This is what I find terribly difficult about writing "CC" fics. Yes, I'm a dreamer foremost and I definitely focus on Max and Liz in my stories. I'm also a candy, gazer and lamptrimmer, but it is sooo very hard to give equal time and energy to all of these couplings. They are all very dynamically different, and maybe it's just me but when I write a candy scene I find myself in a completely different frame of mind than when I write dreamer, gazer, etc. It's hard to switch back and forth and still keep my wits about me, lol.AlexEvans wrote:Anyway, it's really hard to do all four (counting K/T) couples justice in one fic. I write Gazer, I sometimes make M/M or K/T the shared focus but I know I can't squeeze four couples into one fic and do something meaningful with all of them.
Wow! I actually thought I kinda sucked at that... lol Thanks sweetie!Applebylicious wrote:Which is why I admire people like cardinalgirl and Deejonaise who can write these "CC" fics and give all the ships close to equal footing.
Huh? Your post is slightly hard to follow but nevermind.Stardance wrote:I can't help but wonder if because readers are so intrested in just Candy fics that they can't find or won't read others. Many CC stories also center on M&M. I mean I love Candy, but I was a dreamer the first time. I still am, but M&M's have so much too. I think I just wish the every couple could get the spot light. Sorry guys its late and I am lossing my mind slowly but surely. Keep up the good work.

P.S. I believe the reason other couples get focused on more is the "What if?" factor. What if A/I. What if K/T. What if there never was M/T, just M/L. I honestly think that Micheal and Maria had the strongest relationship.
Urrrgh I drew a blank as to what i was going to say, but I agree with you for the most part. But its hard to write in or be fair to all the couples otherwise what's the point to writing, no drama no story just my opinion as an author.girl afraid wrote:Huh?

I'll read any CC fic with a good candy storyline, but so many stories labelled 'CC' are M/L dominated with maybe two candy/stargazer scenes in the entire thing, so I'll only read dreamer, stargazer, etc fics if they've been recommended by one of my candy friends or if the story is by an author who I know is fair to all the characters/ships (like the previously mentioned cardinalgirl and Deejonaise, and I think Applebylicious does a great job on the non M/L characters too).
I totally agree with. I think that I, personally, don't have enough talent at writing to do all 4 couples without muddying the story (for you though, Applebylicious, I've read your stories and I certainly think you are a writer who could pull it off wonderfully!) It's just so hard to concentrate on all of the relationships and give each of them problems and have them grow as I couple. I don't know how some writers do itApplebylicious wrote: This is what I find terribly difficult about writing "CC" fics.
