Here’s the second guest post I mentioned on Sunday, this one by another of my Protagonize friends, Asheyna. I want to extend my thanks to her, both for posting here and for letting me post on her blog. Sounds like the barter system, don’t it?
I was so excited when Faltarego asked for guest posts on his Twitter and for some crazy reason decided to allow me to write something.

Thankfully Faltarego is a super nice person and hasn’t harassed me at all for my lack of writing ability.
Met Faltarego over on Protagonize, which is a truly awesome website, and if he doesn’t post about it I’m going to sneak back over here and do it myself! He’s the one that really introduced me to the idea of writing fan fiction. I’d read some Harry Potter fanfic which was pretty good but had never thought about it beyond that. Then he harassed me into joining the Fan Fiction group he moderated.
