Writing Fan Fiction

I used to write fan fiction a long time ago. It was all based on my favorite TV shows: Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, The 10th Kingdom, General Hospital and All My Children. If you don't have any new character ideas yet, it's a great way to practice writing everyday.

Some of my old stories are on a site called FanFiction.net, but there was a mass exodus a few years ago when they started "burning" books. They don't allow adult content on their site, even though they have a Mature Audiences rating you can use. One day they decided to purge anything with adult content in it. People got so angry they banded together and started a new site called AO3 or Archive of Our Own. If you have anything adult in your stories, go straight to AO3.

Well, I must get ready for work. Have a great day. I know I will.

  1. Hi Holly! I really admire the way you've been keeping up with this blog and hope your writing is going well. I just started scanning through the archives and found this entry. :) Earlier this year I dug out my old GH fanfic and wrote a few more chapters then got distracted with a website. Really need to finish it! Need to somehow kick myself into gear.

    1. Thanks so much! It has been a real discipline to come here each day and write SOMETHING. I'm very proud of myself. It doesn't have to be a masterpiece, just the act of writing. Hopefully that will give other people some encouragement to keep up their own writing. =]
