I've been using fanfic as a way to get myself into fiction writing in general. I've never written much fiction prior to this, so I thought I'd borrow some characters to practice with before I worked on some of my own. I've quite liked it! But yes, I'm sure when I make the transition to my own original stuff, it will be slow going.

I'm so curious now about your original piece that you're working on...!

Asylums and the Peterloo massacre. Interesting points, both. Will require a bit of research, but that's right up my alley too. Thank you so much for the ideas!
