Suddenly, I seem to have lost all desire to write Zutara fanfic.


I really have no idea why, because about eight months ago I was suddenly fully re-immersed in the Avatar fandom, and even as few as four months ago was writing in it prolifically. So what happened, self???

I mean, it could have to do with a number of things...the fact that I've re-watched Death Note recently (and re-read, in the case of its prequel, Another Note), and am currently writing fic for it. (Will be posting a link to death_note and dn_het when I've got the first two chapters done.)

There's also the fact that I received so much encouragement and positive feedback on resuscitating my WHR fic, Hieros Gamos, that I'm more than excited to continue it after I've gotten some headway on my DN fic.

But it also could be the fact that J and I are super-busy at the moment, and don't seem to have the time I used to for juggling more than one fandom simultaneously. We're not engaged yet, but we're discussing marriage options (mostly relating to the Chinese aspects: +/- banquet, +/- tea ceremony, that kind of thing), we're looking at real estate, and we're - gasp - trying to get pregnant. All at the same time, it seems.

Hooo, boy.

well that's a giant frickin' lot on one plate. It'll all come back around. It would be sad if not but you gotta do what ya feel.

And yay death note! Just sort of started streaming that.

Babies change everything. That's pretty certain.

I just started and haven't gotten to the ladies yet. But I do dig the boys.

This too shall pass ...

Well. I suppose I've felt some sense of futility in my Zutaran works. People are drifting away from their story, into new fandoms and obsessions. Despite what everyone may believe LOVE doesn't last forever. It fades ... or events 'remove' one of the lovers ...
I think the thing that keeps me drawing them is the need to finish the project I started ... AND the scarce feedback that still trickles in even after all this time. You are my favorite Zutaran Smutfic writer of all time. <3 So, I am grateful for your contributions to my beloved fandom. (and I'm pleased they will live on even after your interests have moved elsewhere, so new fans can enjoy them.) The whole thing is just so sad. But I will still look back on aspects of it fondly. Most importantly Zuko and Katara's love story MOVED ME to draw after many years. For that I'll be eternally thankful. Through the Zutaran fandom I also met so many interesting people. And I felt like we all stood stronger together. But it could just be my wonky perceptions ... I did think for a time that Zuko and Katara might actually get together, so perhaps my perceptions are not the best. :) But I am glad I 'met' you and was able to read your writing. And I hope someday to read more ...

I was sort of getting into DEATHNOTE at one point but ... I drifted away ... I liked L. losing him ... I lost some interest. But perhaps your fiction would make me revisit it. :)

As for your personal life ...

Congratulations! :) (on all fronts!)

And my best wishes for your extreme happiness! ^____^

Wow, i just first wanted to say that i think you are awesome ^-^ i just read your penance series and i freakin loved it. Never have i read Zutara smexiness as smexy as your work.

Secondly i would like to say that i am kinda a newbie here even though i signed up here a few years ago i haven't been on except for lately. I find myself at the spot that you were at 8 months ago, totally re-immersing myself into the fandom of zutara. I stumbled onto capslock_Zutara which then led me to you ^-^ Anyways just wanted to say i think you're cool and would like to very much add you. Also i think its awesome that you and your bf are trying to have a baby. Their little bundles of joy and i wish you both the best of luck with that and your future wedding plans =] Please add me. Thanks.
