... There is no way to ask this that doesn't sound like fishing. Mostly because it is, in essence, largely just fishing. So. Let us admit that up front, and ask regardless.

I've gotten some comments on my stories, or my writing in general (and I apologise to those who made them, if this is overstepping bounds somewhat). Very wonderful comments, that some of my stories are good for bad days, or for helping people through things, or are just things people enjoy having. Which is ... *flaps hands* Um. A very wonderful thing to feel you have helped with, in however small a way.

I just ... am sometimes slightly confused as to how. *ducks sheepishly* I mean, I don't write fluff/feel-good that often, and I've written some spectacularly dark and violent things, and some just plain weird things, and a whole bunch of stuff just off the top of my head, and ...

Um. Yes. Slightly confused. So.

Um. Why? I think that's what I'm asking. What ... what do you find good about what I do? In general, I mean.

And, ah, I reserve the right to pull this post down at some future point, because it is just fishing, and, um, my conscience and/or my nerves will probably kick in soon. It's just ... a thing I've been wondering for a while, so. *ducks* My apologies.
