An apology, a fic, and a question.
Sep. 5th, 2006 10:31 am...The other possibility for this past weekend was to go completely MIA and not respond to posts or comments at all. In fact, that's what I'd originally written at the end of Friday's post, but figured that if I said I'd be disappearing I'd actually end up hanging around LJ far too much, so I warned you about that instead. Oh well. Those replies will be coming eventually.
For those of you who may be interested and haven't seen it already, I posted a quick House/Wilson friendship fic yesterday that I wrote while on break from the
slashfest one. It's in the "Five Things..." format and it's called "Four Times James Wilson Heard Gregory House Play the Piano (And One Time He Didn't)." It's one of the shortest stories I've ever written and also boasts the longest title.
And now, a question for all you writers out there:
Have you ever wondered what your reaction would be if it were somehow possible to read a story you wrote as if you hadn't written it -- as if it were someone else's? I mean, if you could write a fic and then have the memory of it erased and then come across it for the first time? Would it be like reading the ideal story and you'd be head-over-heels in love with the phrasing and premise and characterization and be moved by the emotion(s) depicted? Does it depend on the particular fic we're talking about?
