I discovered tumblr early last year, right about when I got into New Who (having grown up on classic). A few months later I was encouraged to take up fanfic, and I posted a couple of Jack Harkness and River song stories.
Last summer, further encouraged, I self published my first book.
Then I watched Sherlock, took up my pen (so to speak) and started writing Johnlock.
Things exploded. I got more feedback, love and support then I ever thought I’d get about anything. I found family through my fandoms.
Last month I changed my college major to Film and Media, hoping to focus on screenwriting. I want to tell stories for a broad audience.
All because of what I found in fandom.
