LJ Idol Presents:

I'm not sure I stayed in Exhibit A long enough to be cast in any sort of role. In Season 8, though, I became one of the people known for doing lots and lots of serial fiction. I think people also knew me as one of those "creative idea" people who has an interesting brain. People seemed to think I had neat ideas, so that was cool -- I didn't mind being thought of as someone who had "quirky" writing.

I also did some deliberate self-pigeonholing when I wrote almost ALL fiction in Season 8 (except for, like, three pieces total) because I just way prefer fiction over nonfiction. I like how I relate to the audience through fiction better. The nonfiction I did in Season 8 had to be a bit of a surprise, too. I did mostly okay with it (got through the Gatekeepers on a nonfiction piece!), though one of the pieces I wrote the week I got eliminated was nonfiction.
