Re: Do you default because you want your recip to have a better fic?

[(Anonymous)]

I've won some contests and still sometimes feel some uncertainty in my writing. (I've lost more contests. Contests usually only have one to three winners so a lot of people will lose more than win.)

What helps me when I feel somewhat uncertain with my writing is canon review - having the characters/world more fresh in my mind helps boost my confidence in writing. Also I sometimes do unrelated to Yuletide fic of the characters of the fandom - sometimes finishing an unrelated no pressure fic (or even just starting one) helps me get inspiration for the prompts I have to fulfill. Maybe that may help?
