I stopped writing fanfiction for a few years because I felt like I was wasting myself. I started writing again when I realized that I am not one of the people who will change the world, and I still am not able to devote myself to fanfiction the way I used to.

I cannot wait to see what you come up with C:

What I live for, madame. *salutes*

great feeling, that.
you seem to me to have that literary wit and legit knowledge of what works and what doesn't... so once inspiration strikes you'll be well on your way to some damn good work.

Damn, thanks.
