it’s the writer’s curse; we are jealous breed of maniac.
Well, it's true that in writing I am often jealous, maniacal, and possessive. I mean honestly, who isn't? It just comes with the hobby. Luckily so far I've been able to dodge the alcoholism, probably because I'm not a professional or particularly prolific.
All that aside, though...
Plus, you know that whatever somebody else writes, no matter how fantabulous, will have you thinking “Oh, yeah, awesome, but I wonder why s/he didn’t…”
Point of fact, I *won't* feel that way. See, as much as I am jealous, critical, and possessive, I'm not just a writer, I'm a fanfiction writer, and that means I participate the in collective-squee + laziness social equation. If I get wind of a neat idea, and I know there's brilliant writers out there who are better suited to it than myself (and also people whose work I love to read), I'm happy to offer it up for collective fandom to squee over and run with. FULL TILT.
In this case, my motive is in pursuit of the hypothetical fic itself, not my own writing experience.
all that and some cranberries
