It never fails.

You put your heart and soul into a fic, it gets maybe three pieces of feedback. You get hit by a savage bunny, you write the thing in ten minutes. Cue half a tonne of feedback, especially if it's something scary like Dick Grayson meets the Fab Five.

Why, God, why???????????????

We're artistes, dammit! Stuck in garrets pouring out our hearts and souls into our *art* and all the masses want is shallow, cheap and cheerful stuff! The PAIN! The TRAUMA!
