Okay, I'm going to let you know a little bit more about me. Here goes!
I am a fanfiction writer. It's one of the ways I show appreciation for my fandom. I've been writing fanfiction, whether in fingerpaint, crayon, pencil, pen, or typewritten, for quite a long time. I had always fantasized being with my favorite characters, be it Barney the Dinosaur or Legolas from The Lord of the Rings. Of course, I didn't know that what I was doing was fanfiction, until I turned 10. I learned about sites that took fanfiction, and I decided to take the challenge of writing fanfiction, and having people actually read it. The reviews, few but encouraging (and no flames, thank goodness!), helped me build my self-confidence as a writer. And I'm still ongoing with that, but at a slower pace, since I need to concentrate on my studies and other priorities a lot more now.
I write all sorts of fandoms, but my favorites to write about is The Lord of the Rings (doh), Harry Potter, some anime (I was never consistent with this; Rurouni Kenshin was the one I did the most anime work on, I guess), and CATS (the video/musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber, not the book [sorry, T.S. Elliot]). More to come, hopefully!
I also specialize in specific genres of fanfiction. I'm good at romance, angst, and... okay, you may be shocked at this, but... I am a good writer at slash. Yes, slash (if you are not familiar with this, slash is homosexuality *unaware reader gasps*). I do LOTR, HP, and Cats slash. ^.^ Do not kill me, please, it's fanfiction, anything's possible!
Basically, you can see that I am very into fanfiction. It is very challenging & fascinating to see what you can write, and also a helpful & fun way to hone your writing skills. Go and try... it's a lot of fun!
