Wow, this is... long

I'm working on a fest sign-up and started typing out my age for the age statement. And realised something: When I started out in fandom I was 18. EIGHTEEN. That was twelve years ago. I'm kind of flashed at that number. I mean, I know time passes, but I didn't really keep track of how long I've been doing this - writing fanfic, that is.

And even though I've been absent these last couple of months (for various reasons, including my job and my family and feeling a bit burnt out on the writing front), I still love it! I love fandom - the community, the writing, the creativity, the love for what we create. Aaaand I just needed to say this. Twelve years. Wow!
