I got into writing by writing Creepypastas.

@BraveCrab omg while i can't handle creepypastas because i'm a scaredy cat, they also weirdly allure me. :3
personally, i started writing on old croatian forums and blogs. we had a pokemon forum, and those were my first stories. back in the day, blog.hr was a very popular croatian blogging platform, and there was a big harry potter community (i wouldn't touch it now lol), but yeah, it was more than 13 years ago. we would all write our own hogwarts stories with characters and even swap characters between ourselves.
i also had a dear friend at the time, and we would write stories in notebooks and then exchange them so we can read the newest chapter.

I used to frequent a pokemon forum aaages ago, I don't think I spent much time posting about pokemon. I was there for the RP, which started off being somewhat about pokemon before just becoming some random fantasy quest.

I hated reading. Then I played a video game based on a series of books (Death's Gate Cycle if anyone wanted to know) and read the books. Then I realized I wanted to inspire other people to read, so I started writing. I started with original stuff but couldn't get anywhere with it, then got into writing fanfiction until I felt like I got the hang of writing endings. Then went back to original stuff.

I was in various fandom jamjar roleplays on Livejournal, and my main one was prose-based. I did enjoy doing it and even wrote two small fanfiction drabbles. I enjoyed exploring the characters and writing prose. When the RP died, I more or less quit creative writing, too.
I intend to pick up at least writing fanfiction again, but I tend to be fresh out of ideas and I never actually sit down and do it. Maybe I should see if I can find those two old fanfics, edit/rewrite them, and post them on AO3.
