Why I Decided to Start Writing Fanfiction Again

I begun this essay as a way to get over my bitterness about missing Signal2Noise 2k5 when I was two stops down on the T because of soul-crushing work, and resulted in a catharsis on my problems and generally a good way to clear the headspace.

Thanks muchly to lareinenoire, rosamund, & drglam for looking it over and helping me out when I was stuck.
