Fulfillment From Fanfic

[lettered]

Does writing fanfiction make you happy?

Of course it does. That's why you do it. If that's not why you do it, don't tell me.

But what I want to know is, is it a happy that staves off boredom and is entertaining, rather than a happy that makes you want to jump up and down and run in circles and smile all the time because you're secretly thinking of what you're going to write next? Is it the kind of happy that makes it so you can't wait to sit down in front of your computer so you can see what happens next? Is it the kind of happy that every once in a while makes you bursty feeling?

I hope it is.

I'm leery of writing post-Shanshu Angel, because I've loved a2zmom's so very much. But I'm going to give mine a shot to see what hapens. So, yeah!

I kept a character journal when I was inthe fandom_muses comm, which I've since left. I wrote Jack Hodgins there. I use that journal now when I'm in the mood to write "just Jack!" (hee) because it really is out of context of a fic ... just me getting my ya ya's out. If you want to look at it, you can go here (http://j-hodgins.livejournal.com/). I find it very relaxing and fun, and I don't feel as though I'm spamming every time I want him to say something.

I love a2z's too. I think definitely the best Shanshu Angel I've read.

And oh, cool. You've got a lot of writing going on, girl! That's so cool. Maybe I should start doing something like that one day. I get a lot of ideas I save in my head to put in stories, and sometimes they get lost. Looks like you've got great ways to just kinda let loose. I think I'm too uptight when I write.
