My absolute favorite thing about writing fanfiction is the ability to start in media res. Like, no warm up, no need to set the scene, just, boom, go

It certainly speeds things up, to have all that worldbuilding done for you. I mean, I like characterization and world building...but, damn, it's nice to just go.

Long stories don't worry me, especially after MoF. Because I'm an outliner! I don't start writing until I know the whole shape of the story, sometimes even scene by scene. So it's just "time to write that next bullet point!" I do this writing my academic work, too, because I am bizarre. (I try to explain this technique to my students? They look at me like I am from outer space.)

Most sentences are oddly improved with the addition of "...and also vampirism."
