I have worked some on book Ideas I had, but nothing published or printed.

I've just completed my 12th fanfic story.

I have to admit, fanfic is way easier to write than original stories as most of the foundation work (character names, backstories, personalities) etc have been done by the original writer and thus are available for reference.
Literary scaffolding is a phrase I have heard used before.

Original stores are way harder and I only have two of them, neither of which are that good.

Guess this means that writing will remain a hobby for me.

I can't write anywhere near as well as Weber
But I try nonetheless, And even do my own artwork.

Indeed. But hey, providing a little entertainment to some people and maybe ideas for some, not a bad hobby. :)

Ideas, huh? That would be the two Pet Shop collections in Konoha and Little Whinging where Plot Bunnies are available.
In fact, this page collects Plot Bunny collections. (Meta, huh?)
And for those who follow Naruto, I managed to turn Iruka into a real BAMF.
It's a shame that only one Bunny has been adopted so far...

FWIW, I'm plugging away at my little fanfictional corner of the Honorverse; 3 chapters of the sequel to my first story are up at FanFiction.net now (as well as the first chapter of an unrelated Honorverse story some people may find more interesting).
