Fan fiction is not for the faint hearted.

So, I started writing my first ever fan fic yesterday. It's for SG1 and has all my favourite things in it, love, laughs and adventure but the fan fic world is a hostile place and going by my quickly diminishing reader stats, something that just maybe I'm not very good at. Anyway my third chapter went up tonight and I'm hoping it will get a better response than the 2nd one which was, in my own opinion, pretty bad. Oh well I have met some nice people who have been willing to lend a hand, yet again proving that the nerd community is very willing and accepting of n00bs like me.

It's very refreshing to meet people who are so open to discussion of things that they love. I also think the added distance between computer screens across the interweb helps. Anonymity is a great leveler. Think that might be stolen from someone. Oh well. Off to bed now and a hope that in the morning I will be a fan fic celebrity with a personal email from one or more SG1 cast members saying how blown away they were by my story writing abilities..... Oops, think I may have dozed off there for a second...
