Obsession with characters and fanfiction

[Jenisautistic]

I have one I would like to share with you, my love of fanfiction and well ask if any of you are interested or obsessed over characters from media
If you don't write fanfiction, do you ever feel like you can buy with the characters and imagine what might happen to them even if you don't write fanfiction

I used to love reading fanfiction from my days of being obsessed with a lot of the BBC series. I do miss that quite a lot presently. The "fandom" days of the early to mid 2010s were great. Maybe after highschool I just became too wrapped up in 'trying to function as an adult' which has led to withdrawal and lack of actively seeking out those communities.

I only discovered fanfiction in recent years and have read some since, however I have daydreamed myself into story lines since I was a child. When I was a child, I would daydream myself into books that I read. In my early teens, I got obsessed with the original MacGyver TV series. I made a sort of father figure out of MacGyver in my imagination and would imagine him teaching me and me helping him rescue people. Around 19 I got a crush on the cook's helper, Mushy, on the Rawhide series. I wore Western wear for probably about 4 years or so and would frequently daydream that I was a cowgirl and Mushy was my boyfriend. It was sometime along then that I got my horse after pretending that things like the porch railing or the back of the couch were horses for a while. Later I got stuck on The A-Team for a couple of years. I would imagine being part of the group and H. M. Murdock being my boyfriend. For the past four or five years, I keep shifting between different bat villian origin stories and trying to come up with ways to prevent the characters from becoming villains. A non villainous Ed Nygma (Gotham version) is frequently my imaginary boyfriend.

Growing up I used to have restless nights where I'd day dream about being a character. These were continuous stories.
