To those who are currently writing a story right now, why did you start writing that story?

My writing slaves are fucking slow, so I am having to do it myself to live out my power fantasies, since my normal outlet, Roleplaying, is being unhelpful in nothing running.
 
Well… two reasons really. One is that the story I'm trying to tell has been sitting in my brain for years.

I kept on thinking I would never be able to tell it. I always thought I didn't have the skills to create. My old man and older brother kind of pounded that into me when I tried to show them my original ideas. I was just a young teenager so of course they sucked but… well let's just say an hour long lecture on why I sucked nearly killed that creativity dead.

So a part of why I started is to prove that I can.

The other reason was Treble pissed me off. ( honestly I just used that as an excuse to try.)
 
Wanted to read a specific story so i made it my self and wanted to practice since english its not my native language.
 
Now that I started writing a story here, I can answer this. I started writing it because it seemed like that's what people do on this forum and it would have felt weird if I was just lurking and commenting in rant threads without actually contributing some writing.

Also, the story I chose to write is based on a play-by-post roleplay I had started years ago on another site that never got past the first post because my partner disappeared. So I just took the story concept and decided to write the whole thing myself. It also takes place in the same setting as an ongoing roleplay I have here (which was the original reason I joined QQ in the first place). So it made sense to have both of those stories be on the same forum in case I want to cross-reference them at some point.
 
I thought it would be fun and someone close to me is a big fan of the anime I'm writing a fanfic for. They even want me to update more, haha. Plus, writing practice doesn't hurt. It's more of a fun side project while I write on my actual original work like poetry and a novel.
 
Had ideas, a setting that had been percolating since my early teens (It's grown and evolved over time and about all the current iteration shares with the original is some background characters and the underlying concepts), time, and spite.
 
... I want to write multiversal fic with MC who is believable more less .
You know , he doesn't treat it like a game he can win , made a thought up plan to succeed , realistically careful/cautious/paranoid.

And tries to have life worth living. And by that one I mean have absolute control over it without being at mercy of someone , realize unfulfilled dreams.

I want to make it look more then just cheap wish fullfing fantasy. Invest real care and attention there without making it look bland .

It felt like a fun idea you know .
