...you begin composing an epic length piece of fanfiction.
As a fun little factoid about me, I'm currently working on a My Little Pony fanfiction. On my laptop, it is currently 35 pages. I started working on it in April, just after Season 2 ended. I begun posting it in the summer. It's taken some time for traffic and such to pick up, but I know I've got fans. I do need to keep working on it, though, before Season 3 completely trashes all my current theories!
However, Ponies has been side-swiped by a project I didn't see coming at all. About a week ago, I read a Lindsey Stirling (Yeah, I'm one of those fans) fanfiction. It places my favorite violinist in a fantasy setting, where she has to gain back her kingdom from a wicked cult that has declared war on all music. I wanted in on this universe, so I joined the fanfiction's group and made a character.
I decided to help the author out by offering myself as an editor. After all, I'm an English Major, I should use all these skill I have somehow. Less than 24 hours after joining this group, I was promoted to author. My ideas have been implimented to the story, and I love it.

You can check out my current fanficton project here. I wrote the ending of chapter 2, most of chapter 3, and sporadically throughout chapter 4.
What I love most is how this is making me realize how much I really love writing. I love how I'm meeting people with similar interests, how I can talk to them about nerdy things like plot, character arcs, establishing the bad guys as a serious threat, etc. I'm learning to love everything about the writing process, and that's going to help my own personal writing projects.
Oh, if you want to check out my Pony fic, (and a Kingdom Hearts one)

These are all my stories. There will probably be more in the future.
It's safe to say I'm a dedicated fan. And I love it.
