12 Signs You Write Fanfiction
Vocalady Magazine

1. You accept the title of "Life Ruiner" a little too easily

"what would happen if X was going blind and was scared what Y would think" "Character X dies and the rest of the characters have to deal with it"

2. Half of your writings are unfinished because you keep getting ideas for alternate universes

3. When you decide to come back to something you wrote years ago and question how you thought that was good

The fact some of them are still picking up fans is just as shocking

4. At some point you've questioned what changes you need to make in order to get it published

5. You forever judge your work, but in the end it will always be better than My Immortal

6. You've made very specific playlists depending on what you're writing.

7. Your Google searches are a little questionable

I swear I'm not a criminal officer, I'm just a writer

8. If you play The Sims, your households consist primarily of the characters from your writings

And then you mod it to no end to make characters look as accurate as possible.

9. You can't watch certain movies or TV shows because you've already cast a certain actress or actor to play your original character.


For instance, Meghan Ory from Once Upon a Time is Lady Loki, Holliday Grainger is Persephone, and Liu Yifei is my original character Kisara

10. The next few days after uploading a chapter you spend checking for reviews/favorites/follows

11. Sometimes you get a little TOO invested in the fictional world and forget about real life

Alternative: You start learning more about the history of the world because of the influences on the fictional one.

12. You either can succeed in writing 5-10 page chapters of work or fail to finish one page of homework.

It's something I know too true. You spend more time on work you want to do then stuff you don't.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
