Occupation… renewed?

I’ve been a fanfic… fan, for several years now – some things that I’ve read and saved predating my introduction to the fanfiction world.  They were just that good (at least to me.)  Yes, I have written some. I’ve only ever posted one, and it was incomplete (still is, actually).

Author and reader! Especially reader – I think my record is finishing one almost 300k words long in less than three days (two and a half).  That was having just finished one the day before starting, and with two more for the weekend (this was a tuesday-thursday reading marathon).  It was a very satisfying week, since they all turned out well written, and sufficiently if not especially engaging.

But, it has come to my attention, as an undergrad art major, that I have nothing but time. Time which can be spent sleeping or… doing something.  Now, all that time is perfect for getting art done – but once it’s done, the rest of that daily chunk of free time has to be dealth with somehow.  True, I could sleep more – and I do love sleep, but I’m not enough of a narcoleptic to make that my past time.  So, fanfiction has come back to bite me in my derriere.

I have the above mentioned fic to hash out and actually finish, but besides that, boredeom breeds… odd things. Odd things which will become other pieces of amateur literature, posted in the public domain, free for all to read and critique. Sounds like I’m sending the experiments of a mad scientist out into the world as another, bigger experiment.

That would be a more accurate statement if I was that bizarre when it came to writing. But I like my literature to be of a decent standard at least – actually involving plots and some real wit beyond reasonable characterization.  Well, guess I can put all my people-watching to the test and see what I’ve learned taking the real-life psychology/sociology crash course.

Wish me luck!
