Fanfiction.net

I updated my profile on ff.net and explained that I'm no longer writing fanfiction. I always feel sorry for the fans who send me private messages asking if I'm still writing.

Looking back at the time when I used to write a lot, sometimes two or three fanfics a week... I feel rather nostalgic. According to ff.net, I wrote 61 fanfics, ranging from G to R (the NC-17 stories are not listed there of course). And the stories that I'm most proud of? The Lifebearers and Sires universe that reached the 80 000 words mark and Carnival of Souls, the longest one-shot I ever wrote (over 6 000 words). There are a lot of cute stories too... One of the dearest to me is Nettles, a Yami no Matsuei fic where Tsuzuki has Hisoka, a nettle of his own :)

There were some first and almost first for me too. I was one of the first who wrote fanfics for Gorgeous Carat and probably the first person who wrote drabbles in the Gundam Wing fandom on a mass scale - meaning at least one a day.

Good old times :)

Why did you stop hon?

Well, I work as a translator. I translate fantasy books. That's my field of creativity these days :) And besides, I just didn't have enough time to read books and fanfiction, watch TV shows and write too. So, something had to go :(

Ohh. Sounds like a really interesting job tho! To get your fix AND get paid for it? :) Wow!!

Yup, it is an interesting job. One gets to read books that one would usually skip. For example now, I'm translating the Dragonlance series and the Forgotten Realms series too. It's not really my cup of tea but it is interesting enough :)
