fanfiction fun??

As I've been whining to [livejournal.com profile] daybreak777 about writing, this idea came up: I should be having fun while writing. Huh?

[Poll #1789400]

I thought about letting y'all select "I reject your binary choices!" but then the choices wouldn't be binary, would they? So if you want that to be your answer, you'll just have to comment. *grins*

Writing fic is slogging through the muck of misplaced, context-less words, arranging them into some semblance of order, then hosing them down to remove the remaining debris. It's not fun, although I do sometimes find it satisfying and I nearly always like the finished product.

What about you?

It is frustrating. But I have to have fun with it. It's rare that I've pushed through not fun writing and and liked it just because it existed. I have to say nearly every story I've posted except for three I've really enjoyed the process of writing them.

Editing, however, is another story. Ugh. Fortunately people help me with that! They are called betas! And I like talking fic with these beta peoples so that's fun too. :-)
