I hear you! It sucks to write something that you care about and not get much response. Like you say, it's hard to balance writing things that interest you and you can care about with things that people read--especially if, like me, a lot of the stuff you care enough to write isn't romance (especially not "first time" romance). But, for me, anyway, when I try to write things to people's expectations, they kind of suck....(witness my summergen story last year, which not even the recipient responded to--and well, that's just rude!).

(I love your writing, but I haven't read your BB because I haven't read any BBs--no time, and, frankly, barely reading SPN at all anymore, for a variety of reasons, including that I find the fandom outside my flist kind of toxic (see above re: summergen))

Anyway--just wanted to jump in and say, yes, there should be a forum where your writing is appreciated, and say thank you for continuing to write gen (and het)!
