my version of "i wonder what else they have written - RPF hockey???" is my 22 ghostbusters (2016) fanfics i wrote within 2 of my 8 years on ao3
#in 16 months to be precise#there's like 90k words there - none of them are good#please do not read them#but i keep them up as like. mostly a reminder to myself as to where i came from#i cannot look back at that era of my life without cringing a bit (this is impossible to do in general for early teen years)#and honestly all of my writing pre-2020 makes me cringe too much to be able to read it#but like. i wrote So Much for that fandom and Through Doing it i improved a lot. and i wouldn't be anywhere close to the writer i am today#if i hadn't#for context - the only other fandom that comes close to rivalling that in numbers is supergirl with 18 fics spanning 5 years#and just over 77k words all of them added together#like in total i have 52 fics on ao3 that's 8 more than my gb total#and Nearly 230k words altogether#so technically i've written more non-gb than gb#but that 133k took me 6 years!!#granted it's bc good writing takes uh. more time. i wasn't even editing when i first started posting#and i've written lots of original work in that time#but All of that original work - i hope to get published maybe someday soon-ish#if that ever goes anywhere - i owe that in large part to fanfic bc that's where i got all my practise my immediate feedback so much communi#and all that originates from ghostbusters (2016)#my first real fandom - the first place where i really felt like i fit in (it was like. exclusively neurodivergent queer women & non-binary#people - i didn't even know i was neurodivergent back then!! i hardly knew what adhd was. i hardly knew who i was. i was still semi-recentl#out as gay. i was figuring out how i fit into the whole gender thing#and that fandom had so much genuine love in it. it really shaped me as a person and i'm glad i was a part of it#even when i - yk as i am today - i probably wouldn't gravitate towards that movie#i've avoided rewatching it bc i realise it is much better in my fond memories#but i'm glad i was there!!#so even if i cringe abt it now i also refuse to orphan those works
