Question of the Day Part 5
Purpura Lipstick:
I actually got started writing fanfic first. Carried around a notebook in high school that my friend and I would write parts (I wasn't allowed to write scenes with me and vice versa) it was fun so when I started CYDMR my friend convinced me to give writng an actual fanfic by myself. I did and I knew there were other writers out there, I didn't read much fanfic until I started my awards turned review site.

I could see that. Poor Sylar with bot flies in his brain LOL.

I discovered fanfic during the summer of 1999. I'd been a fan since early 1998, but the Millennium era was when I really got obsessed and started looking BSB up on the internet and stuff, and that's when I stumbled onto my first fanfic. I read a ton of it that summer; I couldn't get enough.
I originally couldn't see myself writing it at all, but that changed when I got an idea for a story and gave it a shot, sometime over that winter of 99/00. I started one story that I never finished, but then later rewrote from scratch and posted (Years of Grace), but the first story that I finished (Heartache) I got hosted on a site in I think February of 2000... and by the end of April, I had started my site and was writing a chapter a day and a novel a month LOL. Back then, I read and wrote in equal amounts - a LOT of both!! We still had dial-up internet, and my mom was always on my case about tying up the phone line, so I did a lot of copying and pasting of stories into Word to save and take back to my own computer to read offline.
Nowadays I'm probably more of a writer than a reader. I do still enjoy reading fanfics, but I mostly just follow a select few in-progress fics and read the updates on them when they're posted. I don't find myself seeking them out as often as I used to. If I scroll past a summary on the Most Recent page that catches my eye, I'll check it out, but I don't find myself actively searching for new stories to read. I think about writing a lot, though, and try to do at least a little every day (or every weekend, during the school year).

I'm really picky with them LOL. A lot of the ones I like are old school, like Mig Witch Project LOL. (I'm sure Julie has the link for that somewhere).

Mig Witch Project! http://www.angelfire.com/bc/BackstreetComedy/Blair.html
People who have not read this story before are probably going to think it's very stupid, but I was literally ROTFLMAO reading this story the first time I came across it (back in about 2000, from the days when Blair Witch Project parodies were still relevent LOL - it's an oldie!!), and it still amuses me. It's one of those humor stories that definitely makes fun of the Boys a lot.

I didn't protest; I just thought we were joking until I realized we weren't LOL. But I love how we can take a joke and turn it into an actual story!
