Haha. Isn't that always the case with me? ^.^; I'm very bad at being concise, and my fics tend to grow to mammoth proportions. I've been wanting to write an AiKai piece of some length, though. I want to write a RanKai one too, but... Well, maybe this will work out if I write it correctly or maybe there will be some portion of it that I can work into an acceptable entry.
Thanks, Addy. You've probably heard me say this a dozen times before, but I just feel like everyone else writes these really neat, plot-driven stories, and all I've got is another relationship/romance fic planned. -.-; I know you guys have told me that my genre is valid and that I write relationships well, but...I don't know. I still always feel like my stuff is inferior. I'm getting away from thinking that it's downright bad, but I still can't see it as being as good as everyone else's work. Thank you for your support, though. I really do appreciate it, even though I have such a hard time believing in myself.

At least you can write romance/relationship. I try and it ends up turning into weird things. *sigh*

Thanks, guys. I'm really glad you like it. Seriously. I just need to keep working on liking it myself and convincing myself that it's as good as everyone else's.

Bwahahaha! I have my almighty outline, and I'm really excited for this AiKai fic! ^o^ Only I already have three thousand words written, and Kaito and Haibara haven't even met yet, so there's no way I'm going to be able to wrap this up in eight thousand words for the Haunted contest. Oh well. Maybe I'll just use some cross section of it, though I'm wondering if the two being haunted by their romantic pasts comes across strong enough to qualify for the "Haunted" theme. :/ Hmmm.
Still. Thanks a bunch for bouncing ideas around with me last night guys! It was super helpful in getting me to cement my thoughts.

Someone once told me "You can have two of the following: cheap, fast, quality". I'm afraid my writing is the first two, and I'd much rather have some of the quality that people like you and Tal possess. ^.^;
But yeah. I don't know how I write that fast. It doesn't feel particularly fast to me, but everyone else seems to think so. ^.^;

I don't think your writing is "cheap". I think you just have an impressive ability to bust out thousands of words, haha. It takes me so long to write chapters (and just stories in general) these days, and I don't even make them as long as I used to.

Mine take days to write unless I'm bitten in the a$$ with inspiration, then it's a few hours-long marathon that leaves me dead the next day. I'm amazed you can churn out as many words as you do, frankly. And I agree with boogum, your writing isn't "cheap". It's a different style with a different focus, that's all.

Thanks as always, guys. Sorry I'm always so down on my own writing. I just can't make myself like it or think that it's as good as other people's.

Honestly, I think we all have those moments. For me, I stopped judging my writing so harshly when I finally accepted my "style". I still write stuff and cringe, of course, but I'm much happier with my writing overall.

You shouldn't hate your stories, Cesela, because the ideas behind them are crazy genius. I'm always amazed whenever I read them through, and I'm so pleased that I can help out.
