Six Years of Fanfiction!

by

fanfictionSo I’ve mentioned in previous posts that I am an avid fanfiction writer. I love fanfiction. Well, today marks exactly six years since I joined fanfiction.net. Six years since I took up the screen name: OwenHarpersGirl. In that time (as of 11:59 last night) I have:

To celebrate six years, I updated every ongoing multi-chapter story I have posted so far, as well as uploading three new things.

But why is fanfiction so important to me? Well, before discovering fanfiction, writing was something I had always done for fun. It was a hobby. And when I say always, I mean always. I found some old notebooks from when I was four to six that I had written in and they contained stories I had made up about Pokemon and Digimon characters.

OwenHarpersGirl is like a second name to me now. It’s the name I use on all three writing websites I’m a part of (ff.net, AO3, and Wattpad) as well as my deviantart, NaNoWriMo, and tumblr. It was even the name on my Twitter and Pinterest up until I created this site. While at first it was a name I created because of my favourite character in a tv program, now it’s literally become like a part of who I am.

Writing fanfiction has changed my life. I never thought six years ago, when I first signed up, that I would have almost 100 stories with readers in 158 different countries! I have made so many amazing friends and learned so many new things through fanfiction and it’s crazy to think that my life could be totally different right now if I hadn’t signed up that day.

A big thank you to anyone who has ever read any of my fanfiction and I look forward to many more years of fanfiction writing.

Do any of you write fanfiction? Why or why not?

6779e3dd178c8f23ff332fe879270dcaGrowing up, I spent a lot of time reading. I remember my favourite childhood books, the first chapter book I read on my own, and the novels that have stayed with my even now. My love for reading helped to develop my love for writing. I write short stories, poetry, fanfiction, and am currently editing and redrafting my first novel.

I am hoping to use this blog to share the things I learn about writing and talk about books I’m reading as well as other things I might feel like talking about. For now, I will introduce myself a bit.

  • My name is Jen
  • I am a freelance writer
  • I write fanfiction (see links below)
  • My favourite colour is purple
  • I have a puppy named Frankie
  • I like listening to music when I write
  • I spend a lot of time procrastinating by watching TLC…
  • …And watching anything Marvel related
  • My favourite band is R5
  • I am an ice capp addict
  • I love reading and am currently reading the first Game of Thrones novel

I’m sure there will be more at a later date, but for now that’s all I have. I’m not sure how often I will post things, but I’m thinking of trying for every week.
