I think my issue with writing (original stories) is I write like I'm writing fanfiction. I take wonderful media made by other people and I pick at One Specific Part until I've addressed it ten ways to sunday. A story is a few characters and a problem that needs solving. Fanfiction is everything from slice of life to character studies to an epic saga to an alternate universe. When I write original stories, I treat my characters like they're real nuanced people instead of tools. They're a means to an end. It's entertainment, not journalism.
