Oh, me too, absolutely.

One of the reasons the story I just finished was so hard to write was...I was working from a (small) written description of an imaginary visual fandom. And the characters came in written forms, shapes--graspable, which is why I started writing them. But the world and a lot of the action felt closer to a visual fandom--that is, to the imaginary show my source was describing--and I struggled mightily with it. (And with a number of other things; I've just spent two days and a lot of words going back and forth with my first beta reader, and...it's better, but I'm still not sure where I am on the line between "doesn't work at all" and "doesn't work for this reader" with some of the things I'm trying to do. Or, I suppose, how much it matters; this is as 5000-word episode tag for an imaginary fandom that was supposed to be an excuse for Teh Sex and somehow developed a story-shape and a lot of other things going on around (and in) the smut.)
