Whoa, it's out. It's done. If putting it somewhere other people can read it is the last step in writing something, I have, for the first time, finished a piece of fiction meant for other people to read.
I'm 37 years old and publishing my first fanfic.
The creator of the original work was 37 years old with many other shows under his belt when he came up with two of those characters. I'm not really winning, if it's a contest (lol), but I'm very grateful for the inspiration, for the little push to put something of myself out there.
In the interim between finishing and now, a couple of things have happened that coincided with the things I was trying to get across to myself, while writing it.
( if you thought the vibes were good, just stop reading here if you don't want them to sour )
