I still have to START watching Supernatural! It's one I plan on... and yes, mostly because Caradoc's PB is Jared Padalecki. But it's a show that everyone raves about and I don't really know why I didn't start watching it when it came out. Oh well. NetFlix will save me again!

I think RPs are a great tool for writers. You can sharpen your writing skills while learning to write quickly all the while surrounded by people who UNDERSTAND what it is that you're trying to accomplish. But the DRAMA! Oh, the DRAMA! I've been scared away from two RPs now and will most likely never return to another one. But I adore creating with someone else. That's too much a part of me to lose completely! It sounds like you guys have the same sort of thing going on over at the "island" - you don't have the drama, just all the fun!

I will admit that I write Ron/Hermione but I would say that's the only canon pairing I write without pressure. There's just too much fun to have elsewhere! Your Katie/Stewart stories are on my list to read soon! I'm HORRID at reading these days. If you ever have anything you want me to read, send me a message saying "READ THIS OR ELSE!" I'm much better when terrorized!

You know, the best way I can think to get into a new fandom (and none of them are as big or as welcoming as HP) is to pick a community that is active and just plunge in. I always go with drabbles because those are the easiest to write at first. You don't have to be as precise with your characterizations and you can experiment more easily.

If you find a good Supernatural community, let me know! I'll come stalk it until I understand how to write it!

And another good (and fun way) of getting into Supernatural would be to join on of the "land" communities. A lot of the people that I'm in whedonland are also in the Supernatural one as well. I have SO much fun on the one I joined. It's just a bunch of people who enjoy the shows and hang out, doing different things. At WL, we play a lot of games and I get to drabble to my hearts content! And I've made some friends so big plus!

Girl, I hear you on the RP drama. It was so bad this spring that I dreaded signing into the comm because I was so apprehensive about what might have been posted while I was away from the computer.

Jane (numbaby) writes over at spn_teamfic. Obvi, it's a team fic competition, with peeps writing for either Team Heaven, Team Hell, or Team Hunter. She writes for Team Hell, and is quite frankly amazing at it. (She also writes the Stewart to my Katie at our little haven *grins*)

I used to try and write Draco/Ginny, but I always felt so overwhelmed, especially in comparison to some of the BNFs in that particular fandom (whom I used to RP with as well), that I quit trying. I always felt my characterizations fell flat. >.<

And I'll try not to terrorize you into reading my stuff, but I am a bit of a feeback whore. It's true, I'll admit it. I love getting notifications in my Gmail that someone squeezed on something I wrote. Yes, am awful. So sue me. :D

I've never seen a Fic land community! How cool! These that I'm a part of are a combination of people which is cool because I can ask around for graphics!

I try VERY HARD not to compare myself to other fanfic writers because you'll never find a character or pairing you can write! Besides, most of the BNFs I know about aren't even around anymore. Or writing. Or they're famous and could care less about LJ. *sigh* Someday that will be me!
