Let me be openly honest about something here.
All of this stuff I create from any fandom are really just answers to a series of “what if” questions. Not once have I ever understood or implemented “headcanons” until several people I saw had taken their MC as their own OC and shaped an actual life with them.
So I tried my hand at it. I gave my main MC a name not entirely my own, despite the fact that I gave my own name to the MC because hey why not, and gave her a life that wasn’t entirely my own. I tried to fill in the blanks everyone keeps asking me because yes, there are blanks--but I don’t know how to answer them because I don’t know what else to give my OC. And then there came the day when I began to think more about my MC’s life than my own, and that was when things got...out of hand.
I lost sight of my goals, and ultimately my life. I began fantasizing so much I practically forgot what’s out there beyond the computer screen.
I’m not saying I’m forgetting Clara Xing-Hui Lin. But for the time being I might take some more time to develop her life as well as my own. Hopefully one day I’ll be able to answer the questions to both my life and hers, and see where everything takes me from there!
