-hugs again- Honey I decided when I first started writing fanfic that was I wasn't writing it for anyone but myself. Not that I don't want people to like it - of course that's always wonderful and I love making people happy - but I found myself prefectly miserable when I put my happiness into the hands of other people's opinions.
I only now have taken on Ella (who rocks my socks) as a beta because my own inabiluty to conjure proper grammar and spelling has begun to annoy ME. All the fics I've written I have written for me and I let the poor readers suffer my typos. If they liked it enough to suffer, great, but if not...I was still happy.
My darling darling Lois, if your writing makes you happy - that is the end of the conversation. We all evolve..I mean heck I have a beta now and I'm trying to actually learn what a preposition is, but don't let any one else's opinion of your work rob you of the joy of it. It stops being fun then and then it stops being worth it.
Your writing is just lovely! I've thoroughly enjoyed everything of yours I've written. You and Nissa are a fine wine in this fandom, getting better with ever story.
Don't worry about losing your edge. And if you do come to me and I shall sharpen you and encourage you. But please don't worry and for goodness sakes don't be ashemed.
LOL. Wow. I'm so friggin windy. -loves you-
P.S There is a MK manip on my page. Nothing special but it comes with a funny little ditty you may enjoy.
