Gosh, I've just started to realize why I don't write fanfiction anymore. It's because to write a good fanfiction story you have to have a bunch of original ideas and I've gotten very protective of those ideas to the point where I don't even like telling my friends about them because I'm so worried about them getting stolen. 'Course, it's not like I don't trust my friends, but I know how easy it is to accidentally steal an idea without realizing it.
So that's mostly it, I don't want my original characters and/or plot ideas to get stolen and me unable to do anything about it because it's fanfiction and I don't have much legal leeway there. So to those who've read my writing and wondered I haven't updated them in such a long time, that's why.
I am, however, working on many original stories that I plan on at least putting on my website, and have hopes that they will one day wind up on bookstore shelves and eventually in peoples homes.
