You know you're a die-hard fan-fic writer when...
1) You have added words like "Cair Paravel" and "firkin" to your word processor's dictionary. (HATE seeing Calormene listed as "Did you mean Caloric?")
2) You speak of your stories as being "canon" with Byron on Wells, Southward the Tigers, or other such works Lewis SHOULD have written but didn't.
3) You have a favorite designation for young beasts and use it consistently, whether it is "kits" or "furlings" or "younglings", etc.
4) By extension, you create inclusive adjectives like "ladies and gentlebeasts" or "all paws on deck."
5) You're absolutely sure you could find all the places in your stories without asking directions.
6) Extra-credit: you have decided which actors/actresses would be perfect for the roles you created.
7) Extra-extra-credit: you have composed music for scenes or selected tracks from your music library to accompany the "film" you see in your head.
8) Extra-extra-extra credit: you have used AI to create a "portrait" of your favorite characters, but were disappointed that it didn't exactly match what you saw in your head.
