Second Year in AFF!

So I'm celebrating my second year in AFF today :))))

It seems just like yesterday when I found a link to a fic here (specifically Rewind) and started reading. I decided to make an account to actually see and read censored words relating to foul language and . So yes, I started that way and then later on started writing and posting my works too.

Actually, AFF was the main cause of why I'm writing. If I wasn't here, if I hadn't found AFF in the first place, I doubt that I will be writing any stories, I doubt that I will be spending my free times thinking about scenarios, concepts and characters, I doubt that I can ever find new friends and new works to adore. I would've been drowning in paperback novels and school works the past two years if AFF never entered my life. I would've completely broken down some time in the past two years.

AFF had been a great break from everything for it contains the stories I treasure in my heart the most and it had also been the outlet of an ability I just recently discovered.

It had only been two years since I have written and yes I am well aware of my incompetence and shortcomings when it comes to writing that whenever I get to meet new people and learn that they have been writing far longer - 10 years, most of their life - than I was, I have always felt insecure and small. But even though I cringe at my earlier works, I am and still trying to find a fitting color I would paint my stories with and actually be proud of it. I still have a long way to go I know and with each story I read here teaches me new things, things which I could apply in my own writing process.

My past works were indeed cringeworthy but nah- I would probably still be writing. Writing is such a work, I discovered just recently since I don't plan things out before and just write spontaneously (which didn't work out so well for me) and I'm still in the early process of learning but I would probably still be writing. After all, I still got a few ideas in my mind waiting to be translated into words. It is such a work but making scenarios, characters and personalities are fun, so I believe I'm in the right track right?

I would probably just need some guidance... hah!

So what was all of that? That's basically me saying, it has been two years since I've started writing and reading fanfictions, I'm pretty sure I won't be stopping any time soon. Here's to more stories and more years in AFF!
