So yeah, I just posted my 100th fic on AO3. Happy New Year. 

This means that I’ve posted 190,845 words this year, all but about 8k since August 1. 

Before this year I hadn’t written fanfiction in about fifteen years. I just have to say how much I appreciate each and every one of you that reads my stuff. You’re all amazing.

You’ve made me feel welcome in this community and helped me rediscover a passion. Thank you.

Fanfiction isn’t generally this is what I see happening in this book/on this show/in this movie.* You don’t need to keep telling us that that’s not what it’s about, or that’s not what we’re doing here. We know that, actually! You’re not doing it, that’s…

I wasn’t going to post anymore on this subject, but I will post this one. I don’t have much to add except this is excellent and worth the read.

And as a fanfic writer, yes I write as an exploration of possibilities. I mean I write in Superwood and I know that will never ever be anything but imagination.

Sometimes I write as an exploration of fandom too. My more recent omegaverse story was me saying “okay these characters, this universe as a background, what if THIS happens.

And it’s helped me grow as a writer to play and explore and tweak templates and see where characters lead.

does anyone else suddenly get hit with flashes of dialogue or scenery or characterization that would be perfect to use if you actually had a plot you could incorporate it into

All the fucking time.
