Outlandish Creations
July 1-7: “So you’re a charmer, then? A creator?”
How exactly did you start creating, have you ever done this sort of thing before or was it Outlander that brought the best out of you? Share it all!
I started being a fangirl before I knew what fangirling is. I was 10 when I started having "fandoms" but it was only when I turned 14 when I really really started seriously exploring fandom and its creative outlets.
As well as many of you, I first discovered fanfics through ff.net. (I still have my dusty old account there - many "older" shows still have long running fics there that I check out from time to time) I never thought of myself "artistic" enough to be deemed a "creative" (art class is my lowest subject in school) but I knew I could write a few paragraphs and I got quite a few ideas and tend to over analyze situations - so after reading a few fanfics, I decided to have a go at it.
I only wrote a couple of one-shots for the Chuck, Castle and Psych Fandom (its in the ff account and super badly written, haha!) But it is only here in the Outlander fandom that I attempted to write a multi-chapter fic! I am thoroughly inspired by the creativity in this fandom that led me to do so. So far, I've done a couple of one-shots and have 3 (OMG!) WIP (Forever, To Begin Again and Arranged) multi-chapter fics story.
So thank you to all of you who continue to make fanfic and fanart - they are all amazing and beautiful, I read them all, I see them all. I aspire to be as good and creative as all of you in this fandom.❤
