You do NOT want to see the fanfics I wrote when I was thirteen.

I started writing fanfics. They involve me with mythological ladies.

I thought that Phoebe’s dad was a writer for an animated TV show called “Pastel Unicorns.”

They must be so proud!

Are they the kind of fanfics that will be turned in an “adult” movie? (and make you a billionaire)

What’s wrong with fan fiction? It’s becoming one more form of the Internet generation’s folklore.

And I oughta know. The American Folklore Society granted me a fellowship to study it at Bowling Green.

The fan fiction novelization of “The Crow” I wrote was complimented by the original graphic novelist, James O’Barr, where he told me “My true gratitude for your inspirational work.” I also wrote a huge fan fiction of “Edward Scissorhands” where Edward gets new hands and the girl (conveniently an orphan) and they live happily ever after together in a big log cabin in the Sierras, about which Ryan Corven (another Crow fan) commented: “An Edward Scissorhands fanfic … remains one of the very best I’ve ever read.”

I’m 41 and still writing fanfic (you can probably guess what of).

Never stop imagining and never stop having fun.

Were they sparkly vampires?

You can probably still find my Ranma 1/2 fics somewhere.

A love born on Literature!? HOORAY!

I have a whole bunch of scraps of fanfics that I’ve never finished, simply because my creative “lightbulb” has a low lifespan. art on the other hand, while I’m not one of those super serious “art-a-day” people, I like to think that I am slowly but surely improving.

I didn’t start actually writing fanfics until I was in 7th grade. I lot of them I wrote back then were pretty cr@ppy, but nowadays, I still write fanfics, and for the most part, a lot of them are better than the ones I wrote back then.

(wonders about why the cartoon had “fanfic” instead of “fanfics” in its dialogue)

I wrote short sci-fi stories as a teenager.

Who hasn’t tried their hand at fanfiction?

I won’t ask, don’t worry.
