My own fandom fixes
I'm sad to say this, but I'm seriously tired of supplying my own fandom fixes.
What I mean is, I'm tired that I seem to be the only serious Byakuya/Yoruichi fan, that I seem to be one of the few fangirls who don't squee over yaoi or am sick of seeing the same ByaRen crap over and over - When I want to read a Byakuya/Yoruichi fanfiction...I have to read my own. I can't go anywhere on Bleach related sites without fangirls squealing over "omg Byakuya and Renji r ttly in wub" (or whatever other yaoi pairing) and I'm tired of having to defend my views on het. I know I'm certainly not the only person who feels this way...but the people who do are in the minority, it seems.
I guess this comes with the territory of having an unusual OTP, but still. I'm tired of being "in the mood" for some ByaYoru fanworks and having to supply my own. Same goes for Byakuya fanworks that don't either pair him up with Renji or make him out to be a total asshole XD though thankfully I don't see him portrayed as a cold, unfeeling block of ice much anymore. In the few instances where I can find him in fic where he isn't with Renji, that is.
I think that's a big reason why my inspiration is so low lately...if I could get inspired by OTHER fanworks it would prompt me to write more, and while I sometimes DO get inspired (you all know who you are!) it's not enough to have to make my own stuff all the time. I dunno. There's my whine for the day.
