Oh, I would never write something unless I thought I could get some joy out of it (sometimes I'm wrong, but that happens). And I don't tend to worry about it when I'm just selecting prompts someone's suggested, because I don't feel like the results are as much a gift story as they are for things like fic exchanges. But while I want to be known as an author with integrity, I don't want to be an author who's seen to disdain the wishes of her assignee. I find such a game pointless.

It says bad things about how jaded I am that I'm not surprised there are people out there who assign Richard and Alec strict top and bottom roles, doesn't it?

Damn it. SFWA threw me off my poetry bandwagon. I need to get back on it, and leave the jackasses to snort at each other.
