Whump Fic Question

I'm stuck on a road block in this one chapter I'm writing so while I wait for the magic muse to come up with an answer, I thought. Hey let's have a poll. This is just for my personal interest in future projects.



[Poll #1098735]

As I said I'm on the fence. I co-wrote a CSI fic which was very heavy on the medical aspects of recovery and I like to read those and write them form time to time. In "Honor Bound" I tried to balance the need to move the plot forward while not skipping too much of what happened to Sheppard.

I like detailed medical stuff, I like to read them and write them...I just find trying for different creative ways of doing it daunting. I used to write in the ER fandom where it was expected at least on my e-group list to write accurate trauma scenes.

I'm a fan of one shots that are medical heavy, hence why I like to read your whump fics. Sometimes in a whump fic that's say an eppy tag, I eat up the type of drugs, tests and procedures, to me it adds realism. That why I liked your season 3 tags of whumpy fics..you stuck close to canon and you tried to stay realistic. Your POV jumps around a lot and that drives me crazy :-P But I still love it.

BTW you still have lots of opportunities for this season *hint hint*

This poll was just to get a gauze of people's feelings on trauma and ER scenes because as much as I like to write them, I find it difficult to keep them creative.

I'm seriously thinking of doing an all Doctor fic which would include surgery hence why I was curious about that.

Thanks for your input.
