I think it's better when our ideas make us go beyond what we've built up as our limitations!
Good thought. Part of the reason I asked people for ficlet requests a couple months back was because I didn't want to get too stuck in a rut. I ended up doing an RPF for that, which I hadn't ever really thought to try, and I enjoyed it so much. And my Firefly ficlet was in response to that too. (It's done, by the way. I'll post it as soon as the friend I did it for gets back from vacation.) I don't think either of those is a fandom I'll write much in, but it was really fun trying something different.
And then, well, these two long hobbit fics I haven't posted any of, and the Faculty one I started today, those are just my own ideas, and I worry a little about offending people because there's random badness that doesn't come from anything in canon, is just there so I can pile up the angst and maybe that will bug some people but... Hey, if they don't like it they don't have to read. They should figure out pretty quickly what all three of them are about and not get sucked into a universe thinking it's going to be comfortable. So yeah, I'm just gonna write them and post them.
