There is so much I'd like to say about this, and I don't even know where to begin! I love that you wrote this and gave a little bit of background about how you got into fic writing - your journey is fascinating! I really love that you came to fanfiction on your own, without realizing what it was at first. It just happened for you. That's so cool.
(Incidentally, that's exactly how I started writing fic, too - it was all due to the gaps in HP that I wanted desperately to fill in or know more about. My middle-school scribbles never saw the light of day, though, thank goodness!)
And I really like that you talk about balancing your two lives. That's something I think about a lot, too. I've been posting fanfiction online for three years, and actively writing it for five. I have worried at various times that my second life is bleeding into and taking over my first, so it's good to know I'm not the only one thinking about balance.
(I feel like I had more to say, but it's late and I've been on the road all day. Whoops!)
Anyway, thank you for this little glimpse into your writing life! And thanks for sharing your stories! It has been great getting to know you better virtually these past two years :)
