I feel like I rushed into things when I published my first story (Isapus), and so I took it down to rewrite it. Who knows when it will come back? But for right now, I'm just researching grammar, inspiration, character development - how to's basically.

S/N - Today is the 2 year anniversary of mine and my boyfraand!

I sucked it up and published my first fanfiction. Sweet Baby Jesus, have mercy on my soul

30 August 2017

The urge to write fanfiction is there. Ideas, plots, character designs - it's all floating around in my noodle.

Then I grow apprehensive; anxious; downright scared. Will I be able to stomach the flames? Criticism? What if someone steals my story (if it's good enough for that)?

There is the optimistic side of me. You'll be okay. Ignore the flames. It's just strangers over the internet. You won't know until you try. Basically, attempts to convince myself it'll be fine.

However, there exist people in this world who can easily make death threats over a story. I always found that mindboggling that someone took the time to type out, "kill yourself." How can people not realize the strength of words; how controlling words can be? Someone literally put their imagination out there, only to have it shot down ruthlessly. Constructive criticism is one thing, but when you start insulting the writer...

Also, writers here are of all ages. You could be flaming an 11-year old, and for anyone who is an adult - we all understand the emotional/self-esteem/puberty issues at that age. So, telling a child such crass things...

Now, I'm going on a rant. Nonetheless, I'm not sure if/when I'll be mentally prepared to ever post my own stories.
