Discussion You Know You're a Fan Fiction Writer When...

…your new OC’s best friend decides she needs her turn to introduce herself.
…you know you’re a fan artist, when you have to draw them both.

 

...you feel kind of empty after typing the "The End" of a long story.

 

...your OCs decide to throw a party on a whim and want you to record it >_>

 

I'm an enabler - do it.

 

My OCs can be somewhat weird sometimes, but they are my weirdos and I love them

 

I’m hoping my best friend will leave a comment on Ronen’s journal first....

 

YKYAFFWW you need fanfic to heal from the sudden loss.

Same here.

You mean, your ENABLER?

Seriously, reading this makes me feel all fluffy. And I love everything and anything fluffy.

 

...when you try to make progress on any of three different projects and your muse says and and .

 

...when you touch the Dark Side after the longest living Sith Lord in your fanon asks you to help him with research, so he can reanimate the spirit of his beloved Dark Lady of the Sith...

 

Stop teasing us with bits of your fic. I'll sing to you.

 

I promise I will start uploading them soon EP

 

And I promise I'll catch up soon. Been having some weird, weird days.

YKYAFFW your fanfic palZ comfort you and write you a story. <3 <3 <3

 

When you get more focused on editing past chapters than on writing new ones.

 

YKYAFFWW you were distracted by the cute twice within a fortnight and during that period, your Goats wrote or updated a total of seven things. Yikes!

 

...when your RPG OC demands! her own story and it JUST HAS to be a mash-up of YUM! because Kyp Durron is gonna be in it

 

. . . your curiosity over politics in Star Wars suddenly piques again because once again you're curious whether or not the fact that Bail Organa was married to Queen Breha of Alderaan would be a conflict of interests or run the danger of them collaborating to do X or give advanced warnings to coming shifts in government policies etc and all the thoughts that go with it and the whirl of possibilities.

 

YKYAFFWW when in some unexpected slack time you review old fic files secreted in an old folder from Old Fandom, look for New Fandom fic ideas in them and then ,,, delete

 

...it eventually occurs to you that a yacht from c2003, that your protagonist will have to explore, might still be around, and it occurs to you to see if Youtube has any videos for it.

You marvel over the extra richness and detail that you were not getting from the promotional stills, that you can potentially include when this gets written.

 

YKYAFFWW you need to rework your main OC a bit in latter chapters, because her personality type should be the same as yours...

...and then you realise her dynamics with her significant other will be EVEN BETTER.

 

YKYAFFWW an old Original Character of yours comes back and demands that her epic adventure-laden life as a Padawan, Knight and Master finally be written down and documented, after you put it on the backburner for so many years due to university study and life in general.

*glares at a certain Neti Jedi Peacekeeper* uggghhhhh.... *sighs*

 

Oh? A certain one from Legacy? PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

 

... when it's been a week and...nothing.

...when you wonder if a drought is approaching.

 

Not quite EP, but my Neti certainly does know the one of you are thinking of - they have fought side by side a few times

 

Maybe your muse is a cousin of mine?

I found this little guy on Pixabay (free image that can be downloaded and changed) and I think he's a pefect image of my muse. A bit curious and a somewhat terrified of what he has started. (Besides, the Norwegian word for mouse is "mus" so he's not totally out of place.)
