Question for writers

[fathomlessspite]

Is it narcissistic to re-read your own fic when writing a sequel/new instalment?  Or is it good practice??  What do the writers on my flist do?

I find that all too often a story I am loving the heck out of and is hitting my buttons will end up going in a direction other than what I'd have preferred - so that I can enjoy the first half but not the second, or something. Which is still a well-written story, but disappointing because the first part was doing so well with my particular buttons then leaves me unsatisfied. As it were. ;-)

So at least when I write it myself, I can make the story continue hitting my buttons!

Exactly :)
