Fanfiction. How I love you. And not just because you let me wallow in my favorite fandom, but because you're teaching me how to write, that I CAN write, that I can set up a schedule and crunch when the chips are down and create an outline but be flexible enough to change it, if need be. That I can work with an editor and take criticism. You're allowing me to prove to myself I have something to say. If I can write you, fanfiction, I can write original fiction. I can.
