Challenge #5

In your own space, talk about an idea you wish you had the time / talent / energy to do.

Oh jeez this list could honestly be endless. I guess the latest on my mind has been fanfic. I have a few ideas that've been bouncing around my head, but the talent and energy requirements seem far too high for me haha. I'm always kind of scared of writing fic though. Part of it is my high expectations. Especially since I'd really only be writing for myself, it's frustrating that I can't really write in a way I enjoy reading... at least sometimes. Sometimes I'm really amused by my own works lol but I think that's just a by product of me finding myself really funny lmaoooo. I like serious, well developed stories though, and those are a struggle for me to write. The other part of it is just the cringe. I just.... can't get over the inner cringe. Especially because I wish I could write more serious fic, being serious about it is even more embarrassing. I honestly have the utmost respect for fic writers, even those who are still learning and maybe not putting out the most impressive works... but I find it really, really hard to hope for or allow myself that same kindness.

As for what I'd like to write, I really am such a sucker for the completely off the wall random stuff that has such a narrow appeal. Those crack pairings taken seriously. Those crossovers born of nothing more than really loving two completely unrelated series at the same time. There's other people out there who share my interests, and I know it because I've stumbled upon their works occasionally and they're like saviors to me. I want to do that. I want to write the random fic that will pop in someone's head one day, and they'll wonder "I wonder if anyone has actually done this?" and someone has!!! Me! Or someone's just browsing randomly and stumbles upon my work and thinks "I never would've thought of this but it works????" Anyway that's my dream I've been far too cowardly to approach. Maybe one day lol

Me too! SO HARD! I love toattempt to write them and I LOVE coming across some random that I'd never thought to even imagine together. For instance, I came across a Captain America/ Go Tell a Watchman crossover that was just... 🤯🤯🤯. Like Steve Rogers and Atticus Finch discussing race in America?!?! Okay, yes please and thank you! ❤❤
