indybagginsI want to start posting here more often again! So a meme on writing - feel free to steal it if you want to do it too!
🍓 How did you get into writing fanfiction?
I was one of those kids who had a feral childhood back in the nineties. My mother would work evenings and I'd be left alone to watch TV and put myself to bed, so I remember watching The X-Files from the time that I was like, 8? So once we got our first computer I looked it up, found fanfiction, and read it vicariously. After that came Lord of the Rings, which was the first fandom I wrote in.

dw_maintenanceWe're having to rebuild the search server again (previously, previously). It will take a few days to reindex all the content.
Meanwhile search services should be running, but probably returning no results or incomplete results for most queries.
