I think this is why I have gotten away from fanfic and whatnot. Sometimes I really need a base to help me write...the most acceptable in the literary world being Arthurian legend. I do spend a lot of time RPing on AOL and in D&D land (although the latter is arguably more of a social hobby akin to bowling or something), but my AOL characters are now being used in my own world. They were different enough to lump all of them together in one new world, though I'd never intended upon it. I always feel more productive when I write something ABOUT a fandom (issue, hobby, religion, etc.) than writing fanfiction. I hope this doesn't mean that I use it as a crutch or that my imagination died...I recall that my greatest teenage success involved finishing the sequel to Jurassic Park before Michael Chrichton (or however you spell it) did.
I anxiously await your new year's resolution post.
