To fic, or not to fic?

[notreallystars]

I've started writing fanfic again. It'll probably be only one or two fics and then I'll stop again, but at least it will be something. I've stopped reading fic at all recently and I'm not sure why, but hopefully writing will help me get back into reading. I've never written HP next gen before and I'm not sure how it will go, but I'm enjoying starting it.

I don't know how I feel about writing HP fanfic either. A big part of me wants to distance myself from anything and everything related to JKR, but Harry Potter has been so important to me for so long that I really don't know how I'd go about that. Maybe I'll start putting old style disclaimers at the top of fics, only instead of saying that I don't own the world/characters I'll just talk about how shit she is.

Thanks <3 I really want to finish the fic I've started because it's been months since I've had any real inspiration for writing. I think I'll probably go with the disclaimer idea. I don't know why but I feel kind of nostalgic for fanfic disclaimers.

Same, actually! I used to put them on all my stuff, and goodness knows why, no-one would ever think I own Middle-earth 😂 but this is a great use for them.

Do you think you'll post a link to the fic on here? I'd love to read it when you're done.

I expect so, just need to make sure I actually finish it! I have so many partially written fics, it's silly.
