    <content type="html">The more I hang around in fandom spaces the more I realize I am not a fic writer. I am an original fiction writer who happens to be writing a fic right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My WIP is my first ever fanfic. I have been writing about since I learned to read. And the way I see people write fanfic is, for the most part, vastly different from how I'm approaching my story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's fascinating, really, what kind of fun stuff is created by fic writers! Things I never would have thought of, like the various "standard" AUs, (college, coffeshop, etc.) or telling one story with the characters from another...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=varve&amp;ditemid=1075" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
