Goal for 2013: Find the great writers, fav them, follow them and get inspired by them. What more can I say?

I'm finally onto my first fanfic. I mentioned that I was a champion procrastinator. Well, I'm also incredibly finicky about the details; details like grammar, spelling, punctuation and pronounciation (is it pronounciation, or pronunciation?) You see? It's not a good combo. Which means that once the seed of a story gets planted in my mind, I'll sit on it for months, dividing it into parts, agonizing over it, over whether the chapters are good enough, realistic enough, interesting enough...
God forbid there should be any grammatical goof-ups or spelling mistakes; even one misspelled word will ruin the whole paragraph for me.

Despite this caution, I still make mistakes. And then I get so fed up that I publish it anyway:-/ And then I'll edit and upload it again when I spot a slip. OCD much? Definitely XD Barring any mishaps or work commitments, most times I update regularly. More or less. I can't afford to get lazy, or the flow will be lost.

I also have a thing for badass couples; it doesn't matter if they are het, same-sex, transgender- whatever. I love and admire a relationship where both halves are equal and utterly kickass in their own way (Castle and Beckett come to mind; so does Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow in Iron Man) For that reason, I'm not attracted to the stereotyped yaoi depiction of a strong, dominant, badass, intelligent and cool seme with a soft, wide-eyed, submissive and beautiful emo uke, who needs his hero to get him out of every scrape. We all have moments of weakness and vulnerability when rescue is definitely needed, but always being the damsel-in-distress is not cute.

But that's just my opinion. Critics welcome. Trolls shouldn't waste their time on me. My treatment is simple: ignore-delete-block. It's easy to trash someone anonymously, and just as easy to ignore the faceless nasty. In my experience, real-world confrontations are a lot more painful.
