I am envious

 I am in awe of people who write really good fanfic.  I just finished "the Bright Lights of Disturbia" by Leonidas.  So good and so deeply written.  There are so many others that are also really good.  I wish I could do that.  I have tried a few times and just am not a creative writer.  I am imagination challenged.  It sucks.  I want to do it too!  

I guess I will have to remain happy just reading more of the great stories written by others.  I admit to getting a bit panicky when I finish something long and deep that I love...what if I can't find another really great story to take up my interest?  Luckily there seems to be so much really good Supernatural fic that I am likely safe.  But I worry (I can't help myself) because I also love Highlander slash and there isn't much new being written there.  Some more came out when the show was on in reruns, but then everyone moves on to something else.  

What will I do if authors get tired of Sam and Dean???

I don't think the Fandom will tire too easily. We be DIEHARDS!

Like you, I've always been a reader, but Ive never been a writer. I got brave after I found a fanfiction writing class, but alas, it was just cancelled! So I signed up for a one day seminar on basic writing. Have you ever taken a class or seminar in writing?

No formal writing class, but lots of other formal education and professions where I have done much writing. I am a fine writer/editor but unfortunately have no imagination for character or plot. I have not abandoned all hope, however.

Maybe I can convince the gods of inspiration and imagination to pay ya a visit! Keep trying. Sounds like you already have the skills!
