[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: Fanfic yes or no and why?

[Denise R]

I'm guilty of writing Fanfic, as well, just not completing it (grins).  I
get writer's block too easily.

Btw, Vernon/Lily-fanfic is shelved for awhile until my personal life gets in
order.

I know you all were soooo looking forward to THAT slash!  Grins.

I started the old fashion way with HP--I read PoU.

:)

I also read Brittany Spears, and other tales that are in my briefcase.

INTERESTING reads, to say the least.  At list Hp meets BS was "cleaner" than
most?

I started off in my writing career writing a letter from a lover, Kelson
Haldane to a woman in a parallel time.  At this point in my life, I did not
know Dark Shadows, so the term must have come from somewhere else!

My second FF was Dragonlance.  I had Tanis and Kitiara having a daughter
(Raistlin's niece) who was also a magi, but refused to wear anything but
Royal-blue robes.  It infuriated everyone at the towers.  My crew (gained a
few folks in the party, including Sturm's son by another woman, and he too
was a fighter, like his father (an orphan).  Of course, Danisha and he got
together!  His name was something that started with an X.  Been quite awhile
so I couldn't tell you what it was.

The company was seeking (in my mind, not on paper) Magus's burial spot.  I
knew it had to be somewhere on the map.  The story got ditched when DL-Atlas
left my hands and never returned. :(

At least I have the artwork (including the pic with Raistlin, Fist, and the
Tardis!) book still.

When I came to HP, folks were already going off (at the club) about Lori's
story.

Now that I've read it, I can see why.

I've not read Fic for awhile, not certain why not.

Just sorta drifting.... :)  (Not even started ASA yet... and I know, that's
a BAD thing!  TSMGO I'll read AFTER ASA, when I can.  Prolly will get access
to a college printer, and print them out... heehee!)

Hope that answers the question.

Now that it's hard to keep my eyes open (forgive any typos, I'm almsot
asleep!), I"m heading out.  Night!
