Ya’ll, I am so very nervous to post this. A bit of a story: In the Summer, I began a Motherland: Fort Salem fic with a friend of mine, each of us alternating on sections. Whatever, that was grand. This friend of mine has some diagnosed personality issues, that I assumed were managed. Later, once I noticed the traits in her, I began to also notice little narcissistic traits in her character, who was supposed to be my character’s best friend. She had most of the storylines up until that point, and always shifted control back to her, her character made small, cutting remarks about mine, to the point that I thought I was going crazy. She pushed my character from bi-curious push and pull to being bisexual… it got to be a mess. Flash forward, to many hurtful things being said, and no more story—no more creative or intellectual outlet for me—I’m quite limited on creating things right now, so that was the most heartbreaking part of it all.

So, my sweet friend suggested, “Isn’t there like a forum or something? Somewhere where you can go to find a writing friend?”

So here I am. I already have an original character developed that could totally change to make whatever work… She starts out with Fire Work, but ends up becoming a Fixer, sort of like a mix between Work and Trauma surgery. She also— wait. Spoilers are for losers.

Feeling hopeful and terrified.

Also, if there happen to be writing friends on here, that would be more than ideal. Heh.
