Post Recommendation


 
[personal profile] dunmurderin has some good thoughts about fanfic vs. original writing, their relationship to each other, and how she feels about writing.

Go Forth And Read!

Which is scary because like a lot of writers I'm horribly insecure about my own abilities. Fanfiction provides a scale against which I can measure myself -- did I stick close to the characters? Does what I wrote feel like it's at least in the spirit of the orginal? -- as well as a built in support group and no real worries because publishing is as simple as posting the fic somewhere.
