Dude, chick never posted our StS, did she?
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

My Remix writer is the one who made me want to write Narnia fic! This rocks.

RL, plenty of people write poems about shows.... Or did you mean something else?

No, that's what I meant, I'm just being a bitch. I've read very little good fan poetry, and I've read *one* fan poem that made me go "wow, I wish I could do that". And that even doesn't really count, because it was a sonnet cycle about The Gift. Which, while an amazing effort, it's not the kind of writing I'm into doing myself.
Whereas for fic *daily* I read stories that make me *ache* with the desire to be able to kick that much ass. Stories that could have very easily been written by fiction-writing professionals; stories by people who are better than I am and better maybe than I'll ever be.
I love fandom, and ficdom. I'm in love with it so much I think about it daily, and I'd like nothing better than to do well in it, have the people I respect and admire respect me in return. Isn't that a basic desire in any field? But I'm put out because (right now at least) my prose is not amazing or even very good. My poetry *is* very good-- I believe that. I wish I had the opportunity to contribute to fandom, which I love so much, in the way fic-writers do, with the thing I am strong at. But there's really no market that I've seen of yet.

I love poetry, but I rarely think in poetry. I can come up with near-poetic sentences, but I'm afraid my skills poem-wise lie in the William the Bloody Awful realm.

I can't write poetry. Actually, I can, but it sucks. Very much.
Any idiot can write doggrel. You know, you need a licence to drive a car or own a dog or even fish; you'd think there would be some sort of poetic licence.

lm? I know she was still working on it. Don't know if she's finished it. I know that post-deadline subs will, so it's been said, eventually go up.
