Fanfic, the virus

[celticdragonfly]

I just wrote fanfic. Dear me.

You fanficcers on my flist? This is totally your fault. You know who you are.

Well, it's also selenite's fault, he's been slowly getting me over to the Browncoats board, where there was a challenge posted about Wash and Zoe's wedding vows. I thought that sounded neat, but of course I am no fanfic writer, I told him. So we went upstairs to bed, and I was telling him all sorts of things about it. Little things about how I think it would have happened, and why, and a few catchphrases. And I couldn't get it off my mind. 12:30 in the wee hours and I couldn't get it off my mind. He sent me downstairs again to start writing it. This morning it totally ate my brain and I finished it. He said to submit it to the challenge, so I did.

Now, I'm still not a fanficcer. 'Cause I can't write anything that requires plotting. But this didn't. So it was cool.

I'm such a geek, I don't think most people end up with footnotes/endnotes in their fanfic, either.

I need a really good Zoe/Wash icon at some point. EDIT: Got one. Need MORE!

So, are you going to post it in your own LJ or are we going to have to beg for the URL? I remember vividly that she did not think much of him at all when first they met.

I'm thinking I'll post it here and maybe crosspost it a couple of other places.

But first I have to figure out ratings, title, write a disclaimer, all this complicated hard stuff! Mostly I need a disclaimer. Too new to all this, I am.

It's from Wash's POV, so the stuff about how Zoe goes from being bothered by him to being Bothered by him, no, that's not in there, sorry.

Perfect for my icon

Or you can just pass it out to us eager readers. Who provide commentary, feedback, and suggestions. Maybe even a title, disclaimer, and ratings.

And/or, if you're really worried about it, post it with a lock and then you don't have to worry about it. We all know it's fanfic, and we all love you, and we'll think it's wonderful, and that's all there is to it, right?
