Re-post if you're a Otaku and Proud!

We are Fanfiction.

We are the girls who spend more time writing than talking.

We are the boys who spend more time reading than watching TV.

We are the teens who run to the fictional when their real lives are unbearable.

We are the college kids who should be studying, but aren’t because of the plot bunny that won’t stop running around in our heads.

We are the budding authors who procrastinate their original work to write “just one more oneshot”.

We live in Fanfiction.

We live in our computers.

We live in the minds of our readers.

We live in our letters, our words, our sentences.

We live in the stories, the reviews, the endless profiles.

We live in worlds that aren’t even ours.

We can become Fanfiction.

We can become the one people wait for just to see what we have to say.

We can become a queen, a king, the beloved one of a fandom.

We can become a role model, inspiration, and encouragement for younger writers.

We can become the person who smiles upon reading a review and finding that we have disturbed a room with our reviewer’s laughter, broken a fan’s heart, moved someone to tears, or opened a window that would have otherwise stayed firmly shut and veiled.

We can become the one to save a story, save a writer, even, with just a few taps on the keyboard and a good bit of constructive criticism.

Because aren't we all?

WE ARE FANFICTION.
