Also they're using my hotel to shoot movie scenes.

I just took AO3's survey thanks to a link from beren_writesAs Beren mentions it does take a few minutes but it's interesting.

If you use AO3 or enjoy any part of OTW take a minute for the survey.


I took the OTW Community Survey!

Okay,  between finding out my old ff.net  site is still up and also discovering the artist who did all the really amazing artwork for me during that time's e-mail address.  More like rediscovering, there have been 2 e-mail account moves and 3 computer changes (it's been that long yes . . . shhhh) along with this year being my 10th year on LJ, alot has been coming together  to say maybe I should return to fanfiction.

I wrote a number of stories in anime fandoms which is where my fannish life began and a few things in live - action fandoms. I started writing fanfiction my last year of college.  It's what helped me get over a really bad case of writers block. A two-year case where I had ideas and wasn't getting much of anything finished and as an english major on a creative writing track that is bad.  The long piece I was working on "Slayers in Dreamland" I worked on for my english literature final project until my teacher changed the rules on the project and I could submit it but that's another story. 

Fanfiction helped me hugely as a writer and the reviews I got from people helped me stay motivated and sharpen my skills.  I stopped writing fanfiction when I realized I needed to spend the time I was writing fanfic on original stories.  Writing fanfiction had given me what I needed to be a writer at a time when I needed it the most.  it's one of the reasons I love fandom so much.  Since I stppped writing fanfiction I've published some of my short stories, done freelancing and worked for newspapers and hey I've got a novel happening now and fandom and fanfiction gave me a place where I could feel safe and have support while I moved into a place where I could thrive creatively.  I am always grateful for that, always.

As I mentioned, I've got short stories and a novel I'm working on but I love having multiple projects on the fire because it keeps me going and makes me feel productive.  If I get stuck on someting in one story I move to another ans through working on the second I usually sort out what may be bugging me about the first. The small fandoms that I've been enjoying lately have been knocking on my brain, especially Inception and The Eagle.and I've been on the fence about taking that on but feel like everything is saying I really should jump back into the pool since it was really fun and amazing the last time around.

I randomly googled myself today and discovere the ff.net account that I thought I deleted years ago is still up and running.  It was interesting trying to remember my old e-mail address and password.  it's a good thing that all the stories I had posted were finished.  And what's really cool I had some really nice reviews waiting form me.  They were a few years old but I figure it is never too late to say thank you for a nice review.

Having a very geeky conversation with my brother about technology, politics, and food production. The cool thing about family get-togethers is how geeky all of us are. At some point we'll be getting into a sci-fi discussion.

My great-aunt is hosting Easter this year. I made pasta salad to contribute to the feeding frenzy that is my relatives at holiday meals. Right now and i'm at a pit stop at my grandfathers. My uncles making cabbage and he's setting a side a portion for me before he adds in the ham. It promises to be a interetsing easter dinner.
