With every fandom I've been involved in, I have always loved what would be considered a rare pair. If I am the only person on this earth who likes it, I still have to write it. I started writing slash when I had no one to share it with, so I really write for myself. Feedback is wonderful, but the desire to write is even greater than that. So if no one reads my stories or comments, it's okay because I still have to write them anyway. :) (I love Snape/Lucius. That is my favorite pairing in HP.)
