My strategy isn’t “write for myself” it’s “have an insane ego.” Some of my fics I love flop and I’m like “y’all are wrong. Its awesome. Im sorry you didnt enjoy it.” I don’t love all my fics but you cant shake my belief that certain ones are good unless you give me good critiques
This is dumb and vulnerable and I may regret asking and delete, but here goes anyway: fic writers, how do you deal with the heartbreak of having a project you were very excited about absolutely flopping? I had a bunch more planned & written. I can’t bring myself to open the doc
