30 Day Fanfiction Meme, day 10!

10 – Pairings – Have you ever gone outside your comfort zone and written a pairing you liked, but found you couldn’t write, or a pairing you didn’t like, and found you could?

If I don't like how the writing is going for a ship, I won't post the fic. I'm pleased with all my shippy fics so far, though they are few in number! I can't think of any shippy fics I tried to write and gave up on. I have several in WIP stages, but those are on pause for lack of time or urgent write-me-now bunnies, not because I'm unhappy with how the words are flowing, shippy or otherwise.

The only ship I've written that I didn't already like was Giovanni/Heine in DOGS, my first Yuletide fic. And even then, I didn't really have an opinion about it, either way. I found I COULD write it--which was a relief, given it was for Yuletide! Thankfully the recipient had offered a gen out for their author, if wanted. It was comforting knowing I had that option, and that lessening of stress probably helped me pull the ship off. (And my recipient really liked the fic, too! Yay!)
