Fan Fiction Addiction
Aug. 22nd, 2012 10:05 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
At some point, I need to really seriously consider whether or not writing fan fiction feeds some kind of emotional need/addictive personality trait of mine. One of the things I've discovered now that I've been at this for a while is that there are real emotional ups and downs. I know for a fact that writing fan fic gives me the kind of rush I used to experience role-playing. It's sometimes a real adrenaline high, because it's really just THAT FUN for me to play pretend (in my head in this case) and be the characters I enjoy so much (on paper). Another high comes once I've posted. Watching "hits" and "kudos" and "coments" roll in can be really exhilerating when a story hits the presses as it were. And, given that I write short peices, no more than 5,000 words at most (usually around 2,000), I can get this kind of thrill once every other day, or more if I'm on a roll.
Who doesn't love being loved? And I seem to have a fairly steady fan base of about 60 readers, depending on the series. Considering that all my fic series are open-ended and Bleach isn't as hugely popular now as it was several years ago, I think that's actually pretty good. Especially when you add in my personal obsession -- I write almost exculsively from the point of view of one character, so I'm already cutting out a ton of Bleach people for whom Renji isn't a favorite. As a comparison, when I post my Harry Potter crossover stuff, I'll get to a 100 hits really quickly (which is also kind of impressive given the fact that Ichigo is the pov character there, and I suspect most Potter fans could care less.)
I guess what I'm saying is... I feel like I get so much more out of fan fic writing, because of this instant response/instant gratification. One of the reasons I started a writers' group was because I love hearing from people along the way. Writing alone doesn't do it for me. Writing in a vacuum even less.
I also experience weird lows. When my usual commenters don't respond right away... right after the inital excitment dies down... it's very much a cycles of highs and lows.
Hmmmm.
However, I'm still working to try to come up with original story ideas for each day. Today it involved a ghost message from a Hamm radio.
Speaking of my writing career, though, I'm pleased to say that my dance card at WorldCON is quickly filling up. Turns out, I can attend both the SUPER-SEEKRIT pro shingdig as well as the Harry Potter party, because I didn't realize that they actually were scheduled on different days after all. So I RSVPed to both today. Plus, a few professionals who are local to Chicago are doing things at their houses or organizing outings, so I'll have friends around me to keep me from feeling like a fraud.
