Back in my college days, in the mid 90s, I wrote fanfic for a series that has been off longer than some of you have been alive. This was a time when fanfic was a brand new concept and the World Wide Web was in its toddler stage. I wrote out of sheer angst to be honest, but I loved it, and people had fun reading my work. But as quickly as it began it ended and for the past 15 years I've written no fanfic. I've written loads of things for work that are read, but it's not quite the same.

But something about these magical ponies inspired me to write again. Not out of angst, but out of a sheer desire to share my thoughts and give beck. I won't say I'm the best writer, and likely need a friendly proofreader, but I feel a spark I've not felt in a long time. Right now I'm focusing on short stories, but I give props to the novelists out there who really go for it and write big! Some may not like my writing, or even notice it, which is fine, because I'm content with nothing to prove or loose this time.
