Author has written 10 stories for Fruits Basket, and Naruto. Expect no more work from me, I'm only keeping my fanfic up here because some people still like to read it... And in a few years time I might like to look back on it as a fond thing I did, once. (Never know where you might end up in a few years). I know I said so before, but this time I'm serious. I'm nearly 18 (will be in '08), I started writing fanfiction when I was 15. It has kinda been an on and off thing... once a year I spout a couple of fics and then tune out again. I write original more often. I like original because it is my own personal work... My own characters who have a lot of me in them. Since I first started writing fanfiction the stages of mentality I have gone though are: childish enjoyment at people's responces; curiosity as to how I could manipulate the characters; and finally, seriously considering the technique of writing. I just finished senior highschool and took English Liturature, so obviously I came out the slightest big a better writer then before... if only because I have a better vocab. and pretty words always look good. And... I put a fic up here then realised: I don't want these people to think I'm the same person as the first or second stage of writing. I don't care if people don't review but if they do (right now) I don't want to hear about anything bar critisism for my work... constructive, that is. I want to become a better writer, and I believe that fanfiction is just as good a means of practicing as original fiction at times so why not? I'll continue writing fanfiction. Just not here. Debris of a Dream has been taken down from the site and you may see it if you befriend my LJ, which is now in friends lock. I doubt people will act on this message if they see it, but if they do friend my journal, either learn how to give a review or do not give one at all. Thank you and have a good day. |
