A Mutual Friend

Here it is, my first in hopefully a series of adventure stories about Captain Jack Harkness and River Song. Leave a comment, I hope people enjoy.
“A routine ship repair takes a hard left turn when River Song’s favorite mechanic is kidnapped. Her determination to find and free Alyssa puts River on a collision course with a piece of the Doctor’s past. He’s got a planet-sized ego, a give ‘em hell attitude, and he looks good in a tuxedo, but one thing’s for sure: he’s not getting his Sonic Blaster back”
See this guys? One year ago, this was the FIRST fic I posted on AO3, and i did it with a lot of encouragement from awabubbles and jazzforthecaptain. Jazz especially let me use her as a sounding board and read it for me. And held my hand (virtually) when I nervously posted it. Then she reblogged it with this gif, which made me absolutely happy.
So…encourage your fellow fic writers (and artists and crafters and everyone else). You never know what you might help make.
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.
Reblog if you’ve found friendship because of your fandoms.
Duh?
I hit 500 followers! I don’t know where you all came from, but I love all of you and hope you enjoy your stay in my corner of tumblrland!
I plan on doing a giveaway next month, so keep an eye out for that
We’re almost to the end of the year, the normal time to look back. 2013 has been a lot of things to me. It was the year I really rediscovered my love of Doctor Who. I found Sherlock, Torchwood, Supernatural and Superwood. I went to my first con as an adult and cosplayed for the first time. I started this tumblr. I wrote fanfic for the first time in 15 years. I published my first book.
2013 was the year I learned to dream again.
A couple years ago I was ready to give up writing. To put it on a shelf marked ‘unrealistic’ and ‘never happen.’
Now I have roughly 180,000 words on AO3, and an amount of hits that blows my mind. I have a book you can buy on Amazon.
I want to thank you. Some you have become basically family and you know who you are. And for everyone who has read or said a kind word or liked a fic or a post or reblogged something: you have quite literally changed my life.
I changed my major last week because you’ve given me the confidence to stretch. You’ve helped me believe in myself as a writer.
So thank you. All of you. My life would be poorer by far without all if you in it.
Here’s to an amazing 2014.
