🍓 ⇢ how did you get into writing fanfiction?
Ohh a really fun one! Thank you!
Well, it actually started even before I was a writer at all. I always loved reading, and I would imagine myself into the stories I read. I never like, pretended that I was the main character because they were already their own person, but I would add myself in as a new character and create dynamics between myself and other characters and stuff. I remember I had this whole thing where I was like the adopted younger sister of the Hardy Boys, and I had a whole AU based on the Tintin movie and stuff. I finally started writing at 14ish, but that was all original stories (although a lot of them were me seeing a mivie ot something and thinking, "well what if this other thing had happened" and then creating a whole new story).
The first fanfiction I actually wrote was for the Carmen Sandiego Netflix show! I was really sad they didn't get a Red Crackle reunion at the end of the show (ah my tragic ship 😭) and so I ended up plotting out a whole "season 5" that got Carmen and Gray together and answered a bunch of the unanswered questions and stuff. I never finished it but I did post a few of the scenes on Wattpad. (I really should actually finish that at some point. It was actually a pretty good story and had a great character arc for Gray and tied everything up really nicely with callbacks to other important episodes and stuff.) I ended up getting into Sonic through the movies and started writing fics for this fandom instead. The first one I ever started was a full backstory for Movie Tails inspired by the song Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson (I never finished that either but it's still in my file of WIPs. One day...). And yeah the rest is history I guess!
As for the other question... I don't think I've ever actually had strawberry shortcake! I've had a piece of shortcake with strawberries and ice cream (before I had to go gluten free) which I guess is basically the same thing though. So I'd probably like it! Someone make me a gluten free one and I'll try it out 😋😅 Sorry Sonic, I don't think it sucks 🤣
