The post about my #fanfic writing history and beyond captures a lot of what changed for me creatively and as a fan. https://ljwrites.blog/posts/fanfic-writing-history/ As a reader/fan I've moved away from media franchises and started reading more indie, and in my own writing I've changed focus from speculative fiction to queer #historicalFiction. I like to think my writing is more polished, sparer and more expressive. In my personal life I've earned three degrees, gotten married, and had a child. I've made my way in the world for 20+ years since and am more than twice as old as I was when I first started sharing fanfic. A lot changes in over two decades!
