Fandom

I hate quotation.  Tell me what you know.

Unlike many in the fan community, I have an uneasy relationship with fan fiction.  I indulged in it a few times during college.  I’ve had half a mind to write a fan screenplay of Dune, or Neon Genesis Evangelion, or Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.  I even developed an idea for a sequel novel to the Avatar: the Last Airbender, but with the upcoming Legend of Korra covering similar grounds, I haven’t pursued it.

And I will never write any of the above.

Why?
