Hee, yep, Star Wars and Star Trek were some of my first fandoms too! The ironic thing is that one of the reasons I glommed onto fanfic so hard when I first found it on the internet is that it was stories that didn't focus on romance but things like h/c, which was so much more my jam. It wasn't that I wanted plot instead; I loved character-driven stories with strong emotions and feels, it's just that a lot of romance didn't give me those. And then slowly I came around to it, sometimes, but not really the smut.
Which is why it's so weird writing it, because I don't really have any idea how effective it is? For a lot of my fic, I at least know I'm liking what I write, and stuff I love personally tends to get good reactions from people who like similar things. While writing smut is flying blind for me ^^;;
Guardian will be here if/when you ever have time for it ^^ (and I probably will bounce back to it even if I drift, it has the feeling of a forever fandom. And, not to push it, but there are a lot of Saiyuki fans in Guardian, with good reason, as the main stars could definitely be fancast as Gojyo and Hakkai...!)
(We're all doing okay, if stressed...hope you are all managing as well, stay safe! *hugs*)
