lanalucyPairings: Have you ever gone outside your comfort zone and written a pairing you liked, but found you couldn't write, or a pairing you didn't like, and found you could?
I've found pairings I don't necessarily enjoy writing, but so far, none that I just couldn't if I tried. Sometimes it takes me a while to get them talking in my head, or I need the right perspective/person from which to approach. My betas have been good about giving me help in that area when I needed it.
I have gone way out of my comfort zone and written pairings that squicked me: Kara/Bill, Kara/Saul, Kara/Cain, Kara/Dee, even some Kara/Sam, though that's more a dislike of the pairing than a squick.
Basically, it takes someone in my head saying, "Ew, gross. No!" and the muse perks up and says, "Oh, yeah? Well, watch this, bitch!" lol Like Kara, my muse never met a dare she wouldn't take.
