On the
AW forums, there is an
interesting thread about writers who started out writing fanfiction first. I'm one of them. In fact, I still read fanfiction. More, one of the reasons why I decided to work on my duet of novels (
Letters of the Dead and
Eyes of the Gods) is the fact that I'm in
Surpernatural withdrawals.
My duet is an older series that I let languish because I didn't think I could revise it to look like commercially published books. Also, it tended to be shorter than what they published. The duet series was written during a
nano session. I'm thinking 2007, but I'm not sure. Anyway, the first novel was written and the second half written.
As I started re-reading and outlining and planning fixes on my duet, I realized the first novel especially reminded me of Cass and Dean interactions. I thought cool: motivation! Something to help not only with my drive to publish something this year, but with my SPN fixation as well.
