Is Fanfiction Over for Me?

[skinscript]

You know - this is a damned good question. I've said that I'm done with fanfiction an awful lot of times, and each time I've been wrong. Even retiring from admining NWP, I said 'that's it for fanfiction' - and I was wrong (as evidenced by Prisoners to the Dark).

I hope that's it for it, though. I like fanfiction - I like writing it, I like reading it. Mostly I like the reviews from it, of course - the constant feedback is fantastic.

So - am I done with fanfic? At the moment, I'd say - yeah. Yeah, I think I am.

Ask me again tomorrow.

Never fear. I won't ask.

I think we, the readers, take for granted that when we come across a fantastic story, the writer will continue to amuse us at no cost. Fan-fiction does cost: time, skill, energy. Reviews are great, but they aren't quite the same as "OMG my movie script is being made" or "AAAH! My novel is on the shelf". You have to strive, you have to dream, and you can't be held down by one medium/audience. You go girl!

(But feel free to return to your ficcie days when YOU want to :p)
