@ fic authors what do you personally consider a successful fic? What’s the bar?

actually writing the fic down

I think part of getting better is complete ego death. Like you’re not above setting a timer for 5 minutes and focusing on a task. You’re not above doing a very simple 3 minute workout to start. You’re not above reading for 10 minutes a day when you first get out of your reading slump, even if you used to read for hours. You’re not above starting slow and then building up to where you want to be/where you once were. What you are above is total inertia. Doing something really is better than doing nothing. Radically accept where you are, radically accept your limits, and go from there. Don’t let your ego get in the way.

never forget your number one audience is yourself. if you're not having fun, then what's the point?

i love that margaret didn't get her "happy ending" with donald. yes, it was a classic rushed into war time marriage. but there are a lot of those on the show. but he was beneath her, and after the flush of new love she realized it and stood up for herself. for a woman to get divorced-at her own instigation-in 1952 and fight for her rights and then go on and reembrace her raw sexuality? to recommit herself to the army-her one true love-and become Major Maragret Houlihan, RN and not "hot lips" or "frank's girlfriend" or "mrs lieutenant colonel" is sure something to put on t.v. in the late 70s.
