That's the only one I've written "recently" that has made it far enough to actually get posted before I started second-guessing it, but of course I have started stories or at least written down ideas that I haven't done anything with. And there are several stories I wrote back in the day that I look at now and go, "Now why did I think that was a good idea??"

Poor shot in the head, Kevin. :( lol

Do you write the kind of stories you prefer to read?
Is there a type of story you like to read, but don't write?
Have you ever written a story that you would probably never read?

I do write the kind of stories I like to read, which are mainly medical dramas.
I also love suspense, but I don't write much of it anymore. I have tried, and most of my attempts have not turned out very good. I just struggle with that genre for some reason, which is sad because I really love it, as do a lot of other readers!
I know I would never click on 00Carter if I weren't a part of writing it. The spy stuff doesn't interest me, and I don't read a lot of comedy fanfic, unless we're talking those old-school parodies that just made fun of the Boys. But of course, by judging it by its cover, I would be missing out on a very entertaining story! ;) Other than that, I would probably read everything I've written, as long as I had some idea of what it was about going in.

Oooh, I like medical dramas too and I would never write one because of the same reasons Erika mentioned but I'm also kind of picky with those too.

Do you have someone else beta read them? Or do you do it yourself or do you not bother at all and just wing it?

I edit the best that i can. Which is why I write the chapters on paper and then when I type them I edit as i type. Probably a bad idea but I have no one else to read them for me before I post them. Art used to but then he quit. He probably got tried of reading about Nick lol.

I do all of the editing myself. The only person who knows that I write fanfic is my husband, and his grammar skills are disastrous so he would be no help to my anyways. LOL
Like Mare, I probably read a chapter obsessively before I post it. However, that probably leads me to miss a bunch of little things because you tend not to see your mistakes the more you read things over.
