Today's discussion question: How long does it take for you to feel comfortable writing in a new fandom? Does it vary by fandom? Is there a particular kind of fic (ie porn) that you tend to find yourself writing first?

I'm having trouble buckling down to work on actual writing, for no apparent reason. Just procrastinating, I guess! So I spent the time in editing rather than writing, but it was good -- except when I was goofing off by surfing and playing computer games instead of doing anything writerly. ;-)

I have trouble writing in a new fandom, because I feel like I don't know enough about it to write fully and properly. But sometimes the nature of the story that grabs me in a new fandom makes it possible to get past that hurdle. There are a couple of fandoms that I have good story ideas for that I haven't jumped into yet, mostly because of the time it would take to really figure out them out. Once I get some of my long-standing WIPs out of the way, I will take the time and try to delve into some new territory, I think.
