Fanfiction and Life

Artists perform their arts in the only way they believe they can. For a fanfiction writer like myself, we write characters in the holes of stories.  We hope to immerse ourselves in a world that would give us room to be something more than we are in the real world. We do not write stories in the view of actual characters because it would be equivalent to relinquishing ourselves to fate. Rather than do so and relinquish our pride as individual thinkers, we create paths in the holes of the worlds we love just as we create our own path in life. It is our way of survival and for some, it is the only way we can survive in a world that we do not see as our own. I can be who ever I want in a story, and through this belief and writing I can be whomever I want in life.
