Heh. I certainly agree that fanfic chases writer's block away like no other exercise! As a buildup to original fiction, I also agree that it will help in the long run. OC (original character) creation especially gets the creative juices flowing for me. I've discovered a few personality and background concepts that I'll probably use someday when attempting my own "Mikhaila". That'll be a long way off from where I am, though.<br /><br />I got quite a laugh out of your LOTR anecdote! It brought back some great memories. I don't think I'm qualified to pass judgement on Hugo Weaving's performance, not having any background knowledge of him as an actor and having never been a huge fan of Elrond in the books or movies. The hobbits were too distracting for me- a trait that I believe I inherited from my dad, who says he skimmed the the trilogy, only reading the parts with our little halfling friends.<br /><br />All in all, fanfic will probably be my favorite writing category for the rest of my life, whether or not I manage a decent original piece.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13505032135429162677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7452387984510615881.post-11814752154344092692014-09-19T20:21:14.739-05:002014-09-19T20:21:14.739-05:00Never having written fan fiction, I don't feel...Never having written fan fiction, I don't feel qualified to comment on that. But I must agree that Elrond could have been cast better. I don't care for Hugo Weaving in anything I've seen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
