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.

Second, I love Breese and even after their relationship gets shot to hell I'll still read their fics. After all that's what fan fiction is all about right? Many of the ships I sail either never existed like Harry Potter's Hermione/Fleur, or One Tree Hill's Brooke/Rachel but I find them more convincing as a couple than what the cannon couples are, if that even makes sense, and I continued to love One Life To Live's original Todd/Tea for two more years even after that craptastic deserted island storyline. Although I'm willing to give AMC the benefit of the doubt and stick to the show I'm desperately hoping that when Reese finally goes back to Paris Breese will patch things up. Until then I'm reading all of the Breese fics I can find and will gladly read the Helena/Binks fic when you post.

I think it's easier to write/read about couples that never exist than ones you see just get ruined. That's just me though.
At this point, I'm into the idea of writing the bitter Bianca fanfic I briefly outlined in a reply to this post if things go completely to shite on the show. Just because it would be somewhat satisfying. lol.
