Do You Like Giftfic? (kbin.social)

I used to believe everyone did, but I know better. Some people don't like it from people they don't know. Others don't like receiving it from anyone at all. What do you think about it?

I personally like writing giftfic. I don't do it all the time, because if I did I would never write the stuff I like the most (as no one else writes the stories I really want). But how happy people have been when I have? Has always made it worth it.

Receiving it is always nice too. Especially when people have made the effort to write the specific tropes/pairings/whatever I love. After all, most of them are rare. It's always appreciated.

(kbin has eaten my comment twice so I'm rather done trying to sound like I know what I'm talking about)

Developing one's artstyle can very much be built on things you love to draw! My favourite Pokémon is Mew but how I draw its anatomy is based on my love of birds and sighthounds. Perhaps as you develop your skills, your houses can have structures and designs that echo things you love in your favourite cars and planes!

There is also to account for how you write your comic script. To ease what you have to draw, you can challenge how you write the story to avoid drawing things that take weeks to render as suppose to hours. Some franchises are easier to do this than others: I will never have to worry about having to write an excuse to why no one uses a car in Pokémon. Perhaps your stories end up adventurous and your characters end up living in cars or planes as they get to their next destination!
