maple – is there a hobby / skill that you’ve always wanted to try but never did?

Oh, a lot. I’d like to play the violin. Sometimes I want to try various kinds of dancing – like highland dancing or flamenco – but I know I’d suck at them… I’ve never had very good coordination. There are some languages I wish I knew (Russian, Arabic, Ancient Greek) or wish I knew better (German!, Hebrew).

Thanks for asking!

Fic writer meme: 23. :)

Thanks for asking!

23. If you were to revise one of your older fics from start to finish, which would it be and why?
Oh god… well, the only fic that’s long enough for the phrase “from start to finish” to seem appropriate is The Abyss Gazes Also, and since I started it 2 and a half years ago, there are, as you can imagine, some bits that I’m not completely happy with… but it isn’t actually finished, so maybe the question isn’t applicable 😛  Anyway, I don’t think I’d want to work on revising it until I finish it.

The one whose quality I’m most dissatisfied with – and readers concur, judging by the fact that people going through the entire series and leaving kudos on the fics in order are most likely to skip leaving kudos on that one – is The Paradox of Desire. I’m not really sure what to do about it, though. Maybe the idea just wasn’t that great.
