![]() ![]() I’ve spent a number of years being battered by both the legacy of academia and my attempts to write for theatre. With each story, I felt more confident, more at home writing again. I was genuinely writing these stories for me, and if one other person liked it, took something from it, that was enough.įor me, it was about the process of writing them. Each time a handful of people liked them. Some about nothing, some very much about something. Story after story- some really short, some longer. It’s a story about how I steadily continued to write stories, and a few people like them, they left comments, they said nice things. This isn’t a story about becoming the coolest person in the fandom, that fic writer everyone worships. So I shared that story not thinking anyone would care. On the rare occasions, I have produced it’s been equally quietly in a corner. I’ve never played the fandom game, I’ve never done whatever it is that makes you a ‘Big Name Fan’ I’ve usually stayed out of the way, enjoying a gif or two and minding my business. Or it can truly be about nothing at all, just a need to hang out with some familiar characters a little more. It’s about the tiniest detail expanded on, or the smallest moment and what it means. That’s what I love about fanfiction, it’s about nothing and everything. And lots of thoughts and feelings, and was about nothing at all and everything. Outside of that world, it was silly and trivial- it involved crisps and a hangover, oh and a dress. I wrote that story for the reason anyone writes fanfiction- a bit of extra story was stuck in my head and I wanted to get it out. I’d spent a couple of days writing a story in my head and in between other things at the weekend, I wrote it down and decided to share it. ![]() I posted some fanfiction on a well-known fanfiction site. A year ago I did a thing I thought I was done with forever.
