I'm one of those fanfic writers who likes feedback, particularly the kind that is thoughtful and focuses on my fuck ups and things that could improve my work, but I don't need it to keep writing. I've written tons of stories that get no attention at all and I love them to pieces. For me, fanfic is about me writing things I want to see happen to characters I love. Just simple stories I want to see told.
One of my girlier traits is being fucking fickle. I flit from one fandom and one ship to another with very little loyalty at that. I don't tend to have OTP's. I'll pair a character I like with several different people if it suits my fancy. All it takes is decent chemistry, good characters, and something inexplicable for me to be drawn to a new focus for fanfic. Lately I've been drawn to Bianca and Reese on All My Children which is my longtime soap opera obsession. Spoilers have hinted this couple is doomed in a very huge and insulting way.
I'm almost positive if they are doomed I won't have the drive to finish my huge backstory for them about how they hooked up. Just because it seems sort of futile to write something long and lovely and fluffy romantic in a lot of ways for a couple that is dead in the water and becomes that way in such a manner that is thoroughly insulting and screws over Bianca yet again.
My question is for the people who read said fanfic. Do you feel the same? I mean, would you really want to keep reading a flufftastic romantic piece for Bianca and Reese if all the horrible spoilers do happen and their relationship ends up in utter shambles? I'm curious but I will be honest, your responses, whether they're negative or positive won't effect if I keep writing the story or not. That's all about my own tiny attention span and willingness to keep pimping the couple after everything that goes down on the show.
And since I'm still fond of Reese please don't bash her in your responses. I refuse to blame Reese for all the fucked up shit the writers are having her do just like I refuse to blame Bianca for not asking Kendall's permission for her husband to be the sperm donor daddy of Gabrielle. I'm irrational like that.
In the meantime, I'll keep writing and waiting for all the horribleness from spoilers to ensue. I remain interested in writing my AMC/L Word crossover fanfic for Helena and Bianca no matter what happens.
As well as maybe a fanfic that occurs after Bianca exits the show and she becomes super bitter and cynical and just closed off to the world after being screwed over so many times and then Frankie arrives back from the dead.

I think I recall reading that fic too! They had a fling when Bette was in NYC, right? Hm. Bianca and Helena have so much in common it's crazy. That's why I love the idea of them together. Plus they would be so good to each other given their horrible romantic histories. They would know how great they had it with each other and wouldn't ruin things.
Dude, Helena so tops. lol. Though I think Bianca would get some topping time in. Helena has been shown to let others take charge now and again and Bianca does have some topping instincts. I think Helena would be a huge change for Bianca in the fact she would be really expressive in her desire and attraction towards Bianca.
Thing is, I don't want Jenny to die and I don't want to deal with Kinks combusting so I would have to retcon the fic so it takes place after S5 for L Word and Bianca never meets Reese in Paris. I wonder if that would be a cop out though.
