And now for a whole new level of dorkiness. It's my first art in ages and it's inspired from fanfiction

S/J of course It's incredibly sketchy and maybe a WIP if I manage to get my hands on a working tablet pen >_> I know the objects on the table have no apparent shade o_O I guess I should have to finish this at some point

Fic in question http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4286828/...s_in_This_Town (it's the 2nd in the DC series)

Hope you like it

I was just reading a fanfic and it made me think of the scenes that I just can't write. Perhaps they're shortcomings as a writer or maybe I just haven't found my mojo in those areas or maybe it's just that we can't be good at everything.

I confess - I can't write a wedding scene. It's the fluffiness of it. Hell, I wasn't even fluffy at my own wedding (I have a picture of me getting all my bridesmaids to hike up their dresses with me and show off their legs... I called my husband before the wedding on my cell and reminded him that this was permanent and this was his last chance to back out - he just laughed at me... he knew he wanted to marry me before we'd even met... sap...).

The other scene I struggle with is the proposal scene - I can do it, but again, it's devoid of fluffiness. I think the only one I've written Jack's like "so... wanna make it official?" - no rings, no candelight dinner... LOL

And my third issue is action. I LOVE action in tv. For some odd reason it just doesn't hold the same excitement in writing.

(and on an OT S/J fanfic note - I suck at writing Teal'c scenes. I always struggle with him...)

What do you guys hate/struggle with writing??

**Linda06** · 14 October 2009, 11:06 AM

Very nice Jitter

GUYS....You have gotta read this fic, major Sam whumpage and lots of chapters but it's a great fic. I was so hooked on it

...I can't write those either

And I can't write gutter

But I'm all about the fluff!

I don't really do "romantic" and for me each and every story has to have some *meaning* to it or I refuse to write it

Don't ask why...lol

And AWWW! At your hubby

That's really cute!

And the other thing I hate is writing scenes with a whole bunch of people (like SG-1 in S10, because there's Jack, Sam, Cam, Vala, Daniel, Tealc...) I can't focus on all those at once!

Edit- I like it Jitter, Sam looks the most real I think

Hmm, well apparently I'm not bad at fluff, if my ficlets are anything to go by.

As for weddings... you sound not unlike me. I wanted to wear jeans and Doc Martens to my wedding, under the dress but, uh, it was only three quarter length in the end so I couldn't really get away with it. I'm not really into the fluffy wedding scenario for Sam and Jack either, which is why I find the whole 200 wedding scene such a giggle. It's the antithesis of what Sam and Jack's wedding would really be like IMO, and the writers knew that too.

I did, however, manage to sort of write a "proposal scene as I'd see it (sort of) for Valenship this year:

How Sam & Jack Got Engaged

Action scenes... hmm I think they're really hard to do well. Sally Malcolm does an excellent job of them in her Matter of Honour and Cost Of Honor books. I've rarely ever read a fanfic that does them that well though.

I don't think not being able to write a certain style/scene is a weakness in writing as such; I think it's just a case of writing to your strengths. If you don't do fluff or action but do fantastic angst or gutter then, heck, yes, stick with that. You can always try it out and see how you get on but don't beat yourself up writing stuff you're not comfortable with because it will come across in the writing.
