WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 26 -- Wednesday

[linaewen]

Greetings on Wednesday!  What kind of a writing day has it been so far today?

• I thought about my fic once or twice
• I wrote
• I did some planning and/or research
• I edited
• I've sent my fic off to my beta
• I posted today!
• I'm taking a break
• I did something else that I'll talk about in a comment

For Discussion:  What got you started writing fic?

I'll be concentrating on writing for work rather than on fic today, but it still counts as writing, I guess!  What got me started writing was getting involved in an online community related to my favorite fandom where others were sharing some of their thoughts in the form of discussion as well as fanfic, and I was inspired to put some of what I wished had been written (but wasn't) into writing for myself.  Then I shared it in the community, and that got the ball rolling.  :-)

I got started writing fanfic when I was 15 after my best friend (who's still my best friend almost 13 years later!) showed me a DBZ fanfic she printed out (was it porny? of course! cuz what else do 15 year olds read online? lol). My first fic was a femslashy Outlaw Star fic. 8D Been writing (primarily femslashy) fanfic ever since!
