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.

Me too. I write on the bus all the time. Walking to and from the bus stop, too. Luckily I have a very, very good memory for scenes I write in my head. I can even remember the ones I write in my head before falling asleep!
Are these different Glee fics, or is it one big one you're working on? I would read Glee fic by you, even though I don't know Glee. I've saved several ones you've linked to to read.
I'm working on right now that has me to the point of finding going to work or hanging out with friends absolutely torturous, because allllllllllll I want to do is write it. Also, I'm very impressed with myself regarding it, and am pretty sure I'm overlooking its essential flaw (no plot) just because I'm in luuuuuuuuurve. It's actually somewhat stressful, how much I like it.
