Listening to: "Ageha" - w~indsFor the past 2 days, I've been really antsy b/c I had this really good idea for "Past Regrets and Future Hopes," my Full Moon wo Sagashite fanfic collection. Anyway, I spent all of last night writing it, and this morning I've put it up. How I got inspired was kind of backwards when you think about what song-fic is. I had just wanted to write the story and was trying to think of a title when suddenly, Hikaru Utada's "First Love" came on. I found translations to the lyrics and thought this would be a perfect fit to my story. See for yourself Just a side note, I've finally written something a little more upbeat (at least compared to the previous 3 chapters).
It's a shame that fanfiction writing cannot be an occupation and that I don't work as hard on my original stories. I guess fanfics are easier to write b/c the characters and plot are already there. For someone who likes doing character-centered pieces, I don't have to worry about motives and background stories. I've been told that I have a knack for getting inside the character's head, but I think that's only b/c I can relate to them. Still this gives me a reason not to hate my sensitive and sympathetic nature.
