Jul. 2nd, 2009 05:35 pmWell, I am incredibly depressed now.
$250,000 for off-the-record interviews with the Obama administration, Washington Post staff and lobbyists at the PUBLISHER'S HOUSE.
FML. Can my industry plz to be stop self-destructing now?
In other news, I think I figured out where my clash is with much of fandom. They want hot or cutesy romance. I want want a describe as a "biting, scratching, clawing" kind of love between characters. I don't do cute when I write. I do fucked up. Het or slash. It's what I live for. I get that many couples are sickeningly sappy or talk to each other with such delightful terms as "baby." Or teenagers that call each other "fiance" (exception being KKM). But it just doesn't do anything for me. It's too... domestic. I don't write characters to be domestic and d'awww, but to explore their psyches and emotions. And the best way you do that is to up the ante. Occasional fluff sure, but constant tension as well. I don't want my characters to be happy because when they're happy I AM BORED.
