So, I realized that it's probably been about a year since I discovered fandom. That in itself was a strange thought--that I've been doing this for a year of my life is bizarre, it doesn't feel that long--but it got me to thinking other strange thoughts. Thus, we have my first...

I think writing is sometimes a mirror of life in general. If your personality changed your writing did aswell - sort of, because writing is a way to express yourself as a person and an artist.
Reading fluff is fun but I can't write it. I wrote one H/D fluff drabble once. It was fun but nothing I will do again soon even if I love fluff dearly.
I quote my friend astartexx 'So I dump some garbage on them and watch them deal and then going on with their lives(...)' - that's what she said about writing fanfiction - angst or flangst in general. Live isn't always full of sunshine and fluffy clouds - even if you want to be happy yourself you still have to go through loads of problems sometimes. So do your characters - no matter if you're writting fanfiction or original ficiton.

*babbles* I could continue about this for ages but dinner is ready. *lol*

I think I went through a similar experience as a reader. I used to only want the romantic fics with happy endings, and though I didn't write (publicly) back then, those are probably the kind of fics I would have writen. Slowly, though, I found that - especially for Harry/Draco - moreoften the angst was more believable, and lets face it, Harry and Draco aren't all that likely to live happily ever after together. I think it was around the time I realized this that I started getting little drabble and spoken word bunnies that I simply couldn't ignore, so I began to post publicly. I do, of course, enjoy some happy and/or gushy romantic fics still, but I find I'm not as inspired to do that kind of writing myself
