of all the things I've done, if I died tomorrow, my fanfiction would be the most obvious, locateable, durable thing that I left on Earth

I think about this too, that my fanwork is basically my life's legacy. (I mean, hopefully I don't die any soon, but if that's what's left of me, that's cool.) My day job might be seen as more worthwhile, but it's not something that's attached to *me* the way my fic or vids are (neither in terms of having my name on it nor in the meaning it has for me).
