What if you like... read fanfiction but didn't tell anyone that you did? That will totally be me in 20 years when I write comics professionaly (I can dream, Harold!).

Time does become an issue and of course, you really DON’T want to be influenced by what other people come up with, especially stuff that’s not in canon.

I was never a big fic reader to be honest, but I always liked the community and I like the interactivity of it.
