Discussion:

Apologies if this has been asked recently. What made you start writing fanfic? How long have you been writing it for? What keeps you writing it?

Wrote my arm (and back?) sore from writing in my notebook today. Did a tiny amount on my computer; basically expanded on some ideas. Finally submitted That One Piece to beta.


I think I started writing fanfic when I was around 14 or 15? I wrote furiously for a couple of years. Then came the time when I saw what I wrote and absolutely hated my own work. Cue years going by where I'd write, at most, twice a year. I'm trying to get back into it. Trying to shut out that part of my brain that tells me to stop writing -- because we don't need that part, do we. (How am I supposed to develop my skills if I don't write?)

No, you don't need that part of the brain. Muzzle it. :)
