So! I saw that one of your posts said that you were okay with people asking you random questions.
SO I HAVE ARRIVED. ahem So, I see that you have some big fanfics in the works. I have not read them yet, but they are on my 'to read' list!
So my questions to you are... When did you start writing fanfiction? Did you have any inspiration for your stories? Have you ever written a purely self-indulgent fic? (those are fun) {noticed you have art as well} Do you enjoy making fanart or writing more?
You don't have to answer all of these, lol. Just some honest questions for ya!
Hmm, let's see here. I do have quite a few big fanfics, yes!
- I started writing fanfiction... honestly, I want to say that I was effectively writing fanfiction when I was like, 13. Maybe earlier, honestly. It wasn't stuff I published necessarily (I did publish some early stuff, but it's since been deleted; the oldest fic I have published is from 2011) but it was definitely fanfiction. It's been well over 10 years since I started writing fanfiction. I stopped writing specifically fanfiction for a while and was into more detailed role play, which is essentially the same thing.
- Inspiration for me usually comes from other media. The #NarutoCrimeAU comes from my love of procedural crime dramas like Criminal Minds, NCIS, How To Get Away With Murder (more recently), The Mentalist, Bones, etc. I would say Bones was the biggest inspiration for the crime AU though, since it started with Sasuke and Sakura.
- For self-indulgent fics... maybe? I don't really know. I write what I like in general, and my story goes... how I want it to, I guess. Maybe the closest is any of my NejiTen fics because I never wanted him to die, so... yeah. There's that, lol.
- I don't really consider my stuff fanart so much as I consider them fan edits. I'd say I greatly prefer fanfiction, but I sort of go in phases where I'll do a bunch of graphical/artsy things, then I'll go hard on fanfiction. Just depends what I'm feeling in all honesty.
I hope this answered all of your questions! Feel free to send more if you want to know more!
