Snowflake Challenge: Day 10

Day 10: Create a fanwork.

My gut reaction to any sort of creative challenge is to write fiction for it. But coming off a very long period of a muddled relationship with writing and creative hobbies in general, I'd like to do something out of that vein but in the same realm. Rather than dedicating myself to writing a fic (because I'll be doing that whether or not someone challenges me to), I've decided to write a short meta essay that's been fluttering around my mind for a while now.

I don't know exactly when I'll get round to it, but I'll leave this link here so that when I do finish it, people can follow to it through this post should they want to.

I've been wanting to analyse a particular scene from the manga Sasameki Koto for ages; it's an emotional catharsis scene, one where we see a character who's been holding in their pain for a long time suddenly and violently let it out. I empathised with them so strongly, and realised that I related on a level that I very rarely do with scenes like that, if ever. It clicked with something in my heart. So I'm determined to give it it's due.

Excellent idea. Sometimes I think we as fans put too much emphasis on the fiction and the art as if those are the only kinds of "fanwork" and then I genuinely start to feel guilty like I'm a bad fan if I haven't written or drawn anything in ages (and sometimes the energy is just not there to spark the creativity).

Who knows why creatives are so harsh on themselves

It does seem to be universally true, doesn't it?
