Figured I Had To Start Sometime
I've found a very unfavorable feeling when searching the web for fanfiction is that sinking feeling - when the search seems to have come to a fruitless end. When I've gone through a good two or three google pages, looked for communities, scavenged through threads involving similar stuff, and come up short. I hate that.
Because then I start feeling as though the only way I'm going to ever see the possible story lines that I know are out there for every good fandom/ship is if I write them myself.
And I never get around to doing that. Procrastination = me. Look at how long it took me to even write in this thing. Geez. And I had a traumatic week in entertainment just splayed over my computer and tv screens waiting for me to comment. Which I might do sometime. Maybe. Hopefully.
And then I'll get around to writing those amazing fanfictions I've got in my head.
The ones where I don't sound like a crap writer. Where dialogue sounds like two people conversing in a meaningful way for the story, and not just some stupid lines that me the author thinks is funny but doesn't go anywhere - and makes my word count completely misrepresented.
Btw, I'm feeling a need to start listing what I consider to be notable good and bad qualities in fanfiction at some point (Procrastination alert!) Because there needs to be some kind of quality qualifier. So people out there know that their work needs some work.
But I'm just being judgemental now. And is it hypocritical of me to even be typing this when I haven't even posted anything I've ever written. That I've never published (online mind you) a single piece for the rest of the world to see. Does 'hypocritical' ring true as a description of me? Probs yes. Who knows? (I DO! I DO!)
So maybe now that I've got this thing I'll just post what I've got saved away on a hidden file somewhere. After some major edits of course. Because, why not? What's the point of writng these for me? I've already got them in MY head. And it seems pretty obvious to me that this world wide web could always use a bit more fanfiction.
Just one more person for the world, scribbling away my precious little thoughts.
