Pig In A Post Day!

Today is Tuesday, so I’m making a post. I’m going to try to keep up this ‘Pig In A Post’ thing, where I make a post every Tuesday, as it helps me keep on my journaling. And also it is a clever name, shut up

I'm glad you have an awesome therapist who's into fannish stuff as well, that must be really cool. I was too shy to tell my therapist about my fan girl life.

I hope you had a good new years!! I posted a great Hobbit cartoon on tumblr recently that made me think of you. I also got a lord of the rings hoody, it's all the fellowship as cats, it is awesome.

Anyway, I hope you are well

*hugs*

I was too shy to tell my therapist about my fan girl life.

I didn't plan on it! I figured if she asked about hobbies I would just say what I normally say when I don't want to bother to explain it and that is 'Oh, I write short stories. I'm in a writing forum online where we all share our work. It's cool because writing is my hobby and now I have a way to make it a social thing too!" This gets social workers off my back about needing a hobby and needing a social life, since I am mostly homebound and such. But I was complaining about never knowing what to say at family parties when people ask what I've been up to and I said, "Oh, like what, do they want to hear about the story I am writing about The Avengers, I don't think so!" and then I moved on, but I noticed she made a face and I thought, 'Oh no, she thought that was a weird thing for me to be doing.' But like five minutes later she went, "So when you mentioned the Avengers story, I thought, wait, she writes fanfic!" And my counselor called it fanfic so I knew she was one of

I love when you discover another fangirl.

It's great having people that when they ask what you've been doing you can just tell the whole truth, like yep I've been writing about hot dudes getting together

OMG, that's so awesome!! Same thing happened with me and my sister. I discovered fanfic and was telling her all about it - 'oh people write stories about hobbits!' and going on and on explaining it to her and then a few months later she gave me a fic she wrote and when I was like, "Omg, this is so good," she took me to the computer and showed me...she had a website! She'd been in fandom for years, starting with The X-Files. By this time she had begun to write and was into hobbits and I had actually read one of her fics already and it was like one of my fav fics and I was like, "Wait, you're Baylor?! I love you!" For real.

Everyone knows about my original stuff now, everyone who matters. My mum's an old school Catholic lady, but she brags about it, she was at the hairdressers today and she told all the

I bet when you were telling your sister about fanfic she was laughing inside thinking yep, I know what that is lol, it must be awesome that you are both in fandom, and share fandoms, that you both write. You can share fic, and I bet neither of you get annoyed when the other hides away writing
