I want to communicate with people. I started writing as a roleplayer twelve years ago. Yeah, when I was seven, and I was an outcast even in elementary. I got online and started roleplaying and then-- lo and behold --I had friends.
After that it evolved into writing short stories in my school's writing club. We nerds had something to talk about, just this one thing: our writing.
And about a year ago I started writing fanfiction because that's an even broader audience. People read fanfiction, they like it, they contact the author. Contact me.
Basically I love people, and my writing is what lets them approach me.
