Well, as you know I'm a Snape/Lucius, Lucius/Sirius and Lucius/Draco writer... and yeah, feedback isn't that common. I can agree with ine commenter though. Often the feedback I do get tends to be a lot more than OMG!!11!SQUEEEE!!!!!1URITESOGUD!!11!!!!!!!eleventyone! I have received some absolutely wonderful (and ego-boosting) feedback on the one Jonathan Harker/Dracula fic I have posted for example. And yes, getting that kind of FB gives a feeling of Yay! for a while. But it's not the reason I write a story or a pairing. If it was, I'd be writing loads more Snape/Lupin because even the tiniest thing about them I've written has received more FB... or the recent Harry/Sirius. I was staring at aff.net when I saw it had 216 hits after 24 hours. Still no FB though, MWAHAHAHHAHHA!
I write the pairings that feel relevant to me, the story that bites me and tells me it needs to be written. I love it when a plot won't let go and inspiration really hits. There's no time then to think about whether this is a popular pairing or not, if anyone will read or how much feedback I'll get. I just need to write it, and I love doing it. It's a joy.
SO, fuck the masses! Severus/Lucius is Teh Hawt! *hopes for more well-written Luverus*
