I'm part of a group and have asked for you to be added! (It's the usual cdrama gang 😆) I've done actual NaNo a few times but never tried the other challenges... Keeping my wordcount nice and manageable for now. (I have words, I just need to be at my computer to add them... Have been too busy today! I'm so envious of people who have more free time now 😝)

And yeah, it can be very interesting to try to write something you don't like; in my case it's usually just to see what exactly it is that I usually don't like about it, and how I can make it work for me.

Yes, that's always an interesting challenge! Sometimes it's not even that I don't like something, but that what I like about it doesn't seem to be quite the same as for other people, so I'll be trying to zero in on that element that I haven't seen focused on as much as I wanted (that was the whole deal for the pon farr fic, as it's a scenario I've always been into, and I like a lot of variations of it but I hadn't read the one I most wanted...)

Thanks for the link, looking forward to checking it out (when or if I get the time to read again 😅) Eroica has never been a major fandom of mine but it's one I enjoy popping into now and again...

And BTW, by "third person POV" I meant "third party/outside POV", argh. *headdesk*

Hah I totally read it that way, I didn't even notice what you'd actually written!
