Not only did Boomer women create fanfiction and lay the groundwork for the evolution of zones into Ao3, they also invented mpreg, sex pollen, and their fascination with Pon'farr set the stage for Supernatural fans to invent a/b/o.
Thank you for your service!
I think the things that stuck with me and held my interest in waves over the years were
-The myth of the "unsinkable" ship sinking on its maiden voyage
-The scale of life lost versus those saved
-The luxury
-The human stories. Ex-Ida Strauss refusing to get into the lifeboat to die w/her husband
Where are my other Titanic kids at? How old were you when you became obsessed? Was there anything special that sparked your interest?
I was 7 when the wreckage was discovered in 85. It was all over the news. Suddenly there were Titanic kids books etc. Here I am 40 years later watching the new doc.
How did I graduate from 3k chapters to 5/6k to 10k chapters over the course of 16 chapters of a fanfic?

How I torment my HS Junior.
They had to read The Gatsby and HATED it... Hence this text.
I want the baby dragon!
Who's old enough to remember Buddy Christ from Dogma?
I need to show my kids that movie.
For me, writing fanfiction is not just fun for fun's sake.
It allowed me to grow and experiment in a low/no stakes environment.
Rebuilding my audience after a five year absence will take time. But due to my growth as a writer I know they'll consume a longer, better structured, stronger book.
When I wrote my four solo titles, I struggled to write keep momentum in a 25-35k word book. Lab Rats is 40k and reaching that was like running a marathon.
During the last 5 years I wrote a lot of fanfic. Over the past 3 years I finished a 100k fic, and am nearly 100k but only ~halfway into another.
Here are our two new babies...
Kiri is the gray tabby
Dosa is the fluffy calico
They're one year old as of 2ish weeks ago.
Rebuilding my online presence and brand is going to be painful given that it's been 4 years since I published anything.
The time off was necessary, privating my blog along with deleting my X and FB accounts felt right at the time, but ooof
I have such a strong urge to go back and "fix" everything I've ever published. But also to write at least two books plus my ongoing fanfic. AND to write the stories and books that are just out of reach.
Why must I sleep?
One of the reasons I love writing fanfic is that it has helped build my writing muscles. When I put out my four books I couldn't manage anything beyond 50k words.
But...
From 2022-2024 I wrote a 105k DabiHawks story
I started a Hazbin Hotel LuciferxReader in 2024. It will be over 200k by the end
"Renewal" was my first professionally published story. The anthology's theme is what happens when a couple has been together for a while.
My youngest was less than a year old, so my story of reconnecting with your partner post kids was intensely personal.

Like many nerds, I'm a sucker for the story of Persephone and Hades. My story, "Season's Change" is a sweet, romantic take on how their relationship develops, and why Persephone isn't allowed to stay in the Underworld for the entire year.

What if you can time travel by living long enough to change the future of your ex husband, who is newly born? And what happens when a member of the Temporal Authority finds herself tangled in her family's past and future?

"For the Love of Snow White" is narrated by the "evil stepmother." Her story and strong maternal connection with Snow White is set against a psuedo-Xtian takeover of pagans.
TW-attempted (unsuccessful) incest. But as the review says it makes sense w/in the story.

One of my favorite stories, and something I've considered expanding to a full novel is "Dumped," about a unicorn's virgin who is fired for the crime of turning 30. After being attacked she woke up chained & clothed to be sacrificed. So...that's how her day is going.

Did you know that male reindeer lose their antlers in the fall, which means Santa's team are all female?
That inspired "The North Pole Chronicles," a series of sweet romances about Santa's lesbian shapeshifting reindeer.
