That's really what it's all about. Not enough drama and the story is boring. Too much and it's melodramatic and ridiculous, and this applies to the character's past, too. Did you find the fic you were looking for? I've been really lazy about getting them up over here, I'm afraid. mouse heat shock genes? I agree, wtf. But however you got here, I'm glad you came! Sorry about the insomnia. I could whack you with a frying pan, if you like. ;) Balance, yes. That’s really what it’s all about. Not enough drama and the story is boring.

If the most distressing thing in the whole story is someone's barbie getting lost during a move....uhm...wow? There's a fine balance between way to much drangst (drama/angst) and marysuism and actual character development...but it IS there... It's like the conversation I had with mom today, people who have nothing more to worry about than the fact that thier grass on thier lawn is over 1 1/2 inches long ( I once had a neighbor who went out every morning and spot measured all over her lawn....I am not kidding. I wanted to kill the bitch)or there are 13 leaves laying on the ground don't have a fucking LIFE.....If that's all I had to worry about...... (found you via, oh dear god, how DID I get here???? That's the internet for you....hmm....backtracking.....oh! You were mentioned as having a good weiss kruz fanfic somewhere on LJ's saiyuki_capslock comm, and I did a search and amidst many google things about mouse heat shock genes (wtf? No, really.) I sort of found your media miner page and from that found affnet and then this and.....um..yeah....sorry, working on my 149th hour without sleep, chronic insomnia bites.
