Do you have an educational/professional background which is (in your opinion) relevant to fic writing?
As far as education ... no. I took a few years of university, but I never graduated. I was in advanced-placement English classes in high school, and took the core courses at college (American Literature/British Literature), but nothing beyond that. Professionally ... also no. Probably the closest I came to having a job with even a vague connection to writing was a position in which I read lawsuits and summarized them into plain English for the companies that were being sued. *g*
My husband knows I write fanfic and has read a little of it. One of his brothers (and his wife) also know, but they haven't read any of it. My sister doesn't know. It's not something I'm comfortable sharing, because I've learned the question that always follows is: "And then are you going to write something real?"
And heh, I'd love to have parts of the Re-Verse see the light of public day sometime. Maybe they could end up as "Special DVD Extras" or something. It's a much grittier, darker place than the Real AU, and I don't know what it says that we as a group write this kind of stuff to relax. :-D
