Re: How did you start writing fic?

[purpleseas]

This is me. Part one of that trilogy was my first fic, and I wrote it in 2009, so I was 35. I started writing original stuff when I was about twelve. I write at least one word every day, lol. Sometimes I get really lazy and surly about it and don't get much done. My first fic actually started out as a prompt I left on a kink meme but decided to do myself, and then I wrote the second part while waiting for the series to end so I could see what I had to work with for my big otp fixit. I have no love for Lost beyond my otp and am more focused on original work these days, but I'll probably write a short Hannibal one in a bit because I've recently flipped my lid over Hannibal. My other big love is Supernatural, but I'm happy with canon and don't feel like there's anything I need to explore on my own, like with Lost, or a very particular kind of porn scene in a certain setting that I want to read, like with Hannibal. Short stories can be way harder than long ones, and it's nice to be able to stretch out and include every little observation and idea you have for a pairing or whatever over a nice novel-length piece, but I don't know, I prefer whichever length works for any given story. It can be hard to predict. I thought my whole trilogy thing was going to be about 20k when I started. XD

Somewhere in my late twenties, I developed a massive phobia about sharing my writing with anyone, so finally posting that first fic was really traumatic and a little nauseating, lol. I thought writing fic wasn't for me, either, and was in fact a huge snob about it for a long time, but the idea wouldn't leave me alone and I had a lot of encouragement from a friend. It's so worth just sucking it up and doing it, especially if you're thinking about writing a rarepair or some other thing that doesn't get much fic. At its height, there were maybe four of us writing Ben/Locke. Nobody else has done longfic for them, either, and my readers are still around after a year with no update. I get the best comments. :')
