    Font - One day, I was staying over and fell asleep and she went to her office to write. When I woke up I peered over her shoulder when she was writing and saw names that sounded familiar.

    Font - I haven't heard back from her since then and I told my sister and my sister agreed with Abby. I tried to call Abby but she texted me with "asshole," and nothing else. My sister thinks I owe Abby an apology but I don't think I did anything wrong and yet Abby is annoyed.

    Font - StreetofChimes · 6 hr. ago Asshole Enthusiast [8] There are fanfaction writers that go on to successful careers writing original stuff. So maybe OP is giving it a go. I think some fanfiction is better than the original works that they honor. And the writers are certainly talented.
