Confessions Of A Fan Fiction Addict

In all honesty, I’d much rather stare at my phone for an hour than carry on a conversation with you.

Hi, I’m Travis and I’m addicted to Fan fiction.

Fan fiction is fiction about characters or settings from an original work of fiction like Harry Potter, or real people, like the U.S. Olympic Swimming team, created by fans of that work rather than by its creator. If you want more info on fan fiction, you can check out the Wikipedia article on it.

I can tell you that I read stories about Teen Wolf when I don’t even watch the show.

I’ve met people that write fanfiction and I even write fanfiction (not lately though…#CollegeLife) and don’t even think about asking for my pen names.

I’m on just about every fanfiction site: fanfiction.net, archiveofourown.org (AO3), Wattpad and even more.

In all honesty, I’d much rather stare at my phone for an hour than carry on a conversation with you.


I will read fanfiction on just about every topic. From something that builds off of cannon, nothing is changed from the universe of the show, all the way to Mpreg, male pregnancy, and alternate universes (AU).

I don't care if it's realistic or not, it provides me an escape from the real world. Being someone who stresses out over nothing, you need an escape, and Fanfiction is mine.

The Post Thanksgiving Panic And Anxiety

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.
