Comment on International Fanworks Day is Coming

  1. I'd like my psued listed as it is spelled above and I hail from the East Coast of the USA!
    I've been dying to start a major re-haul project of my old fanfiction, and perhaps getting it prepared and releasing it on IFD would be the perfect way to celebrate!
    So what does fanwork mean to me? It's a chance to explore - explore the environments characters live in, their personalities or alternates thereof, it allows me to explore the "what if?" possibilities. I feel that it opens up conversations about characters and in turn, people in real life. It's like being part of a really fun and awesome sociology project because it helps me to connect and understand people. Fanwork has allowed me to express myself and open up to others in a way I never knew possible - verbal communication tends to be challenging for me and to have an idea expressed, understood, and even welcomed has helped me in the many facets of my life. It may be difficult for others to understand me sometimes as I go about my every day life, but knowing that I have a safe, warm, welcoming environment in fanwork to come home to makes life a little easier to take.
