Feeling the fanfic itch again

dbskylerHi everyone! I don't even remember the last time I posted, but I'm finally starting to feel fannish again, so I am finding myself lurking here a little more, and I'm re-reading fanfic. I am also feeling the itch to write again, which is great because the last time I wrote anything was over three years ago (!)
As a way of easing myself back in, I have compared my fics on Teaspoon to those on AO3 and started importing some that I hadn't moved over. Which led to an interaction this evening where I had to explain to an AO3 reader why a fic I wrote in 2009 didn't reference an episode that aired in 2010. Which also led to my realizing that I used to write fanfic a very long time ago. Has it really been that long since we were all on LJ together and excited about new episodes with the Tenth Doctor?
Yes. Yes, it has. sigh
Anyway, I'm enjoying feeling the itch to write again, so that's something at least. Although I'm not sure yet which fandom I want to write in. Or if I will end up writing at all, for that matter. But that's the thing about time, right? It passes while you're not looking, but it can always surprise you. Looking forward to finding out what happens next.
