Oh, a fun meme.

If there is any question you would like to ask me about any one of my fics, then go ahead! What I meant by a particular line, why I chose that characterisation, what I was listening to as I wrote, what crack I was taking and where you can get some...anything. Anything you might like to know about how I wrote a fic, I shall do my best to answer.

I really hope other people'll write much better stories dealing with some of the same issues (not that I don't love a good snuggle-fest, but I don't think it'll ever be that uncomplicated without the two of them wading through a whole lot'a issues first -- and dark!fic aren't better really, usually more unrealistic. (Okay, okay, I'll stop ranting *winks*)
>>All I'll see is the little mistakes
Apparently you're either smarter or more self-discipled (or both *grins*) 'cause I just can't help obsessing over my old stuff. I keep telling myself ah, come on, move on with your life, let it go, but alas to no avail.
>>Which reminds me...
Hey, thanks for the heads up. You see, I have this insatiable appetite for feedback in any and all forms.

And I'm more than guilty of it myself, I know- I try to get around things by either setting stories much later in their relationship, or if I have to write a first-time, setting in in Tsuzuki's POV. In which I tell myself that surely Hisoka's thinking all sorts of traumatized things, even if the reader doesn't know it.
At some point, though, I'm going to have to write a first-time story that I actually like, if only for my own guilty conscience.
Yours, though, I adore. Whenever I need a history for them- not because it'll actually make a difference in the fic, but for my own mental stability- I think of it as something like that.
