This is my first attempt at fanfiction. I recently discovered the Gravity Falls show, and so, of course I am late to the party-- late by several years. However, I wanted to try my hand at this. I have self-published several books, but I have never attempted fanfiction, and more specifically, I have never attempted romantic, sensual, or erotic fiction. -The hardest part of writing Wendip Fanfiction is trying to maintain the characterizations that someone else created, and stay true to what the creator intended. I had no idea it would be so tough (How do television and series writers do it?). The only slightly less difficult part is to put characters into a romantic situation. This is not a genre in which I am experienced, nor with which I am comfortable. --Most of those who know me know that I am asexual, or at least Grey (though not aromantic). The experiences a person has that, I assume, helps with this kind of writing, is about as foreign to me as a foreign language with which I am unfamiliar. And don't even get me started on erotica. The next hardest thing is making characters sound like normal people when they speak; having been an English teacher for so long, I have a tendency to maintain proper grammatical structures when I write-- but that's not how people talk. Frell, even *I* don't always maintain proper prescriptive structure when I talk. So far, it's a fun exercise. I must confess that working on this has given me new respect for fanfiction authors. Please feel free to critique my writing-- and be as brutal as you can. My aim is to improve.
