Newsflash- I'm a dork


Journalism is still a question mark, but I started thinking of what made me want to do it in the first place. It was my enjoyment of writing that prompted me to study journalism, and while I might not want to write news anymore, I still like writing. I haven’t had much time for it recently, but I’m trying to get back into it.  I want to get my creative juices flowing again.   So instead of working on homework I should have been doing, I just spent the entire morning reading fan fiction. For any one who doesn’t know, fan fiction are stories written by fans based on a TV show, movie, etc.  Fan fiction was one of my early influences in creative writing, and I just spent about four hours exploring websites I used to go to. While these writers are amateurs and often the grammar is bad, it is the fantasy that is attractive. People think up plots that you wished were played out in a TV show or movie. So now that I’ve just broadcast that I’m a major dork, if you are interested, FanFiction.net is a good site to visit. It includes fan fiction for TV shows, movies, plays, cartoons and more.
