No really. It requires so much less brain energy. Characters already exist, setting already exists. Just gotta rewatch scenes, listen to the soundtrack, and worry only about making sure their voices are true to the show. Everything else already exists.
So when dealing with pain and brainfog and fatigue? Fanfiction lets me practice writing without using so much mental energy that I wipe myself out for a day or three. So I'm able to slowly find different strategies to write around my symptoms. So hopefully I'll be able to get back to finishing my Elivera novels.
Speaking of the fanfiction -- I wrote some Legend of Korra fanfiction (featuring my most favorite couple in all of animated media- Korrasami!).
Would anyone here be interested in reading? And what's a good way to post it? It's.... um... LONG. lol
