I don't remember what mine was. :/
And you are 'ahead' of 18 other fan fictions. If this was a contest. And sadly most of those 18 are no longer writing, so you'll always be ahead. Writing is writing is writing. Some people give up after the first chapter, even if they have something to say. "I'm not good enough. No one will ever read this. It's just not interesting or it isn't 'what you see on the market.'" Well HAH. You're writing for you before all other things. If you need a clapping audience to start the story only you can tell then I'm afraid that you'll never start. But that wasn't you, Katana. It doesn't matter how many people read or don't read what you write. If you are writing because you enjoy it, because you love weaving a plot for you to untangle, then the amount of people is just a number. Large or small, as long as it includes 1 more than 0 and that 1 is yourself, then you have succeeded in bringing into the world a story worth the paper it's written on.

Well said Minted! I've been writing for myself for over hal a century LOL. Dang that sounds like I am some ancient shaman or something. But it is only in recent years I have been able to get my work out there.Never say never. . . and write. . and share!

I suppose I feel like I need it, due to my immediate hatred of whatever I write, due to it simply not being good enough to me, at the time. It’s also why I never edit as I have to fight the urge to scrap everything.
Also there’s the fact I write very little down, so if all the details are in my head, I can never know if people will actually enjoy it or not. And while season 3 has grown out of the trend, seasons 1 and 2 relied on fan interaction. (Season 1 heavily relied on it.) So I’m used too and also miss that. I’m just pointlessly rambling now, but I’ll continue. While I do write to write and for myself, I also write to tell a story.

Mint! You put me on here! And I got votes! I should start it again. But one of the reasons I stopped mine is because I have trouble continuing after the first few chapters. I have the plot all planned out but I just can't figure out how I want to write it (or I write it but don't like how it turns out). Maybe I could do short stories in the same setting? Because then I'd get the same plot but I'd be able to do lots more perspectives and different times and events and it would be more interesting for me to write.
Now I have to go read the other stories on this list! We should do this for comics. Because sometimes people stop doing them when it seems like nobody reads them because nobody comments.

I agree with you, Fawn. ^^ There should be one for comics.
Nice to hear, Pika!
Katana: Sometimes you need to continue to write 'bad' writing, because it's better than what you used to write. I'm not ever going to say that anyone's writing is perfect. There is always improvement that can be made. The difference is that you just have to put that writing away. Learn what battles to fight and for how long. There's always going to be problems. It's just making it 'good enough'. And it's perfectly fine to miss the fan interaction. I'm sorry that's the case, I really am. But also know that I really want that back for you. I don't want you to give up on your motivation and be bitter because it's not though. I like you and your writing too much for that.

W hen you get into that kind of "block" a good way to undo that is to put yourself in your character's head and see what they would do, or what their thoughts are, their fears, wants, and what possibilities lay ahead of them, and sometimes the kink in the plot/block etc will work itself out. Looking at the story thru their eyes often works out stuck parts, because your character will say in no uncertain terms "No I won't do that, No that is not going to happen, its kjust no me, and yep that is what I would do."
