me? Slash. Maybe guy-on-guy turns some people on, but I think it's icky. And the only thing worse than general slash is Supernatural slash, commonly called "Wincest" because the characters are 2 brothers whose last name is Winchester. Why would you ever fantasize about two brothers? That's in such bad taste. And it completely freaks me out.
