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

...when you don't feel bad about hopping fandoms or eras in SW in your present fruitful season.

 

....when DamnYouAutocorrect gives you an idea for a crack!fic.

 

...when writing reviews can be as fun as writing fics from time to time.

 

...when, after making a flippant remark about giving your characters a “white picket fence and a dog”, you wonder what the GFFA equivalent is, because you totally want to use it....

 

...when you feel super-charged writing impromptu fics because of nummies you read earlier -- (Reading L/M is totally inspiring)
... when reading fics that are like Hallmark Movie sweet, you JUST HAVE to post something as sweet !!!

 

... when your female OCs tell you that there needs to be an equal balance of romance stories to action/adventure stories in your fanon

 

... when profic books you read, like about various cultures or biographies, etc., you hope will generate bunnies to tweak and SW-ify.

... when you do NOT need a specific fic-gift exchange to write fic-gifts up

... when you realize NOTHING will or ever could dethrone your SW or Trek OTPs

 

...when writing something Hallmark movie sweet sounds like a challenge. Like a real challenge. Are you challenging me?

 

When you read this and think “YES! THE FLUFFY MUSH CHALLENGE WE NEED THIS!”

 

Happy wriggles!!! What started this all was a delightful thing by -thor with L/M and toddler Ben, followed by Ridley Solo's amazing Matter of Time update.

 

MUSH! MUSH!

 

Now, that's just crazy talk. You guys totally misunderstood me. I meant it would be true challenge for me to enter saccharin world of syrupy sweetness. My teeth would hurt. There would be sores in my mouth. I might have to swear off sweetness indefinitely if I took such a plunge. When I say challenge, I mean it would be really hard. Toche Station hard. Kill my dad hard. Second Death Star Run hard. Get me?

 

There certainly was: Monday Mush Mania. Though it wasn't every week, it was every month or two, usually. It was a fun challenge! The last host of it hasn't been on in awhile so if someone wanted to restart it, let us know!

 

.....hmmmm.

 

FACT!!!!

And I will be a CONSTANT participant

 

...you realise that you're A LOT like Mara Jade. O_O

 

(double post)

 

... when you look back over your past stories and see just how close your Jedi characters all came to turning to the Dark Side - and now you want to see what would happen if they were pushed right over the line.

 

...when a challenge is just that, something to make you stop and think and devise a plan of attack. When your first response is @Findswoman: What the what?

 

...you want to write a love story set in, I dunno, droid heaven.

 

...you suddenly want to write mush for a character you never thought you'd write mush for.

 

Let the guessing games begin!

Edit: Guess - Jyn Erso?

...when you look at your latest Character Interview response and have a strange sense of deja vu. Did you post something similar in the past or did you have a dream premonition of that post?
