I remember (before posting myself) reading fanfictions and being so impressed by how many talented writers there are in the Shadowhunters fandom. (My fam!) That inspired me and, having experience, having written a lot myself, I decided to try it too. I decided quickly that I wanted too share it, cause I wanted feedback on what I wrote and also that I know how much fans enjoy fanfiction. I thought maybe they’d enjoy mine, and I liked that idea. I have a lot of great moments, mostly fans just telling me they really enjoyed my work. But a few that has stood out to me are when people say I could be an actual writer!! Like what?? I would lie if I said it hasn’t crossed my mind, but just hearing or reading someone say that is so amazing. That I could be good enough to be a published author? Wow. That means the world to me! You always doubt yourself as a writer, I’m sure every writer can relate to that, but positive feedback can just make that go away. I’m so grateful for that!
