	There we have it, ladies and gentlemen. That is why any person
should write: because he/she _wants_ to. For himself. Or herself. Gosh, I
hate PC....

Heh heh ^_^
Hows about the writer writes what the writer wants to write? Ooh.
Alliteration... 

	It's nice to be noticed when you write stuff. Heck, my ego's
become bloated over the past few months. But that shouldn't be why you
write. You should be writing because _you enjoy it_. Reader reaction
should truly be secondary. Okay, maybe you also want to make some sort of
point, but there we go again--it's something _you_ want to be doing. 

Definitely! Why write if you don't want to? No point... *sigh* Editing is a
b**ch, when you've written as many weird things as I have, tho... god, I've
got like 30 pieces I haven't sent to RAAC... =P

I

wrote NGEjd primarily because I liked the characters too much to let them
off to the terrible end that Anno gave them. It just wasn't nice....

What, you don't like the movies? Man.. evas abound =P

	I mean, for example, look at "Monica/Akira-chan". She writes many
stories about YYH and Bronze/Zetsuai...

*blink* ^_^
Wow. Someone remembers me! Haven't posted in a long time.. 
Actually, I've only done a few YYH/Bronze... my focus seems to be just
_obscure_ or unknown series and such, as well as CLAMP stuffs ^_^

I have yet to see any public C&C on

it. (And I don't do it, 'cos I just don't know those series.) But she
still continues to write her stories. 

*nod*
Well, i write becaue I want to/have to. something catches my eye/attention,
and so... 
Right now, I'm contemplating a few GWing Fics (Wufei! Good lord... and
Trowa/Quatre) as well as a Rurouken Fic, and never mind all the charas
bouncing about my head ^_^;; /me shoves Justy and Ushio out the door...
(NO! I won't write when I've only seen 2 Justy mangas and 6 Ushio mangas...
darn it! =P)

Maybe, maybe she does get some

private email comments--enough to keep her spirits up on how it's being
received. And I admit, when you get _zero_ response, it's rather
disheartening. But that's not why you should write or not write.

Heehee... is this a good thing or a bad thing that I'm brought up in a
"writers should persevere without any notice" thread? =P

Actually, I get a few comments here and there... the beauties of being on
nth #s of mls that are specialized...
