🍀 what is your comfort show/series and why is it your comfort show? How has it helped you?
So I have two for different reasons, I’ll explain now.
Morning:
Wildcards – it’s a Candian show about a con woman and a cop that got 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s fun, quirky, written well and the subtly of some details is just perfect. They are spot on with continuity.
Why I watch:
I get terrible morning anxiety and it helps me regulate. Usually I’m up at 5.30am/6am and the first thing I do is get a bottle of water, put the show on and start writing my next story. Within an hour I’m usually pretty chill and ready to face the day.
Bedtime:
Brooklyn 99 – I put this on my phone everytime I’m starting to drop off. It’s funny, interesting and there’s something very soothing about Andy Samberg.
Why I watch:
My ADHD brain doesn’t do well with quiet, so having it on at a low volume in the background helps me fall asleep. I don’t even watch more than the intro and I’m away.
🍇 a word your friends would use to describe you
Organised.
That defo comes from managing my ADHD.
✏️ when did you start writing fanfic
I grew up in the age before the internet was a big thing, so we didn’t even have a computer in the house. It just wasn’t a thing. I think I remember being about 8 and hand writing The Bill stories (This was a British Cop TV Show I used to watch with my granddad.
After that when I was about 15 I remember hand writing Sailor Moon stories – again the internet wasn’t a huge thing at that time. We basically used it to buy books off Play.com because Amazon wasn’t a thing either.
At 18 was my artist friend was on DevArt and was like why don’t you post your writing on the internet and I was like who the fuck would read it. He explained fanfiction to me and showed me FF.net. That summer I ended up writing a CSI Miami fic and posting it and was pleasantly surprised.
