I think I've forgotten how to write original fiction. I haven't really made up characters in a long time. I envy those who can. Eh, that's ok--fanfiction is artistically satisfying for me. I don't really need to make myself write original stuff, just so I can feel like I'm contributing something to the F.C., or to make myself feel like a real, serious writer. So I don't have anything I think is good enough even to submit to the Central Review. So what? So I'm never going to get published. So what? It should be enough that other people do, and can.

Here's a picture of me. [livejournal.com profile] vicfitz82 took it:

OMG. You have my hair from highschool. :) You are (as Daryn would put it) HELLA ADORABLE!!! :D

I think that's why I'm fighting the urge to write fanfic. I love my own characters too much to lose them. Also, I LOVE reading other's fanfic, but don't think I could "do it right." Maybe ever.

Again, you're adorable. I can't get over your adorability - factor 42 and rising! :D
