I haven't written a fic in a while.
I feel bad just writing that, because I only started writing fanfiction at all a few months ago, when I first started coming here. At first it was just something I did as a lark, but when I started to get some positive feedback, I really began to enjoy it, and started to write and post more, and it was great fun.
The problem is that while fanfiction is great fun, it doesn't pay and isn't something you can put on a resume. When I first started coming here, my freelance writing was in a slump - but recently, it's started to go on an upswing again, and now I find myself juggling several projects at once, all of them writing (d20 RPG writing too, which I love) and all of them either paying or offering monetary compensation (free products, etc.), and all of which look good when applying for other such jobs.
Simply put, writing for work has squeezed out fic writing, and I miss the fic writing. I just wanted to toss that out there in case anyone was wondering why I suddenly went from posting stuff every other day to suddenly vanishing off the face of the 'net. :blue:
