#ScribesAndMakers 21: Create work based on creations of others (fanart/fanfic/etc)?
I feel that's a gateway for many. As a teenager I used to sketch cartoon characters, which became writing fanfic. It helps to not have to create everything yourself (plus I find world building a real pain) and/or it lets one fill in little gaps. Audiences can find you too.
I ultimately leaned into parody ("Irony Chef", "Marmalade Mercury") before doing my own thing. I might return, mostly there's just no time.

#ScribesAndMakers 22: Collaborative work on a creative project? Way back in University I was chief scriptwriter for a musical; had to coordinate other writers. More recently I did some artwork with the (former) Comic Tea Party... I'd post here, but would want to attribute and don't have the brainpower. It all went fine, but I know I'm the type to overthink what others are doing, so it's not my go-to. It is less of a factor with RPGs, granted. Sorry for catsup, Qs later.
