12 Signs You Write Fanfiction
Vocalady Magazine

1. You accept the title of "Life Ruiner" a little too easily

"what would happen if X was going blind and was scared what Y would think" "Character X dies and the rest of the characters have to deal with it"

2. Half of your writings are unfinished because you keep getting ideas for alternate universes

3. When you decide to come back to something you wrote years ago and question how you thought that was good

The fact some of them are still picking up fans is just as shocking

4. At some point you've questioned what changes you need to make in order to get it published

5. You forever judge your work, but in the end it will always be better than My Immortal

6. You've made very specific playlists depending on what you're writing.

7. Your Google searches are a little questionable

I swear I'm not a criminal officer, I'm just a writer

8. If you play The Sims, your households consist primarily of the characters from your writings

And then you mod it to no end to make characters look as accurate as possible.

9. You can't watch certain movies or TV shows because you've already cast a certain actress or actor to play your original character.


For instance, Meghan Ory from Once Upon a Time is Lady Loki, Holliday Grainger is Persephone, and Liu Yifei is my original character Kisara

10. The next few days after uploading a chapter you spend checking for reviews/favorites/follows

11. Sometimes you get a little TOO invested in the fictional world and forget about real life

Alternative: You start learning more about the history of the world because of the influences on the fictional one.

12. You either can succeed in writing 5-10 page chapters of work or fail to finish one page of homework.

It's something I know too true. You spend more time on work you want to do then stuff you don't.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
