celticdragonflyI just wrote fanfic. Dear me.
You fanficcers on my flist? This is totally your fault. You know who you are.
Well, it's also![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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!

Re: My ha'penny of advice...
Date: 2005-06-07 08:21 pm (UTC)Basically, we issue a challenge at the beginning (ish) of each month. all fandoms welcome, all styles, all ratings, art is welcome ... and a friendly soft crowd hangs out there. 8-)
Specific pairing communities are *always* good for cross posting and don't forget to post here in your own journal as well.
