fanficaversary
On September 10, 2009, I posted my first fanfic EVER!
Actually, I posted it to a different journal then, and a couple communities - I created this journal 4 days later, but I didn't repost it here until October 19.
Here is what I wrote one year ago today - Torn. I wrote it because I couldn't decide which pairing I liked more - Kirk/Spock or Kirk/McCoy...and I was like how could Jim decide?! And I wanted someone to write about, but no one did. So I was like, fuck this, and I wrote it. It was going to be a ficlet, then I went all minimalist and turned it into a drabble of exactly 100 words (the first drabble in Torn), which turned into a series of 10 drabbles, which turned into 10 chapters of 10 drabbles, for a total of 10,000 words as the series Beyond Measure.
The first installment kinda makes me cringe a little now, but I still love the story overall, and writing it was an awesome way to get into the Star Trek fandom, get addicted to writing (and feedback), and thereby seal my fate :-D
