Questions for my watchers. (or any passer by)

General
So, there are a few things I would like to know and/or have an opinion on. Some of this may take a bit of explaining.
First off, you may have noticed a few of my recent works have taken to more adult oriented themes when I can't move forward on Agrok's tale. does this change anything about the way you view my work as a whole, and if so, how?
Second on this list, you may have noticed i started actually doing other things if i can't move forward on my primary work (like this awaiting review of the current chapter), do you all prefer this or would you all rather see my creative energies saved for Agrok's unfolding story?
Number three, i have nothing against people who write fanfiction, particularly the people who do it well in a ay that preserves the spirit and laid out nature of the characters involved. However, I have not run into a fanfiction that hasn't flown off into left field on how characters behave and how they portray their very natures. Most of them come across as a bit disrespectful to the original basis, and that is why i stopped reading fanfics quite a long time ago. there are some good ones and I give props to those who do it well. I hate the idea of writing a fanfiction even more than reading one though, pre-determined character quirks and an existing foundation that can't be molded too much without breaking it? sounds like home work from back in the day to me. but I have had an idea for a fanfic that I have shared with my mate and one or two close friends. there is a bit of pressure to actually write it for the challenge of writing a shorter story than normal, and for honing skills against a firm foundation to create my own tale from it. You've all seen my stuff (unless you're visiting at random, if so, go take a look already!), do you feel I have it in me to do this and do it right? Even if I do, should I do it, with two stories already in the works and set for long term development?
Last on my list; i don't hear a lot from anyone on anything I do, not even from my friends and family (yes I even have to shake family down almost physically to hear what they have to say about my writing), is it because I just seem unapproachable or personally boring?
Please do answer these burning questions, this gryphon key slinger would greatly appreciate it!

I don't think it changes anything even you're doing a few more adult oriented works.
As for the fanfic thing, I feel you are capable of doing it, yes. However, whether you should or not is kind of up to you. If anything it could be a good exercise in keeping characters true to themselves, even if you never show it to anyone.
As for the last thing, I really would like to give you more input, however I really don't have a lot of time to sit down and read something. I'm honestly quite behind on reading your stuff, something I'm sorry for. So yeah, for me it's just an issue of time.
