Confessions of A Grown Up Fan Fic Writer

I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO TELL YOU....

Baw, I'm a sheep.

I also have a confession to make. A fandom confession, not the naughty sexy fun kind. ;)

I have a terrible weakness for band AUs. I don't know why, I can't explain what my fascination is, I just love fic or art involving characters as musicians. I know that these are usually terribly done, and they make no sense, and in most of my fandoms it's a ridiculously stupid idea, but the fact remains.

I don't generally go reading these fics, and I'd never write one to post online, but I liked thinking about who would be in a band together, what sort of music they'd write, would they be famous, what would their albums look like?

I guess it's my 'guilty pleasure' scenario, or something. We all have them.

There was also a time I really dug vampire AUs. I've moved beyond that stage, but in the interest of full disclosure, I felt it bore mentioning.

I was up before 10 AM today. I'm going to shoot for that every morning, if possible. I'm very much trying to adopt an 'early to bed, early to rise' pattern - which is why I seem to drop off the face of the earth around 7 or 8 my time. (Though last night it's because I was cooking then eating dinner, then beginning my pre-bed routine.)

I'm starting to get new calluses in my hand from my new cane. It sits just a little bit differently in my hand then the old one.

I feel better now about that meme I did where I had to post ideas for high school AUs based on various fandoms.

I still want to write the Pyramid Head x Maria one.

Though high school AUs may never be good, unless there are good ones I haven't read.

ETA: Actually now that I remember someone was working on one I didn't think was bad. But they did, so they never finished it.

Hahah, I've actually read some High School AUs. They can be entertaining!

do it!

I sometimes like to indulge in ridiculous AUs, just for fluff reading. Now I'm kind of tempted to go looking....
