I didn't discover fanfiction until after book 7, when my disappointment forced me to find something more. For as long as I can remember, I have always made up stories in my head. something to keep me occupied during mundane tasks, when driving a long distance, or to help me fall asleep. Some of these stories made in onto paper and are in a file, others have been scrapped. What I didn't realize was that all this time many of the stories in my head were a form of fanfiction. The original stories are the ones that I actually wrote down. I write to get them out of my head. I write to calm myself down. I write things I would want to read. My writing is personal. I write it for me. I may not be good at it, but it's mine. A part of me that will still be here when I am gone.
