Venting

Just finished my fic for spnopera and I'm in agony. This is torture, I say, PURE torture! Why did I do this to myself? How can I write something with such a blatantly sad ending? I always try to leave things open-ended, the possibility just beyond the end of the story that maybe, MAYBE this time, something good will come out of the pain and sorrow and TRAGEDY of these boys' lives! This was supposed to be FUN, damn it! Now everybody's gonna hate me when they read it and I don't blame them. Me too! Wahhhhhh!

This is NOT anyone's fault but my own, needless to say; the wonderful mods of this challenge are fabulous people and extremely talented writers, so I have only myself to blame for my own misery. I hope I've learned my lesson and next time I'll choose a comedy (Marriage of Figaro, maybe?) I just like the aria so much and I couldn't resist the thing with the hair *sigh*. I'm doomed.

Dude I felt the exact same way, I was cringing at the things I did to my characters, but angst has it's place in fandom :D

Dude, I LOVE your spnopera piece! You devastated me with that fic! I was too shaken up to even post a comment, and I NEVER do that, so. Okay, now I know I'm on a sad-fic kick. Maybe because I can't read or write this way in the winter? Oh, whatever.

Glad you liked it! :-D Samson is such a great opera, did you listen to the whole thing or just the dungeon aria? You gonna post your fic soon or are you doing art as well?

Actually, it's the other aria, the one Delilah sings outside her tent after making Samson fall for her. I think the English translation is "My Heart Opens to Your Voice" (with Samson singing "Je t'aime" in the background --- arghh!) Such a tear-jerker!

And oh yes! I intend to post this week, as soon as I proof this monster one more time!
