How is today going for you?
Discussion: least favourite fic. Again, thinking about the fic you've written and posted this year, are there any that didn't quite work as you'd imagined them to. What is your own least favourite fic?
I have a few fics that are disappointing and the two that I’m going to say are my least favourites are Something That I Want, which was intended as a very shippy Janeway/Chakotay one-shot set post Cathexis it became very awkward and was around 350 words when I eventually finished it. It was also a prompt fill that I haven't yet gone back to revise and fix up. One day I may get around to writing the revised version.
The other that I find disappointing is Consoled By Pity, a 500+ word ficlet which is a five more minutes extension to the final scene of Grass, a Taggart ep, after Robbie tells Jackie “You don't believe that and neither do I.” Although it deals with several key events in the episode, I feel that there is a little something lacking from the R/J dynamic that although I can't quite put my finger on what would improve it.
