the_rckI now have the website for my fanfic up and running. There's not much there at the moment, just the first chapter of my current story and a list of other fics that I recommend. The url is http://www.therck.org but please don't feel any obligation to go look. The recommendations will only be of interest to those who like anime related fanfic, and the story... Well, I expect that most people will find it (a) uninteresting, (b) confusing, or (c) repellent; it's intended for a very specific audience, after all, and presupposes some knowledge of both the series canon and the fandom. If you take a look, please take the warnings seriously and don't even try reading the stupid thing if anything mentioned there creeps you out.
I'm a little dubious about letting people I actually know (however remotely in some cases) see this fic. I suppose that some of that comes from a lifetime of maintaining an "I'm a nice girl" façade. It's a fairly safe place to be, and I still, even at 35, know people who edit their language around me so as not to shock or offend. But I need to get rid of those inhibitions in my writing and stop worrying about what people will think of me because of what I write. If I don't, I'll stop writing again, and that would be a great pity because I love doing it and because it seems to be good for me.
I guess what I'm trying to say is-- If you do read the chapter I've posted and you hate it, please don't tell me. Well, it's okay to tell me if you think it's badly written, plotted and the like or if you think the characterization's uneven or whatever technical details may come to mind. Just don't tell me I'm wrong to have written it because you don't like the content.
