Yesssss. Sharing what I’ve written (with people online, not anyone I know irl) is such a beautiful thing, honestly. I feel so connected to my writer friends and readers on here in a way I can’t be with people who don’t know about what I do in my spare time.

Honestly, I feel like this is the best thing about fanfic. Reading it is great, sure, but being able to contact and become friends with people who wrote your favorite things is amazing.
