fanfiction and me, or confessions of a (former) ff snob
A little over a year ago, maybe, I wrote my first fanfiction. Even just a few weeks prior to that I thought ff was silly and a waste of time. Seriously, can you not come up with your own characters? Must you rely on The Professionals for an overall story line? Then I started reading some really, really excellent stories and kind of changed my mind about reading it.

I never committed these early works to paper or stone tablets or anything, but, damn if I hadn't been writing them in my brain.

- any type of assualt on a child
- death of a canon character (who doesn't die in canon)
