Question of the Day Part 5
mare:
I never really let how I feel about people become a factor in if I read their stuff or not. It's more about what they write then who they are. If I think you are the bees knees but only write Mpregs about NKOTB I'll love you but never read anything you write, but then again I'd never lead you to believe I would either.
If I think you are a big flaming bitch from hell but you write the best suspense in the world, I'll read it and love it and even review it (which I admit can be hard sometimes) because it's about the story not about the person. LOL
You're not always going to be able to please everyone. Sometimes people aren't going to like you just because the stars aren't aligned. Sometimes it's something you said once in passing without even meaning the people you upset, but other times it's because you're legitimately unlikable, whatever the case, it shouldn't really effect whether or not people read your stuff. I do think it's a matter of taste.
I know my total honesty when it comes to my likes and dislikes can be off putting to many people but again, it's who I am. I'd rather be blatantly honest about my opinions than pretentious and end up stabbing people in the back. That's not everyone's cup of tea and that's fine but don't avoid my stories because of that, avoid my stories because you don't like the style or because you've tried to read my stuff and you thought it sucked. LOL

For the fairytale question, I'd pick Beauty & The Beast as I love the Disney film and the story. I like how Belle doesn't just fall for Gaston like all the other girls do, and instead of being terrified of the beast, she actually gets to know him and love him for who he is. It's the ultimate fairytale for me :)
Carter-Orange:
A genre I like reading but don't think I'd write very well is medical drama. I love Julie's stories like Broken, Curtain Call and Secrets of the Heart, but could never write anything like that because I wouldn't be able to put the detail or believability into it that she does.
I'm not sure I have a writing niche as I like to give anything a go (I think that was a question I missed).

^ Thanks Steph! And I think you're right about your niche or lack thereof - you're one of the most diverse writers on here! You can write anything!
