Finding What You Never Knew Was Lost (original) (raw)

For 100 Musings on Writing Fanfiction my thoughts on writing in one of my favorite genres (by all rights I should do one of these posts for the angst genre at some point).

Post number four in 100 Musings on Writing Fanfiction.
This question "Why write fanfiction?" and the variants "Why not write to be published? Why don't you write something that's yours?" have been popping up all over in my life lately, so I thought I'd give a shot to answering why I've devoted so much of my time and energy into writing fanfiction.

For my third post on 100 Musings on Writing Fanfiction I talk about my complicated relationship with outlining (okay, it's not really that complicated) and a scene that almost made it into a fic I'm writing, but thankfully did not.

Also, I feel like some kind of very odd journalist interviewing myself or something. Yay?

For my second post in 100 Musings on Writing Fanfiction I've attempted to summarize my fanfiction writing activities over the past 16 years. Warning, there are some hilariously juvenile excerpts from fanfiction I wrote about 10 years ago under the cut.

So, first, I've signed up to do The One Hundred Things Blogging Challenge (thanks to race_the_ace for the link).

My subject matter is 100 Musings on Writing Fanfiction. This will range from thoughts one individual stories that I'm working on/have written, to the writing process, how writing fanfiction changes my experience of the world, and other aspects of fanfiction in general.

Without further ado (under a cut to save your flists)...
