My love of affair with writing...
Some people have said that falling for a fandom is a lot like falling in love. This is true for me: I can't stop myself from smiling; I think about it all the time; everything I see and feel and experience, I connect to that fandom; it's the place my brain goes when I'm not doing anything else; it turns me on; I want to talk about it all the time; I probably think that song is about it. So, I definitely, definitely have felt this way for a fandom.
What I want to know is, have you ever felt that way for a fic you are writing? I've felt that way for fics I have read--one or two have even become fandoms for me. However, I have also felt this way sometimes about a fic that I myself am writing, and . . . it feels a little awkward, a little self-involved, and yet for a little piece of time, it's the only thing in my world, and going to work gets very hard, because all I want to do is lie in bed all day andmake love to it write it.
I felt that way about The Chuck Writes Story. I felt that way a little bit for The Boy Who Only Lives Twice--though that was really only a sustained crush, because I was in the middle of breaking up with The Chuck Writes Story when I wrote that one. I started writing a fic today and it felt like love at first sight--that happy, world-shaking feeling that you've met the one, the "I can spend my life with you!" feeling. When it's over, of course, I'll feel differently.
I just wanted to know whether I'm the only one.
