Its odd, I get tired of writing infirmary scenes sometimes, how many times can you describe all the stuff that happens? Yet, as a writer if I spent time on injuring someone, I like balancing the recovery which includes some of that nitty gritty stuff.
For now I keep things detailed but quick, quick quick. Like a few punches, like I did in "Ties That Bind".
For me its a paradox because even though I get tired of the infirmary writing I like to think I'm decent at it...and sometimes its fun. Could be the research nut in me :D
I asked the surgery scene question because I know I can write those, and it would be interesting. I used to write in the ER fandom where accuracy in such things was actually somewhat required..at least in the e-mail list where many were in that field, so it's occurred to me every once in a awhile to try one from Carons's POV.
If I ever did another long recovery fic, I don't think I could leave them with a disability even if it were realistic, it'd be a real recovery..but it'd be a full one...just detailed.(like my happy endings)
Anyhow this was just food for thought type stuff, two fics ahead of anything that might use this, but the early questions I was really curious about...if people enjoyed less or more.
